                               OBJECTIVES
 
 
1.    Reformulate this list of objectives.
2.    Formulate a list of document, source, or text types of particular
      interest to historians.
3.    Formulate an account of important analytic or interpretive proce-
      dures, and the types of (encodable) information they require,
      which are of particular importance to the historical disciplines.
4.    Make a preliminary evaluation of TEI P1 as to the facilities it
      provides for handling these text types, procedures, and ancillary
      information.
5.    Formulate a list of work groups needed to create document type
      definitions, tags, and documentation for the encoding of the text
      types not now adequately handled by TEI P1, or tags and documenta-
      tion for analytic or interpretive information of particular inter-
      est to historians.  For each work group, specify a list of con-
      crete objectives and requirements, and suggest deadlines for the
      work.
