[tei-council] TEI-XML as basis for print publications?

[David Sewell]

Hard on the heels of the Library folk wrapping up work on TEI Tite,
there is a movement underway in the university press community to talk
about the use of TEI in scholarly publishing and perhaps (via a similar
schema customization) as the basis for monograph/journal publication.
There will most likely be a TEI SIG proposal for a publishers' SIG of
some sort, and a grant proposal may emerge from the AAUP (Association of
American University Presses) to develop a collaborative schema,
workflow, and possibly conversion tools (MS Word to XML for example).

Obviously it will be good if there is some high-level discussion between
TEI and AAUP (heads up, Dan), as well as international outreach to draw
in other publishing communities beyond North America.

In the meantime, does anyone have a sense offhand of how many print
monographs or journals have been produced via a TEI workflow? That is,
typeset either directly from TEI files (via translation at the
typesetter's end), or via TEI-to-PDF or TEI-to-LaTeX conversion using
our tools? The Guidelines, obviously, but are there others? Should I
post the query to TEI-L?
