  1. Encoding the Document,Encoding the Process Elena Pierazzo Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King’s College London elena.pierazzo@kcl.ac.uk

  2. Are Modern Manuscripts the same of Medieval Manuscripts? • They have different functions: private/note taking vs. “publication”, public circulation (most of the time) • They look different: unplanned vs. planned writing • Modern Ms. contain a mixture of text and other stuff which phenomenology is not always easy to re-conduct to medieval manuscripts (or so we thought) • They can be organised in sequences of drafts • Does TEI provide enough support for Modern manuscripts?

  3. The beginning • The idea was firstly raised on the TEI MS SIG first meeting: Nancy 2003 • The issue was arisen again with high priority in the MS SIG Agenda in 2007 P5 official release • Working group within MS SIG in November 2008 (London, TEI MM)

  4. The Working Group • Fotis Jannidis (chair) • Elena Pierazzo • Malte Rehbein • + Lou Burnard • (Paolo D’Iorio) & • Gregor Middell • Moritz Wissenbach

  5. The Workshop • Sponsored by ALLC, ACH, TEI, Moore Institute • Paris, ENS – ITEM, 14-15 May 2009 • Experts on Genetic Editions, not necessarily on Digital Editions • Invited experts: Anne Bohnenkamp, John Bryant, Aurèle Crasson, Jean-Daniel Fekete, Daniel Ferrer, Hans Walter Gabler, Axel Gellhaus, Almuth Grésillon, Claus Huitfeldt, Dirk van Hulle, Jean-Louis Lebrave, Wolfgang Lukas, Kenneth M. Price, Kathryn Sutherland

  6. Road map • Officially presented at the TEI Members’ Meeting in Ann Arbor (Michigan) 2009 • Beta test open, up to end of January 2010 • February/March 2010: revision • April 2010: submission to the TEI council as a formal proposal  Accepted in principle • November 2010: Workshop and testing at TEI Members’ Meeting in Zadar

  7. Documents or Texts?

  8. In the editorial process it is impossible not to consider them both… Documents and TextsYing and Yang, Body and Soul

  9. Genesis of what? • Documents? (tears, cuts, patches, stitches…) • Texts? (corrections, revisions, additions, deletions, transpositions?) Both, of course!

  10. Three parts • Documents Encoding • Transcription Enhancement • Genetic encoding

  11. TEI provides a way to encode TEXTS, but sometimes • The process to make the document is at least as important as the text that it contains • The text can be determined by the document • The text is graphically presented • There is no text: non-linear texts are non-texts (Ferrer)

  12. Where is the text?

  13. Are Modern Manuscript the same of Medieval Manuscript? • Not really…

  14. <ge:document> • a sibling of <text> and <facsimile> • represents the physical structure of a document, in terms of written <surface>s, and <zone>s of writing. • a new <ge:line> element is needed to represent topographic lines • a new <ge:patch> element is needed to represent fragmentary surfaces

  15. <ge:document><surface ulx="0" uly="0" lrx="200" lry="300"><zone ulx="10" uly="43" lrx="185" lry="84" rotate="0"><zone><ge:line rend="right"> 1 April 2009 </ge:line></zone><ge:line>Fed Birds in the park today.</ge:line><ge:line>Might write an article about </ge:line><ge:line>the Thick-billed Warbler. </ge:line></zone><zone ulx="9" uly="20" lrx="70" lry="60" rotate="90"><ge:line>Samaria is a Greek </ge:line><ge:line>brand of water that</ge:line><ge:line>comes from the natural</ge:line><ge:line>springs of Stilos, in </ge:line><ge:line>Crete </ge:line></zone></surface></ge:document> <text><body><div type="diary-entry"><dateline><date value="2009-04-01"> 1 April 2009 </date></dateline><p><lb/>Fed Birds in the park today.<lb/> Might write an article about <lb/> the Thick-billed Warbler. </p></div><div type="note" rend="rotated"><p><lb/>Samaria is a Greek <lb/> brand of water that <lb/> comes from thenatural <lb/> springs of Stilos, in <lb/> Crete</p></div></body></text>

  19. Exercise 1: Jane Austen • Go to www.janeausten.ac.uk • Select Manuscripts • Select Volume the First – Text • From the dropdown menu select page 1

  20. New Transcriptional Features • <ge:metamark> : markup already present in the document • <ge:rewrite> : clarification or fixation • <ge:used>: marked as used elsewhere • <ge:undo>: a cancelled revision • <ge:redo> • <ge:transpose> & <ge:transposeGrp> • <ge:mod>: generic element for modifications

  30. Genesis • Genesis within the same document • Genesis across documents • The passage from correction within a document to another document can happen at anytime and it is not a one way process

  34. Let’s start by grouping! <teiCorpus><teiHeader><!-- information about the dossier --></teiHeader><xi:include href="document1.xml"/><xi:include href="document2.xml"/><xi:include href="document3.xml"/></teiCorpus>

  35. Then let’s organise our group <graph type="directed"><node xml:id="A" value="http://edition.net/witness/A"><label>A</label></node><node xml:id="B" value="http://edition.net/witness/B"><label>B</label></node><!-- more nodes --><arc xml:id="AC" from="#A" to="#C" value="http://edition.net/genetic/analysis#ac"/><arc xml:id="BC" from="#B" to="#C" value="http://edition.net/genetic/analysis#bc"/><!-- more arcs --></graph>
