The Program Committee of the 2011 Annual Meeting of
the Text Encoding
Initiative (TEI - www.tei-c.org) Consortium invites individual paper proposals, panel
sessions, poster sessions, and tool demonstrations
particularly, but
not exclusively, on digital texts, scholarly editing
or any topic
that applies TEI to its research.
Submission Topics
Topics might include but are not restricted to:
- TEI and scholarly editing
- TEI and textual criticism
- TEI and
the evolution of digital philology
- TEI and text corpora
- The
relation between representation (encoded text) and presentation
(visualisation, user-interface)
- TEI
encoded data in the context of quantitative text analysis
- Integrating
the TEI with other technologies and standards
- TEI as metadata standard
- TEI as
interchange format: sharing, mapping, and migrating data (in particular in
relation to other formats or software environments)
In addition, we are seeking proposals for 5
minute micropaper presentations focused on experiences with the TEI guidelines
gained from running projects and discussing one specific feature.
Submission Types
Individual paper presentations will be allocated 30
minutes: 20
minutes for delivery, and 10 minutes for questions
& answers.
Submission should be made in the form of an abstract
of 750-1500
words (plus bibliography).
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: 5-8 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 presenter is
expected 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, 2011 (please check on the conference website
for the availability of conftool).
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 proposals
(including tool demonstrations): Supporting materials (including graphics,
multimedia, etc., or even a copy of the complete paper) may be uploaded after
the initial abstract is submitted.
* Micropaper: The procedure is the same
as for an individual paper, however the abstract should be no more than 500
words. Please be sure the abstract mentions the feature to be presented!
* Panel sessions (three paper panels):
The panel organizer submits a proposal for the entire session, containing a
500-word introduction explaining the overarching theme and rationale for the
inclusion of the papers, together with a 750-1500 words section for each panel
member.
* Panel sessions (round table discussion): The
panel organizer submits a proposal of 750-1500 words describing the rationale for
the discussion and includes the list of panelists. Panelists need to be
contacted by the panel organizer and have expressed their willingness in
participation before submission.
All proposals will be reviewed by the program
committee and selected external reviewers.

outside the meeting session tracks should contact the meeting organizers at
