[tei-council] US Senate exposed to TEI

[David Sewell]

I forgot to report on this: last week, three of us from U of Virginia 
Press went up to Washington to present our digital American Founding Era 
material to a meeting of the National Historical Publications and 
Records Commission, mostly composed of historians, archivists, and 
librarians. But it has two Congressional representatives, and one of 
them, Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland, was there in person (the other 
sent a staff member). So he was there for my slide presentation that 
included a TEI-encoded document to Thomas Jefferson, with angle 
brackets, syntax coloring, and all:

(Web export of an Apple Keynote presentation).

We also visited staff in the Office of the Historian at the State 
Department, where the Foreign Relations of the United States series

   http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/index.htm

is being digitized into TEI; the search interface linked from the above 
page runs on eXist with TEI XML on the back end.

TEI world domination is on track...
