Agenda for Myrdal Meeting <author>C. M. Sperberg-McQueen and Lou Burnard <docnum>TEI ED A5 <date>&docdate. </titlep> <!> </frontm> <!> <body> <p> The Myrdal meeting of TEI committees TR and AI (15-18 November 1991) will be an important opportunity for general discussion of technical issues and for deciding questions which must be resolved in the preparation of TEI P2. The meeting will take the form of a long plenary session (Saturday and most of Sunday), in which the technical issues to be reviewed are discussed systematically, interleaved with (or possibly followed by) time for meetings of smaller groups assigned to solve specific technical problems arising during the plenary session, and concluding with a plenary session (Sunday evening[?] and Monday morning) during which the groups assigned to resolve conflicts report their solutions back to the plenary session for approval. <p> Each technical issue will need to be presented in written form to the committees and other attendees, by electronic documents to be distributed from Chicago to attendees by 8 November. The topics for which individuals are responsible are given below. <emph>Please</emph> do not miss this deadline, as later submissions will make preparation for the meeting unnecessarily difficult for your colleagues. <p> In the meeting, each topic will need to be reviewed briefly; work group heads should come to the meeting prepared to summarize in a few words (10 minutes) the technical content of their group's recommendations: the tags to be used, the rules for their usage, and the DTD fragments defining the tags. The editors will act as respondents or rapporteurs on topics presented by the work group heads; the group discussion will be led by the chair of the meeting. <!> <h1>Agenda <p> The topics to be covered, and those responsible for the written and oral presentations, include: <ul> <li>general editorial principles and overall structure of TEI P2 (the editors) <li>general questions arising from comments on TEI P1 (the editors)---questions on specific sections of the Guidelines will be brought up at the appropriate point in the review <li>section by section technical review of TEI P2.<fn> For an overview of the contents and structure of TEI P2, see document ED W23. </fn> N.B.

The <q>canonical</q> form for sections introducing tags in TEI P2 is given in document ED W23: such sections should comprise <ol> <li>a description or definition of the features being covered <li>a list (in list form, as in sections 5.3.2, 5.3.9, 5.3.3, 5.6.4, inter alia, of TEI P1) of tags marking these features, attributes associated with these tags (nested within the tag list), and special values associated with these attributes <li>the element and attribute list declarations defining these elements and their attributes <li>one, two, or three examples of not more than a paragraph each in length, showing the use of the tags </ol> <p> The editors recognize that it will not be possible for all work groups to produce such drafts in time for the Myrdal meeting. In the absence of such a draft, the written material presented for distribution to the attendees of the Myrdal meeting should summarize as much as possible of the information to be covered in a draft. At a <emph>minimum</emph>, the summary should <ul> <li>list the features to be distinguished with possible tag names <li>specify how they are to be related structurally (what elements nest within what others, ...) <li>indicate any variations in expected usage (noting, for example, that two forms of the DTD are to be provided, one for strict usage and one for less strictly structured material, or one for convenient handling of simple cases and one for more powerful handling of more complex cases) </ul> <p> All material will be distributed electronically as soon as it is received in Chicago. If you cannot reliably receive electronic material, please contact Wendy Plotkin (U49127@UICVM.Bitnet or U49127@ UICVM.CC.UIC.EDU) or (312-413-0331 Phone/312-996-6834 Fax) at once to arrange for other methods of communication. The volume of material expected will probably make fax prohibitively expensive. <!> <h1>Other Written Material <p> With this document you should be receiving a copy of TEI A0, the list of all currently active TEI documents. Many of these documents should be useful in preparations for Myrdal; to receive copies, contact Wendy Plotkin. </body> <!> </gdoc>
