We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.

These are all MoEML team members since 1999 to present. To see the current members and structure of our team, see <ref target="team.xml">Team</ref>.

Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Research team head A person who directed or managed a research project. MoEML uses the terms research term head and assistant project manager interchangeably.

In my previous blog post, I proposed a model TEI-XML tree for encoding and geocoding bibliographic datasets. In the conclusion of that piece, I suggested that, in order to implement such a model, print historians must pool their resources and expertise through collaborative data mining and sharing. O...

2015-12-08Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: 2. Filling the Space in Bibliographies

In my previous blog post, I discussed the need for geocoded bibliographic databases in print culture studies and the enormous value of the spatial queries that such databases would enable. What would such a database look like? How might programmers and encoders design a database that dynamically links data points about material books and stationers with spatial variables?...

2015-12-04Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: 1. Theory without Practice

The following blog post identifies a disjunction in how the geohumanities spatial turn has influenced theoretical literature in print culture studies as compared to practical, bibliographic datasets. First, I provide an overview of recent literature in print culture studies and geography, noting an i...

2015-11-25Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: Introduction

In summer 2014, I took a directed studies course with Janelle Jenstad, focusing on the use of historical GIS as a tool for analyzing the spatial distribution and interaction of the early modern London book trade. The course combined curriculum from Ian Gregory’s Geographical Information Systems i...

2015-03-20Paint over Print Conference

Conference Information Paint over Print: Hand-Colored Books and Maps of the Early Modern Period took place on 19 and 20 February, 2015, at the University of Pennsylvania. The conference brought together scholars to consider different aspects of hand-colored books and printed maps from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries: the materials and techniques used; the aesthetics of hand coloring...

2014-10-05CodeSharing: A Simple API for Disseminating our TEI Encoding

Introduction Although the TEI Guidelines are full of helpful examples, and other initiatives such as TEI By Example have made great progress in providing more access to samples of text-encoding to help beginners get started, there is no doubt that one of the biggest obstacles to encoders at many levels is finding out how other scholars and projects have chosen ...

2014-07-24Marking Up Stow’s Survey of London

When I first began working with John Stow’s Survey of London sometime in the summer of 2012, I had no clue what I was getting into. I’m not sure I had even heard of Stow before being assigned the task of performing TEI markup on his text. Only a few short weeks later, though, I was so immer...

Do we want a blog? asked RA Zaqir Virani after taking on our social media responsibilities in Summer 2013. Programmer Martin Holmes, always sensitive to the last updated ISO date on any webpage, pointed out that we’d let our News page languish in the past. We’d have to commit to posting regula...

26 August, 2013 Encoding as WYSIWYG Production As a musician, encoding never seemed like it would be in my wheelhouse. I suppose the nature of the beast gets obscured by the myth—if I pictured mark-up code, I did not see the reality, but instead the lines of binary from Swordfish or The Matrix. It...

2013-09-11Encoding an Underground Text in the Underground

As John Stow’s Survey of London (in all its editions) is traditionally a text to reference, not to work on exclusively, I’ve enjoyed encoding this early modern cult classic in a basement computing lab—an underground text in the underground. The HCMC is not all dark and gloomy, of course, but a basement is a baseme...
