TEI in LMNL: Implications for Modeling

LMNL (the Layered Markup and Annotation Language) is a small, if ambitious, research project in text encoding. Unlike XML, LMNL markup does not represent document components or constituents (as “elements”) within a structure, but rather simply labels ranges of text within the document for identification and processing. Avoiding choices between structures, any and all structures can be elucidated; this reveals not only new capabilities for the digital processing of humanities texts—simultaneously building on TEI and extending it to new uses—but also something about the way our tools condition our view of our objects of study. This paper presents LMNL and suggests some of its strengths in the context of TEI

A database approach to information retrieval:The remarkable relationship between language models and region models

In this report, we unify two quite distinct approaches to information retrieval: region models and language models. Region models were developed for structured document retrieval. They provide a well-defined behaviour as well as a simple query language that allows application developers to rapidly develop applications. Language models are particularly useful to reason about the ranking of search results, and for developing new ranking approaches. The unified model allows application developers to define complex language modeling approaches as logical queries on a textual database. We show a remarkable one-to-one relationship between region queries and the language models they represent for a wide variety of applications: simple ad-hoc search, cross-language retrieval, video retrieval, and web search

Human Resources in the South: Rural Sociology in the 1990s

This article focuses on the problem of human resources in the South during the 1980s. The author contends that the problem is especially critical in the rural South, where the impacts of widespread rural economic stress in the eighties contributed to further underdevelopment of already limited human resources. Educationally, the South not only lags other regions, but the rural South lags the urban South. Furthermore, a wide gap exists in the educational attainment of southern rural blacks and whites. It is argued that the development of an adequate human resources base in the rural South begins with building initiative and capacity at the local level to enable each community to assess its own human resource problems and initiate ways to address them. The challenge for rural leaders is to devise a mix of strategies that balance economic and human goals. Strategies for human resource development in the 1990s involving local, state, and federal governments and the role of rural sociologists are discussed

Freestyle Markup Language: Spezifikation einer polyhierarchischen Auszeichnungssprache

This paper provides a new generation of a markup language by introducing the Freestyle Markup Language (FML). Demands placed on the language are elaborated, a grammatical definition and a corresponding object graph are presented and a reference implementation is introduced. The result of this paper is a complete specification of FML. Today, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) is broadly accepted as a standardized serialization format and universal transfer syntax. XML allows the markup of content according to the well-formedness constraints ('properly nested') only in strict mono-hierarchical structures markup in non-hierarchical or multi-hierarchical structures is not inherently provided in the language: This deficit is sufficiently commented and represents a problem for many application scenarios. Moreover, further restrictions exist that complicate an unlimited use of XML in practice and prohibit an intuitive 'freestyle' markup. The fact that markup languages are not only used in the original sense in the typographic field but mostly and increasingly for any data structures confirms the necessity to further develop present markup standards, in analogy to the evolution of data structures from lists via table relations and trees up to graphs. The descriptive markup language FML consolidates deficit discourses, discussions as well as solution approaches and will offer a 'freestyle markup' beyond purely hierarchical structures
