The Programme Committee of the TEI Members' Meeting invites individual paper proposals, panel sessions, poster sessions, and tool demonstrations particularly, but not exclusively, on the theme, broadly conceived, TEI: Supporting Cultural Heritage Research.

Submission Topics

Topics might include but are not restricted to:

  • TEI-based projects involving cultural heritage
  • Using TEI to create:
    • scholarly editions
    • hybrid publications (digital and print)
  • Tools that use TEI
  • TEI used in conjunction with:
    • different technologies
    • other standards
  • TEI as:
    • metadata standard
    • interchange format: sharing, mapping and migrating data
  • TEI and its contribution to digital scholarship
  • TEI and markup theory

In addition, we are seeking P5 micropaper proposals for 5 minute presentations on the topic My favourite (or least favourite) P5 feature, chapter, or addition.

Submission Types

Individual paper presentations will be allocated 30 minutes: 20 minutes for delivery, and 10 minutes for questions & answers.

Panel sessions will be allocated 1.5 hours and may be of varied formats, including:

  • three paper panels: 3 papers on the same or related topics;
  • working paper session: 3-6 papers circulated and read by the audience in advance, so the entire session is dedicated to discussion of and questions & answers about, the papers rather than presenting the papers;
  • round table discussion: 3-6 presenters on a single theme. Ample time should be left for questions & answers after brief presentations.

Posters (including tool demonstrations) will be presented during the poster session. The local organizer will provide flip charts and tables for poster session/tool demonstration presenters, along with wireless internet access. Each poster will have the opportunity to participate in a slam immediately preceding the poster session.

P5 micropapers will be allocated 5 minutes.
