TEI 2014: Papers by category
The following is a rough grouping of papers by heuristic rather than systematic categories. Each paper has been put in only one category.
Click here for a schedule of only the TEI events.
Click here for a summary schedule of both TEI and DHCS events.
The schedule does not include the workshops, poster sessions, and SIG meetings.
All the TEI workshops will take place on Saturday, October 25, in rooms on the Northwestern campus. Consult the workshop page for more details.
The DHCS Colloquium and TEI Conference will share a poster session on Thursday, October 23, 10:30 – 16:00 in the Rogers Room and adjacent lobby spaces. This is a controlled environment, and presenters will be free to come and go.
SIG meetings will be scheduled by the participants to minimize conflicts with papers they might want to attend.
The TEI Standard
Fabio Ciotti (Università Roma Tor Vergata), Francesca Tomasi (Università di Bologna)
Formal ontologies and TEI semantics
XML (and therefore TEI) is good at articulating structural features, poor at articulating semantic features. A proposal for a TEI semantics based on OWL 2DL
Ciotti-Tomasi Abstract
Elena González-Blanco, Gimena Del Rio Riande , Clara Martinez Canton, Maria Dolores Martos Perez, (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia)
When TEI Verse becomes linked data: using TEI tags as a model to build a linked poetry system
Prosodic properties of poetry are inconsistently encoded within TEI or in non-TEI projects. A proposal to make these different encoding schemes interoperable by expressing them at a more abstract level, using the theoretical schema (expressed in TEI) of the Spanish Medieval Repertoire on Medieval Poetry
Gonzalez-Blanco Abstract
Martin David Holmes (University of Victoria)
CodeSharing: a simple API for disseminating our TEI encoding
How can the encoders of one project learn from what others have done. An API that makes this process easier, with a sample implementation.
Holmes Codesharing Abstract
Sabine Seifert (Humboldt University, Berlin), Marcel Illetschko (Literature Archive, Austrian National Library, Vienna), Peter Stadler (University of Paderborn)
Towards a correspondence module in the TEI
A progress report on creating a correspondence module parallel to other genre specific modules in TEI, starting with a new correspDesc element in the teiHeader
Seifert Illetschko Stadler Abstract
Peter Stadler (University of Paderborn)
Power to the ODDs. Or: Why tei_all isn’t everything
Can you improve interoperability by articulating the TEI model at a more abstract level than the system of elements with their particular names?
Stadler Abstract
James Cummings (Oxford), Sebastian Rahtz (Oxford) , Brian Pytlik Zillig ((Nebraska-Lincoln), Martin Mueller (Northwestern)
TEI Simple
A progress report on the TEI Simple project
Torsten Schaßan (Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel)
Interpret the code: Towards a generic processing and presentation of TEI encoded digital editions
Statistical tag analysis of digital editions may be used to find out about the typology and purpose of the edition realised. From that an assumption about the presentation may be possible as well as to foster interoperability of the data.
Schassan Abstract
Text Analysis
Susanna Allés Torrent (Spanish National Research Council)
Decoding Lexical Resource
Encoding print dictionaries as XML tree structures. Latin dictionaries from medieval Catalonia are the examples. Torrent Abstract
Elisa Eileen Beshero-Bondar (University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg)
Poetic Structures, TEI, Network Analysis, and Step-wise Distance: An “Anti-Social” Networking Experiment with Robert Southey’s Thalaba the Destroyer (1801)
TEI’s ordered hierarchy for poetry markup is useful for generating networks of contextually related place references in long, annotated epic poems, such as Southey’s Thalaba the Destroyer. TEI structural markup can be used to generate an unconventional “anti-social” network of realistic and mythical places, hard for a reader to keep track of and process without some kind of mapping, bridged across paratext notes and lines of verse. Beshero-Bondar Abstract
Jason Alexander Boyd (Ryerson University)
The Texting Wilde Project: Thoughts on Tools for a Computer-Assisted Exegesis of a Biographical Corpus
Exploring the use of TEI markup to enable the analysis of a corpus of life-writing texts relating to Oscar Wilde (pre-1945), with thoughts on tools to facilitate this analysis.
Boyd Abstract
Jennifer Olive, Ben Miller, Ayush Shrestha, Jin Zhao, Nicholas Subtirelu, Yanjun Zhao, (Georgia State University) Olive-Miller
Narrative Markup with TEI
Narratives of human rights violations are analyzed by using narratological categories that are mapped to TEI elements.
Manuel Portela, António Rito Silva, (University of Lisbon)
Assisted Construction of Taxonomies for LdoD
Look for patterns in the fragmentary and posthumous work of a 20th century Portugese poet by using ‘classifiers’ of various kinds. Portela Silva Abstract
Digital Editions
Hugh Cayless (Duke University)
Critical Apparatus, Annotation, and the TEI
A discussion of why most extant TEI digital editions lack critical apparatus and how recent developments may help us to remedy this situation.
Cayless Abstract
Ondine Eda LeBlanc (Massachusetts Historical Society)
New Publishing Alchemy: Creating Page Layout from XML Files for a World War I Memoir
How two editors at the Massachusetts Historical Society, with limited technical expertise, nonetheless created page layout, using InDesign, directly from TEI in order to publish a print edition of the memoir of Margaret Hall, an amateur photographer who volunteered near the frontlines in WWI. LeBlanc Abstract
Magadalena Turska, Sebastian Rahtz, James Cummings (Oxford)
Ending the myth of presentation in digital editions
Are the data of an edition means to a particular and privileged presentation, or is the presentation ‘merely’ the side effect? You can’t have one without the other but the long-term worth lies in representation of the knowledge.
Turska Rahtz Cummings Abstract
Early Modern
Brent L. Nelson (University of Saskatchewan)
Curating Collections of Curiosities Using the TEI
A project to create a virtual meta collection of the “curiosity cabinets” of Early Modern collectors. Nelson Abstract
Sinai Rusinek (Polonsky Academy at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute)
Plotting Early Modern Paratexts
Paratext and its various genres tell much about their times, and the encoding of the EEBO-TCP corpus enables us the exploration of Early Modern culture through its paratexts. Rusinek Abstract
Cornelis J. Schilt (University of Sussex)
Newton open-sourced: Performing cross-corporal Latent Semantic Analysis on EEBO-TCP and the Corpus Newtonicum
In his historical writing Newton quoted a lot of ancient writers, sometimes inaccurately, by accident or on purpose. This paper explores what we can find out about his citation practices by exploring textual reuse” technologies and profiling Newton against the EEBO-TCP corpus. Schilt Abstract
Music

Decoding Text and Music: TEI (and MEI) in the Thesaurus musicarum latinarum
Musical treatises in Latin from late antiquity to 1700. A text archive with TEI tagging, named entity extraction, careful separation of text and ‘paratext’, topic modeling search interface and now encoding of musical examples in MEI.

The Freischütz Digital project: a digitally assisted approach of the edition of the opera Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber for both music and libretto and their relationships. Röwenstrunk-Schreiter-Seuffert
Towards interoperability
Nicholas Mark Homenda, Michelle Dalmau, Juliet L. Hardesty (Indiana University)
All the Wright Moves: Migrating Wright American Fiction for Streamlined TEI Publishing
Approximately 3,000 books from the Wright American Fiction project 1851-1875, originally encoded from 2000-03, have been converted to TEI P5 and mediated through the California Digital Library XTF platform. Lessons from this project include simpler, more standardized, and interoperable ways of working with data.

Beyond the TEI Trees. Graphical Visualizations of TEI as a path towards seeing the whole forest
