Dear colleagues, a bit of time has gone by since the meeting in Munich. During this time I have written down the minutes of the CEI-Meeting on Saturday 3rd of March that I attach to this mail. At the meeting we decided to continue the further development on the data model for encoding charters via this list. Everybody is invited and encouraged to send his ideas and proposals to the list or to me personally. I will keep track of the incoming mails and put your comments into the database of elements at http://www.cei.lmu.de/facetedview.php. At the meeting we built some “aspects”/”facets” of the description of medieval and early modern instruments to keep the overview. After collecting concepts of the description of the chronology of the charters in Munich I would now suggest that we continue the work with an “online-brainstorming” for elements that are necessary to describe the diplomatic discourse (cfr. http://www.cei.lmu.de/facetedview.php?facetID=61). I propose to switch to another facet with beginning June, although I definitively don’t want to exclude any proposal fitting into other facets before that date. Please feel free to make your suggestions in French, Italian or German too. All the best Georg Vogeler
