[Lexicog] TEI members meeting 2010: call for proposals

[Piotr Bański]

Hello List,

Whether dictionaries are holy books or not, they have some internal
structure worth fleshing out, and contain data worth exposing in a
fairly self-descriptive, platform-independent, and persistent format.

Enter the Text Encoding Initiative, a minion of XML, all clad in pointy
brackets... proposing to be a solution. The solution crystallizes once a
year, and this year the nucleation point will be Zadar, a lovely
Croatian town with an energetic university right at the waterfront.

Hoping you will read on,

  Piotr (on behalf of the Program Committee)

================  Call for proposals  ============================

 * Meeting venue: University of Zadar, Croatia
 * Meeting dates: Thu 11 November to Sun 14 November, 2010
 * Workshop dates: Mon 08 November to Wed 10 November, 2010

The Program Committee of the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Text Encoding
Initiative Consortium invites individual paper proposals, panel
sessions, poster sessions, and tool demonstrations particularly, but
not exclusively, on digital texts, language resources and any topic
that applies TEI to its research.

Submission Topics

Topics might include but are not restricted to:

    * TEI and natural language processing
    * TEI and language resources
    * Analyzing and quantifying encoded texts
    * Aggregation and compilation
    * Integrating TEI with other technologies and standards
    * Tools that create and process TEI data
    * TEI used in conjunction with other technologies and standards
    * TEI as:
          o metadata standard
          o interchange format: sharing, mapping, and migrating data

In addition, we are seeking micropaper proposals for 5 minute
presentations on how you applied TEI.

Submission Types

Individual paper presentations will be allocated 30 minutes: 20
minutes for delivery, and 10 minutes for questions & answers.

Panel sessions will be allocated 1.5 hours and may be of varied
formats, including:

    * three paper panels: 3 papers on the same or related topics

    * round table discussion: 3-6 presenters on a single theme. Ample
      time should be left for questions & answers after brief
      presentations.

Posters (including tool demonstrations) will be presented during the
poster session. The local organizer will provide flip charts and
tables for poster session/tool demonstration presenters, along with
wireless internet access. Each poster will have the opportunity to
participate in a slam immediately preceding the poster session.

Micropapers will be allocated 5 minutes.

Submission Procedure

All proposals should be submitted at http://www.tei-c.org/conftool/ by
May 1st, 2010.

You will need to create an account (i.e., username and password) in
order to file a submission. For each submission, you may upload files
to the system after you have completed filling out demographic data
and the abstract.

    * Individual paper or poster session proposals (including tool
demonstrations):

        o Please submit a brief abstract (no more than 500 words) in the
"Abstract" field.

        o Supporting materials (including graphics, multimedia,
          etc., or even a copy of the complete paper) may be uploaded
          after the initial abstract is submitted.

    * Micropaper:

        o The procedure is the same as for an individual paper,
          however the abstract should be no more than 300 words, but
          may be as short as the name of the feature.

        o Please be sure the abstract mentions the feature to be presented!

    * Panel sessions:

        o The panel organizer submits an abstract for the entire
          session, listing the proposed papers, and explaining the
          organizing theme and rationale for the inclusion of the
          papers in no more than 500 words in the "Abstract" field.

        o The panel members each submit a separate complete
          individual paper proposal; see above.

      The program committee reserves the right to accept papers
      submitted as part of a panel without accepting the whole panel.

All proposals will be reviewed by the program committee and selected
external reviewers.

Those interested in holding working paper sessions outside the meeting
session tracks should contact the meeting organizers at
meeting at tei-c.org to schedule a room.

Please send queries to meeting at tei-c.org.

Conference submissions will be considered for conference
proceedings. Further details on the submission process will be
forthcoming.
