Objectives

1. Reformulate this list of objectives.
2. Evaluate the existing recommendations of TEI P1 by encoding several small sample texts. The texts should demonstrate the use of selective apparatus and at least one exhaustive collation of a non-trivial (more than 10) number of variant states. Report on the relative efficacy of the four methods proposed in TEI P1.
3. Review current practice in the encoding of features commonly found in critical editions other than apparatus and propose recommendations consistent with the remainder of P1. Topics to be addressed should include (but not be limited to) the following:
   • editorial interventions
   • dubious readings and cruxes
   • lacunae
   • historical-critical commentary
   • glossarial notes
   • parallel versions in other languages and scripts
4. Respond to comments on the relevant portions of TEI P1 routed to this work group by the editors.

Administrative
