problem with citing URN : impermanence. problem with citing print original: accessability (& dishonesty). So cite both. #eebotcp

Scope reduced by excluding everything not in English and not epistolary (i.e. English letters of Thomas Bodley) #eebotcp

Dugdale's Warwickshire (1666) is TCP A36791 (Wing D2479). #eebotcp

TCP must always choose whether to align affordances with those available to the printer (e.g. does SORT = GLYPH = character?) #eebotcp

Often TCP does, but more often steps behind printer to the underlying intended text, not the book, captures character not sort. #eebotcp

issues dear to my heart: 'tagging the silences'; encoding uncertainty ambiguity & sheer ignorance; and misalignment of affordances #eebotcp

Q: what does 'preservation' mean applied to an intrinsically malleable thing like transcribed text? Stasis is not preservation. #eebotcp

Headers supplied with TCP texts are now ca. 99% TEI-header compliant, though based on underlying (ProQuest) MARC catalogue records #eebotcp

Ca. 95% of EEBO-TCP texts are now associated with an ESTC number, sometimes several, not always accurately, based on existing maps #eebotcp

Most TCP money goes toward producing (keying and editing) more texts, since it is texts that TCP promised its funders. #eebotcp

In future TCP will mark those LIST elements that (attempt to) represent genealogical trees. But that leaves 372,000 unmarked LISTs #eebotcp

Transcription q's (upside-down & missing letters, ambiguous punctuation, spacing) posed by @nonsanzmustarde TCP had to answer too. #eebotcp

Council expenses are partly defrayed by home institutions (eg Michigan pays $5k as 'partner', but also $1500+ in travel) #TEIConf2014

Does mere long-term *storage* qualify as preservation of TEI-encoded text? #TEIChat
