First Annual Meeting of The TEI Consortium
Pisa, Italy
November 16-17, 2001
The TEI Consortium, a newly formed non-profit membership organization
that continues the efforts of the Text Encoding Initiative, will hold
its first annual meeting November 16 and 17, 2001, in Pisa, Italy.
The keynote address will be provided by former TEI editor Michael
Sperberg-McQueen, who is currently domain leader in the World-Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) Domain Leader, as well as co-chair (with Dave
Hollander) of the W3C XML Coordination Group and the W3C XML Schema
Working Group, and co-editor (with B. Tommie Usdin of Mulberry
Technologies) of _Markup Languages: Theory & Practice_, a
peer-reviewed journal devoted to the design and use of markup
languages, published by MIT Press.
Members and non-members alike are welcome: the first day of this
two-day program will be open to all and will include the keynote
address, technical briefings, and presentations on a variety of
applications of TEI markup (in producing ebooks, web sites, digital
library collections, etc.). The second day will be for members and
subscribers only: there will be a hands-on workshop and a business
meeting that will include a financial report from the Treasurer, two
elections (one for Board members, one for the TEI Council), and a
discussion of work-items for the Council and its appointed
work-groups.
