Put in a few hours on the chapter over the weekend, and got revisions back from LR this morning for a final pass-through, which I did, and sent it back. I think we're done till we get editorial feedback.

One-hour phone conference of the group preparing an application for an image markup project, preceded by half-an-hour reading through the concept outline and making notes.

Wrote a section on "Creating a new standard", which was partly inspired by SR's recent oddbyexample.xsl tool. Sent it to LR. I've now done three sections, and it's probably a good idea to wait and see what LR has produced, then stand back and look at the overall pattern of the chapter, so we can pull it into shape before filling in the remaining gaps.

Got a "proof" of our DH paper. Looks OK.
Began work on a functional mockup of a video critical edition using Shakespeare plays.

Wrote a draft of a section of the chapter I'm writing with LR. This was about the distinction between authoring and publication versions of schemas -- how they differ, why the differences exist, and whether the distinction is worth the trouble. This forced me to look more closely at NLM and DHQ schemas once again, which is not a bad thing.
Re-read reviews of abstract, assembled suggestions from them and started research based on those suggestions. Specifically on alternate similar projects and on specifics of documents produced by academics as opposed to other types of documents used by academics. Also got guidelines and drafted notes for Greg and me to keep in mind as we assemble the final paper and the presentation to go with it.

Looking at solutions for JW's research needs, took another look at the current state of RefWorks, and the standalone BiblioScape. Both a bit flaky, but I was able to export from RefWorks (eventually, not using Firefox), and import the result into BiblioScape successfully -- although it screwed up the character encoding a bit. We'd have to make sure we're using whatever encoding BiblioScape prefers.
I'm co-writing a document with LR for possible publication in Europe, and we've just started (late) the actual drafting. Produced a few pages this morning.

Finished my review of a grant application and submitted it.

The requirement to do a grant application review sent me out to look at a range of web resources and tools related to the application, and to install and play around with the latest version of Pliny, which seems to work fine in the repo version of Eclipse on my machine, although drag-drop of resources into it seems to be a bit hit-and-miss.
