Call for Papers: AAASS 1998 SGML Panel

[David J Birnbaum]

Dear SEELANGers,

I am assembling a panel proposal for the 1998 AAASS Convention (24-27
September, Boca Raton) on "SGML and Electronic Texts for Slavistic
Studies." The consolidation of SGML as a standardized encoding system for
electronic text publication and distribution, its greater accessibility
through the new XML proposal, the development of SGML projects in the
humanities and social sciences in coordination with the Text Encoding
Initiative (TEI), and the emergence over the past few years of several
SGML-based projects in Slavic studies all suggest that this year might be
an appropriate time to bring together those who work with SGML-encoded
Slavistic materials and those who might be interested in doing so.

If you would be interested in participating in this panel, please write to
me at djbpitt+ at pitt.edu. (Suggestions for a punchier title are also
welcome.)

Thanks,

David
