Das IDE in der TEI: ❤ ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

TEI-LogoDas IDE ist schon lange aktiver Teil der TEI-Community: Auf den IDE-Schools werden die Richtlinien vermittelt, TEI wird in den Projekten der Mitglieder eingesetzt, Beiträge zur TEI-L tragen zur Weiterentwicklung bei. Mit der letzten Wahl ist das IDE nun auch mit zwei offiziellen Positionen dabei: im Council wird Martina Scholger und im Board Georg Vogeler sich um technische und organisatorische Belange der größten DH-Community kümmern. Die Grazer Kollegen richten auch die TEI-Konferenz im Jahr 2019 aus. Die übrigen – „inoffiziellen“ – TEI-Vertreter aus dem IDE werden aber nicht nachlassen, in den offenen Strukturen der TEI an der Weiterentwicklung des wichtigsten Standards in der Dokumentologie und Editorik mitzuwirken.

Nachtrag: Martina Scholger wird ab 2018 außerdem den Vorsitz im Technical Council übernehmen.

RIDE prize awarded!

Thanks to a generous contribution of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Graz, the IDE is pleased to announce the first award for the best review published in RIDE, worth 250€.

The prize committee – Evelyn Gius from Hamburg University, Malte Rehbein from Passau University, Georg Vogeler from Graz University and Philipp Steinkrüger from Ruhr-University Bochum – have decided to award the prize to Mats Dahlström (University of Borås) and Wout Dillen (University of Antwerp) for their outstanding review of Litteraturbanken.

The review is an elegantly written text which not only provides all information required for the reader to familiarize themselves with the reviewed project, but which also engages in reflections on methodology, on the selection of texts, and on the question which type of text collection Litteraturbanken instantiates. The authors prove their expertise in the field, praising the project where it excels and criticising it where it falls short; it is to be expected that their suggestions of how to improve this already outstanding project will not fall on deaf ears.

Criteria for Reviewing Digital Text Collections

The IDE has developed a catalogue of Criteria for Reviewing Digital Text Collections as a framework for the description and evaluation of digital text data sets. General criteria from the previous Criteria for Reviewing Scholarly Digital Editions have been integrated into the new catalogue. In addition, new criteria have been added that apply to digital text collections. The term ‘text collection’ is used in a broad sense to include all kinds of text data sets from a variety of disciplines, as, for example, linguistic corpora and digital archives.

By Jmh2o.

Besides its general purpose, the catalogue has been designed to support the writing of reviews for a special issue of RIDE on Digital Text Collections. More information about the special issue can be found on the RIDE website.
