Background – Why Markup Matters Six Problems with the Standard Markup Model Design of a Solution Conclusions and Collaborations The Role of Markup in the Big Picture Markup is the coding of the digital surrogates of textual artefacts Mediates the interaction between the surrogates and the services that use them Has a powerful influence on the interoperability of the services and resources in the repository D.

Background – Why Markup Matters Six Problems with the Standard Markup Model Design of a Solution Conclusions and Collaborations What is the Standard Form of Markup in DH? The Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines Defines standard tags for encoding and converting between text formats 1987: Founded by Nancy Ide, a linguist, during a conference in New York 1993: ‘Guidelines for Text Encoding and Interchange’ published, in SGML 2002: Converted to XML; became ‘de facto standard’ for encoding DH texts D.

Background – Why Markup Matters Six Problems with the Standard Markup Model Design of a Solution Conclusions and Collaborations Problem 1: Size 545 elements makes it hard to find a tag for a particular feature Makes it hard to write software that encompasses all of it Must select a subset of tags for each project, add customisations Leads to incompatibilities between digital surrogates D.
