I've run them all on, so they take a bit less room. i've also given it a name, since otherwise we'll just lose it. it's now christened TEI J10. Michael ----- (tei j10) Guide to the Structure of the Text Encoding Initiative TEI document TEI J10 27 September 1989 ------------------------------------- This document describes the structure of the Text Encoding Initiative, especially the existing committees and working groups. These groups will develop the guidelines for text encoding and text interchange to be promulgated by the TEI. The overall structure of the project, its goals, and its basic plan are all described in more detail in other documents available from the initiative. A list of publicly available documents is available from the editors, or electronically from the TEI-L file server at the University of Illinois at Chicago. To retrieve the electronic copy, set this message to LISTSERV @ UICVM (from Bitnet) or (from Internet) to LISTSERV @ UICVM.UIC.EDU: get teia0 script tei-l To get a specific file from the file server, send the message GET filename filetype TEI-L to LISTSERV @ UICVM, substituting the appropriate file name (usually the filename is the document number minus "TEI") and file type (usually SCRIPT, but occasionally TEX for files in TeX or LaTeX form). To get a list of all the files available from the fileserver, send the message get tei-l filelist to LISTSERV @ UICVM. 1. Working Committees and Work Groups There are four working committees: Committee on Text Documentation Committee on Text Representation Committee on Text Analysis and Interpretation Committee on Metalanguage and Syntax Issues These committees will develop substantive analyses of the requirements of their areas of responsibility, then render these analyses into sets of "tags" to be combined into "tag sets" in accordance with ISO 8879: Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). 2. Committee on TEXT DOCUMENTATION Makes tags for identifying the source (copy text) of an electronic text, tags for bibliographic identification of the electronic version itself, and other text-level labeling. Also appearing in the header or prolog of the text will be any declarations required by the work of the other committees. Head: C. M. Sperberg-McQueen Computer Center (M/C 135), University of Illinois at Chicago, Box 6998, Chicago IL 60680, U.S.A., (+1 312) 996-2981 U35395 @ UICVM or U35395 @ UICVM.UIC.EDU N.B. in telephone numbers given here, the country code (marked '+') and area code are given in parentheses, followed by the local number.

Committee on TEXT REPRESENTATION Makes tags for representing texts and textual features for which typographic or manuscript conventions exist. This includes both physical description of the text carrier and logical description of the text structure expressed by the layout, typography, rubrication, or other physical characteristics of the text carrier. First targets: logical description of common text types, alphabetic languages (notably those of the EEC, Hebrew).

Committee on TEXT ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION Makes tags for information of interest to research but for which no specific typographic or manuscript conventions are well established, typically derived or interpretive information. First target: linguistic tagging at sub-sentential level. Head: D.
