[tei-council] Update on the activities of the TEI Pointer working group

[Gabriel BODARD]

Dear Councillors,

Here is the feedback I was tasked to report at the last F2F:

The TEI Pointer/Stand-off mark up working group will eventually propose 
to TEI Council that the specifications of the various Pointer/XPointer 
methods in the guidelines be improved, both (a) by the addition of 
concrete examples of the use of TEI Pointer and other schemes, and some 
guidance as to which are appropriate in different contexts (and indeed 
in combination), and (b) by technical description, including examples, 
of precisely what an implementation of the TEI Pointer schemes is 
expected to do.

To this end we are building (very much ongoing) a page of examples of 
usage in the TEI Wiki 
(http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Stand-off_use_cases), including 
examples of XML, the Pointers one might use to address them, the use one 
might make of these Pointers downstream, and a technical description of 
the output from any such uses. Anyone from Council who might like to 
contribute to this page is encouraged to do so.

Cheers,

G
