[tei-council] [AIR] action item report: Epigraphical encoding

[Christian Wittern]

Dear Council members,

This is a report about my follow up to section 8.4 of the minutes at
http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Council/tcm17.xml?style=printable 

I have been looking around to see what people in the epigraphical
field been doing.  Elli Mylonas pointed me to a number of ressources,
among other things the EpiDoc group and a mailing list, both run by
Tom Elliot.  He responded today, after more than a month, that he will
be following up soon.  

I looked briefly at EpiDoc, which looks like it could use a lot of
work. On the upside, they came up with Guidelines of their own for
their user community and some stylesheets to get things going.
Development seems to be rather slow.   I will work further with them
and will see if a common base for further development can be found.
There are some projects, most notably the Aphrodisias project at Kings
College etc.

All the best,

Christian
