      Machine Readable Texts.  Edited by C. Michael Sperberg-McQueen
      and Lou Burnard.  TEI-P1, Version 1.1  October 1990.  xx + 289
      pages.  This volume represents the results of work in Phase I of
      the International Text Encoding Initiative, sponsored by
      ACH/ACL/ALLC and several advisory associations.  The publication
      describes and illustrates mechanisms (some experimental) for
      SGML markup of many kinds of documents, especially for
      humanities fields (literary, linguistic, historical,
      philosophical studies).  The TEI encoding standard is an SGML
      application.  Contact the editors: in the US, Michael Sperberg-

      Publishers (New Brunswick, NJ), 1991.  xv +167 pages.  ISBN: 0-
      88738-945-7.  ISSN: 1041-5653.   An earlier form of the document
      was published simply as: the Standard for Electronic Manuscript
      Preparation and Markup. (ANSI/NISO Z39.59-1988). 1987, 1988.
      This document was developed over several years as the "AAP
      Standard," was later promoted to by EPSIG/AAP as "the Electronic
      Manuscript Standard" or simply as the "Standard," and is now a
      NISO publication.  The AAP/EPSIG application is SGML-conforming,
      and provides a suggested tagset for authors and publishers.  The
      standard is said to "represent the first industry wide
      application of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language, ISO
      8879). The standard defines the format syntax of the application
      of SGML publication of books and journals.  The standard
      achieves two goals. First, it establishes a standard way to
      identify and tag parts of an electronic manuscript so that
      computers can distinguish between these parts.  Second, it
      provides a logical way to represent special characters, symbols,
      and tabulator material, using only the ASCII character set
      usually found on a standard keyboard."  The standard is
      available for $75 (75 US dollars) from Transaction Publishers,

      Abstract:  These guidelines are for authors of scholarly
      publications who wish to prepare documents for a publisher on
      existing text entry devices, word processors and personal
      computers, adding markup to the text in accordance with the
      Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).  A simple approach
      is adopted, based on the concept of a starter set of tags.  An
      explanation of SGML is given and why markup should be used, and
      advice provided on what is to be done if the author has a
      publisher, has not yet got a publisher, or is his or her own
      publisher.  As far as the preparation of the document is
      concerned, there is advice on keying conventions, when not to
      use stylistic and formatting characteristics of the system, and
      conditions under which its features and facilities may be used.
      The starter set of tags is explained, and how to deal with
      lists, tables, and figures.  Cross referencing is addressed and
      the preparation of an index -- all with examples.  Information
      is given on how to extend the starter set and how to cope with
      text the author may not be able to markup for any reason.  How
      to deal with characters for printing, that cannot be imaged on
      the text entry device, is explained, also how to use
      abbreviations for lengthy character strings of a repetitive
      nature.  For all other issues, the author is referred to the
      publisher, to the companion 'Guidelines for Editors and
      Publishers', and to the standard itself.

      Librarie, 1989.  ISBN: 2-7654 0420-8.  This volume was prepared
      to assist French publishers with application of the SGML
      standard. It supplies a basic DTD, and additional materials are
      available (including electronic files) for extending the DTD.
      The book is said to be the first volume in a series

      Intentions?" [TAG] 10 (July 1989) 11; or "French Book DTD
      Available," [TAG] 9 (March/April 1989) 15.  The book is similar
      in purpose to the American (EPSIG/AAP) volume "Standard for
      Electronic Manuscript Preparation and Markup" published by NISO,
      [53], and to the British volumes written by Joan Smith: [59] and
      [60].  Whereas the EPSIG/AAP standard for electronic publishing
      defined some 220 tags, Vignaud's DTD deliberately defines only
      60 tags.
