Subject:  Medieval Manuscripts Work Group Meeting #1: July 3-4, 1998 NY City
 
This is to announce that the TEI work group on markup of medieval
manuscript descriptions (TEI MMSS) will meet in New York City on 3-4
July 1998, from 9 a.m to 5 p.m.; the actual meeting site is yet to be
determined (it will certainly be on the Upper West Side in the Columbia
University area), so please feel free to contact C. W. Dutschke
(cwd3@columbia.edu) for specific local arrangements.
 
The WWW site of this work group, including a list of its members and
their addresses, is on the TEI web site at:
 
                http://www.uic.edu/orgs/tei/wg/mmss/
 
The provisional agenda is:
 
 1.  Introductions and administrative announcements.
 2.  Review of existing schemes, esp. the work already done by L. Burnard,
 R. Gartner and P. Kidd, and that recently proposed in draft form by G.
 Pass, L. Creider and E. O'Keefe for a MARC-AMC implementation of the same
 standards.
 3.  Testing of existing TEI markup on sample medieval manuscript
 descriptions.
 4.  Planning for future work.
 
As a matter of TEI policy, current members of active TEI workgroups,
the TEI technical review committee, or the TEI executive committee are
welcome to attend this meeting as observers; persons not actively
participating in the TEI work may attend with the permission of either
of the workgroup heads. Non-WG members who wish to attend should
contact the local head of the workgroup, C. W. Dutschke.
 
Minutes of the meeting will be posted on the TEI WWW site within a month
after the meeting is held.
