[tei-council] Fwd: Re: TEI Object Working Group

[Stefanie Gehrke]

Bonjour,

James asked for comments on a proposal for a WG, so here are some thoughts to the current proposal regarding the WG on the consequences of a TEI <object>.

>From my point of view the TEI already started considering descriptions of objects of any kind, not only TBO, 
see also TEI-Council Face2Face-Meeting November 2013 
where the question has been brought up that we then would need sample data. 

A positiv decision to consider descriptions of objects of any kind would, as far as I can see it, allow 
to create for example TEI-files on « works » ( = abstract objects) and associating relations, 
and there are certainly lots of different ideas what to describe in TEI.

Personally I can see an existing demand for reflecting on synergy between FRBRoo and CIDOC-CRM and the TEI. 
As already mentioned in November, we are (in the scope of the French Biblissima project) working on an RDF framework 
for several databases including TEI encodings.

Finally the results of the Europeana Regia project on Medieval Manuscripts already pointed in the same direction. An almost complete mapping between TEI and EDM would only be possible if one could express relations between CHOs in TEI. As far as I understand, probably a lot could be achieved by extending the scope of relation to the (proposed) object elements and to events, as the SIG Ontologies TEI MM 2013 suggests. 
	
The main challenge would be, in my opinion, together to look on the manuscript description from that 'new' object/relation perspective to get an idea about the possible synergies.

A very interesting topic, looking forward to an upcoming discussion.

Regards and bon dimanche
Stefanie

PS: If the TEI is interested in sample data, it would be my pleasure to ask project partners for their approval.

Dear Council,

I entirely neglected to forward this to Council and mention it 
during the TeleConference. Mea Culpa.  This is Torsten's WG 
Proposal (attached) for a TEI Object working group. It does not 
include any costings for a face-to-face, but I would suspect that 
it would probably cost less than 50% of a council face-to-face. 
(Since we could have less people attending it, institutional 
contributions, piggy-back on important conferences, or be in some 
central location.)

Please read the attached proposal and comment back to Council 
list (but CC'ing in Torsten and Oyvind) during the next couple weeks.

Many thanks,

-James

Hi James, hi all,

here are some ideas on how to structure the work on the object 
matter.
It doesn't go very much into detail but summarises the 
discussions held
in various meetings and proposes a schedule. No words about the costs
here but financial help to meet f2f might be needed unless the
interested people will meet at certain occasions anyway.

I hope this will be helpful.

Best, Torsten
