Day one: The ODD language changes (study example files, ChangeLog, TD chapter of Guidelines) links to Docbook (study XML Europe 2004 paper)

Day two schema generation (study ) and Roma (study ) documentation generation documentation/markup of extensions (study examples for TEI Lite and Lampeter project) how to use equiv (eg in relation to ISO FS) internationalization layer (where? in Odds? separately?) future strategy for bases vs modules

Home work: Look at examples of tagdocs, and examine the use of the equiv element. Is this suitable for the internationalisation? if not, what is the best place to record that material? At what stage in the processing should it be implemented? Is the overall processing model of the TEI and the ODD language sufficently revealed? The tension between literate programming and unnecessary wrapping of schema constructs. Is the ODD language useable for reading and writing by people who are not TEI editors? The semantics and syntax of equiv. How do we use it it in practice for the ISO link? how would we maintain the correlations? do we have use cases of when it would be needed? Documenting the ODD language. Overview of new chapters (CE, FS, MS) to check that the new ODD language is expresssive enough for known future needs Consider the ODD philosophy again. Is the new language too dependent on RelaxNG, as the old was on DTD are we abstract enough? Look at naming. Do we have a flexible enough system to co-exist with Docbook? Consider how Roma can include partial documentation How to document extensions Is the new ODD language consistent and elegant ? are the tag names, attribute names etc right? are the DTDs and Schemas actually _right_?
