Literary Prose Work Group
Objectives and Deadlines
TEI TR12 P1
2 August 1991
Table of Contents
- Reformulate this list of objectives.
- Summarize and report on the structural and formal features most
useful for the encoding of literary prose of all kinds. Features
discussed should include but need not be limited to formal aspects such
as genre identification and structure.
- Consider and report on a representative range of purely
interpretive characteristics such as metaphor, rhetorical tropes etc.
which have been found of general usefulness in the literature.
- Consider and report on ways of identifying narrative structures
within prose texts
- Draft modifications to the current draft Guidelines showing how
existing tags may be appropriately used to encode such features (or a
representative subset of them).
- Draft additional sections for the Guidelines defining whatever
additional tags and attributes are necessary for the encoding of such
features, wherever tags defined in the current draft do not suffice.
- Liaise closely with other workgroups working in related areas,
notably TR10 (verse) and TR11 (performance texts).
Work group reports to Committee for Text Representation.
Head of the work group is Tom Corns. Other proposed members are Donald
Ross, Christian Delcourt and Paul Fortier.

Any reformulation of objectives should be made before 1 September
1991.
