Vorstellung der Tagung auf deutsch
Summary
In cooperation with the German Committee for editing the Regesta Imperii e.V.
(section Akademie der Wissenschaften Mainz) and the Archivschule Marburg
the chair for Historical Auxiliary Disciplines prepares a workshop that
intends to supply a want of historians, historical linguists, archivists and librarians
for transfering scholarly standards of editing medieval documents and charters
into the digital world. The organizers consider XML as the best solution for this purpose.
Therefore the workshop will discuss a draft basing on existing DTDs (TEI, Codice
diplomatico della Lombardia Medievale, Annegret Fiebig: Urkundentext 2000 etc.).
The intention is to come to a joint proposal of leading european scholars working
with XML-technologies for editing medieval documents to be subsequently enhanced
by the scholarly community.

Mo 14-18 h and Tu 9-13 h: Closed Session, Discussion of a draft of a DTD
Issues to be possibly adressed:
- Elements
- Wich phenomena has to be described?
- How to do that with XML most opportunely?
- Structure
- How to group and organize the elements?
- A DTD for charters between TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) and EAD (Encoded Archival Description): Which elements could be adopted? Could a DTD for charters be integrated in the existing DTDs?
- Research Interests
- Particular requirements for linguistic, historical, diplomatic, archival use.
- Characters and symbols: Unicode or descriptive encoding?
- Resolution
Finally we will resolve a common draft and further issues to be discussed.
Tu 14-15 h: Public Presentation of the Results
