W. H. Auden (1907-1973), a prominent figure in the English-language literary landscape of the twentieth century.

The poster shows all aggregates required to realize our user-controlled realization of “Die Kunst der Fuge”, with commens pointing out their specialities. All are arranged by the three distinct conceptual layers “Model”, “Meta-Model”, and “Meta-Meta-Model”. These assignments are possibly surprising.

Encoding right-to-left script in TEI-XML is a hassle unless one uses an editor that hides away the tags. The problem arises when element names in Latin script interrupt the right-to-left rendering on the editor screen by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. (Davis et al. 2022) However, hiding the tags is not the only solution. With <altIdent> TEI…[Read more]

The XPointer framework is one of those W3C notions that is dead today. Same with the TEI XPointer schemes. The cause of dead is manifold and ranges from a lack of implementations to weaknesses of the specification: It is unclear, what a processor is to do with the pointers, that actually only point to a portion of a resource. As a consequence,…[Read more]

In this contribution, we show some features of the BDC digital scholarly edition along with some strategies implemented to automate, wherever possible, the process of textual encoding, analysis and normalisation, as well as some perspectives on the work in progress concerning the encoding of epistolary-related music materials in…[Read more]

In this presentation, we reflect on our experiences working on two contrasting manuscripts in an institutional environment where TEI has little uptake.

“Applied Text as Graph” is a structured way to handle and analyze text by turning it into an interconnected graph. In this approach, every individual character in a block of text is represented by a “character node” (orange in the next figure). These nodes are connected in sequence, highlighting the linear arrangement of the text. Each block of…[Read more]
