  1. TEI and Scholarly publishing Laurent Romary INRIA & HUB-ISDL TEI council, chair

  2. Overview • The Text Encoding Initiative • History and main characteristics • Scholarly publishing in the TEI world • Some results from the PEER project • Further actions • Putting NLM and TEI in-line • TEI Symposium 28 April 2010

  3. The Text Encoding Initiative • Initiated in 1987 by major international text centers • Adoption of SGML than XML • Important contributions to the development of XML • Organized as a membership consortium since 2000 • 5 hosts (Virginia, Brown, Oxford, Nancy, Leithbridge) • Board (management) and council (technical content) • Five editions of TEI guidelines (current P5) • Large community of users, continuous maintenance of content, evolution towards additional domains (e.g. manuscript transcription)

  4. Main technical features of the TEI • Modularity • Core modules: header text descriptions; bibliography • Thematic modules: drama; dictionaries; manuscript description • Additional components: time, names and dates; annotations; • Customizability • ODD (one document does it all): specification language of the TEI

  5. TEI customization Selection of modules Drama documentation Modification/deletion Dictionary Names, dates Customization Additions <myElement> schemas User defined objects

  6. Scholarly publishing in the TEI world • Several existing publishing initiatives • TEIJournal • Revues.org • DHQ (Digital Humanities Quaterly) • … • A strategic issue for the TEI • Common framework for Primary sources and publications • Publication as primary sources in the humanities • Continuation of the TEI endeavor to provide reference customizations (TEI Tite for digitization projects) • Creation of a TEI publishing SIG • Strong demand from research libraries and academic publishers (e.g. AAUP) • Maintenance and customization issues related to NLM

  7. The PEER project • Initiated by the EU commission • Objective: impact of systematically archiving stage-two outputs is not clear • on journals and business models • on wider ecology of scientific research • Consortium • STM, European Science Foundation (ESF), Goettingen State and University Library (UGOE), Max Planck Gesellschaft (MPG), INRIA

  8. The PEER deposit workflow Repositories Publishers HAL SUB-Göt PEER Depot MPS … KB Preservation

  9. Mapping formats • Great heterogeneity of format within publishers • Meta data (and full-text) • Proprietary, ScholarOne, NLM 2.0, NLM 3.0 • Various issues • Affiliations • Publication date information • ISO 639 codes (countries) • Bibliographical references • Proprietary metadata fields

  10. Examples • Article title • article-title/title | ArticleTitle | article-title | ce:title | art_title | article_title | nihms-submit/title | ArticleTitle/Title | ChapterTitle • Journal title • j-title | JournalTitle | full_journal_title | jrn_title | journal-title • ISSN (print • JournalPrintISSN | issn[@issn_type='print'] | issn[@pub-type='ppub'] | PrintISSN | issn-paper • First page of a paper • spn | FirstPage | ArticleFirstPage | fpage | first-page

  11. A TEI customization for scholarly publishing • A family of formats based on the TEI customization facilities • Core editing customization (to be further extended – minimal tool support) • Reference customization family for archiving • Can be extended to specific domains: Maths, physics, SVG graphics, etc. • Precise representation of bibliographic information • Specific support through associated tool: • XSLT stylesheets (html, pdf TEI2NLM) • PDF 2 TEI facility (Grobid) • Open Office 2 TEI facilities (maintained at Oxford) • MSWord 2 TEI facilities (TEI project with ISOà

  12. Coordination with the NLM endeavor • Context • Origin of NLM • Quick uptake (BMC) • No standardization strategy • Divergence (cf. PEER) • TEI as a possible background for the maintenance of the NLM “DTD” • ODD specification, maintenance of a family of schemas • Schemas + Documentation available as a TEI customization • Roundtrip transformation with TEI

  13. Invitation • TEI council Symposium • Dublin, 28 April 2010 – Academy of sciences • Defining a strategy for the TEI and priorities for our workplan • Would be great to have input from a Publisher and/or STM
