@tillgrallert identifies minimal computing principles as a way to counter issues such as linguistic imperialism -- but as means to an end: minimal computing as _meaningful_ computing #teimec23

Searching through transliterated text is equally frustrating giving the variety of standards combined with uneven "normalization" to ASCII for indexing. #teimec23

.@tillgrallert explains how there are 32 possible Unicode combinations for writing "Meccan" -- they all look the same to human eyes, but they don't coincide for computers! Searching becomes challenging or impossible. It often depends on the keyboard you have in front of you #teimec23

.@jamescummings has been teaching TEI starting with the "abstract model" and by directing students to https://roma.tei-c.org/ _first_. Someone from the audience highlights how this can help non-English speakers to learn about how the TEI works, before digging into the more intimidating English-only Guidelines chapters #teimec23

Relatedly, Kiyonori Nagasaki points out the need for publishing a _print_ book introduction to the TEI was a necessary step to gain recognition of TEI in the wider Japanese speaking academia #teimec23

Gimena del Rio points out how the problem of multilingualism in global academia and pedagogy must be approached from both a global (shared practices) and a local perspective. There's no single solution #teimec23

The poster slam at #teimec23 is super fun this year -- Syd Bauman would be proud! There were songs, a comedy sketch, poetry, and impromptu group photos :)

@MinisterratCis our poster for our Neigungsgruppe https://protokolleditionen.eu is printed and exhibited at #teimec2023 #teimec23

That is: October 7–11, 2024

YAY!! Joey Takeda and @toroe are joining the TEI council! #teimec23

MEI 5 is out

@toroe et al talking about Music-Text interlinking make me want to see the TEI Music SIG revived... Lots of interesting questions re: the way in which text and music interact in music theory writings #teimec23

Mark Saccomano et al: Since encoding music is laborious, what about encoding _only_ the part necessary to address a specific research Q? Discusses methods for progressive encoding in MEI. #teimec23

Anna Kijas (@annakijas) opens the "Encoding Cultures" conference with a keynote about Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (sucho.org).
"Only open culture is safe culture" -- digitization and open access should not be luxuries. The war in Ukraine is a stark reminder that Cultural Heritage can be lost any time. #teimec23
