John A. Walsh is an associate professor in the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University, where he teaches and conducts research in the areas of digital humanities and digital libraries. His research focuses on electronic textuality and the nature of the document in the digital age. He explores the evolution of the document, the book, and the literary text--both born-digital new media texts and digital representations of written and printed texts. Digital environments and tools offer possibilities for new representations of texts, new readings, and new strategies and habits of reading as documents evolve from more or less static and fixed texts to fluid and malleable data. As part of exploring these transformational developments in textuality, Walsh studies the application of metadata and semantic web technologies to facilitate new forms of close, distant, and social reading and interpretation. In addition to his research activities, Walsh has over ten years experience as a developer, manager, and librarian working on digital scholarly projects. Current research projects include The Swinburne Project, The Chymistry of Isaac Newton , and Comic Book Markup Language.

Syd Bauman is the Senior XML Programmer/Analyst for the Digital Scholarship Group at Northeastern University and serves on the TEI Technical Council. Although technically neither a humanist nor a computer scientist, he has been working at the intersection of these two fields for over a third of a century. He has been working with formal schema languages since 1993 (starting with the SGML DTD language), and on a formal schema language (TEI P5 ODD) since 2004. His favorite schema languages are Schematron and RELAX NG, although he is quick to point out that TEI ODD provides for dramatically better documentation of the markup language being defined.
