A Cypro-Aegean EpiDoc Working Group has just been established, chaired by Ester Salgarella, and will meet for the first time in the next couple weeks. Very excited to build on work with Mycenaean and Wingspread, and to engage with many super smart new colleagues.

EpiDoc is the de facto standard for digital encoding of epigraphy, papyrology and other ancient or historical text-bearing objects.
Basically, if your object is as important as your text then EpiDoc may be the flavour of TEI XML for you. (Books, ecclectic editions of manuscripts etc maybe less so.)

EpiDoc is an excellent example of a subset #TEI community. I often use it as an example of a group of people with differing but related interests taking a general framework and making it their own. All projects and groups should customise the TEI.

Every conversation about the minutiae of how we're going to mark things up in an #EpiDoc project goes like this, honestly.
BUT that (if you have time) three bleets back is a serious point: as with all markup projects, you could encode a million things, and time and money are finite. If you need to encode this the simple way, and will never need or use the complex markup, then it's enough.
