[tei-council] Query on manuscript catalogue records from Chilean museum

[Kevin Hawkins]

The people in the TEI community most knowledgeable about the museum 
community are probably the ontologists working with CIDOC-CRM.  Oyvind 
comes to mind.

But there are many more people who are doing manuscript catalogues. 
Jindrich Marek, Matija Ogrin, and Matthew Driscoll come to mind. 
Instead of referring to individuals, you might simply suggest they join 
TEI-L and post there to explain what they want to do and ask for 
samples, as is common practice.
