Rather, I plan to contribute to an ongoing discussion of ways in which TEI can address this concern among users. Given the nature of this topic, I do not presume to offer a definitive answer for how TEI should address issues of race. I will discuss the reason for racial markup in each of these projects and the ways in which each accounts for race. I will go on to discuss projects that have incorporated racial markup, including work on 19th century African-American newspapers and American Civil Rights era texts as well as my own work on Seeta, a nineteenth-century novel, set in India, by Philip Meadows Taylor. ,, and ) along with the ways in which Critical Race Studies factors into this argument. I will support this argument with a discussion of current relevant TEI tags (i.e. I will then discuss the ways in which TEI suggests the inclusion of racial mark-up. I will begin by articulating the current concerns regarding race, cultural criticism, and the Digital Humanities. In this paper, I will discuss the need for the development of a methodology for marking race. Most notably, concerns raised about issues of race, gender, and diversity within the Digital Humanities and the existence of digital projects focused on race relying on TEI markup bring this issue to the forefront. While this concern may not seem pressing within the context of TEI, aspects of the current academic environment call this issue into question. This talk will be of interest to scholarly editors and digital librarians who hope to maximize search capabilities across texts and databases.Īs TEI standards continue to evolve, one element that is not entirely accounted for is the markup of race and the intricacies such markup would involve, despite the provision for numerous comparable elements. We will discuss similarities and differences between MADS and TEI and conclude by providing a conceptual mapping from TEI to MADS. In our micropaper, we will briefly introduce MADS, with an emphasis on the elements, ,, and. 347 B.C.)įinally, the records are controlled by identifiers and classifications: His mother was Perictone who belonged to the highlyĮsteemed family of Solon, the early Greek philosopher he died 347 B.C.)Įncyclopedia Britannica (Plato b.

The bulk of the MADS record is a compilation of name variants: ![]() For example, here is an excerpt from the existing MADS record for Plato. The schema is designed for both flexibility and standardization. The MADS record is designed with three key features: 1) a unique identifier 2) an unlimited number of variants and 3) detailed source records and notes. Since 2006, The Library of Congress has adopted its Metadata Authority Description Standard (MADS) as a new XML format for canonical information about persons and places. In 2006, the Personography Working Group was tasked with “investigat how other existing XML schemes and TEI customizations handle data about people, both to facilitate ‘cross-walking’ between these different schemata and to provide recommendations about how personography is handled in TEI P5.” The report and recommendations were completed later that year. How should scholarly editors markup textual references to real people and places? How can editors and cataloguers identify common references across different texts, databases, and description standards?
