Introduction and Background (Hugh Cayless)
DTS APIs and implementations (Thibault Clérice)
CTS Handles (Bridget Almas), slides

Morning discussion cont'd.
Discussion: Citation Modeling
- What use cases do we want to support?
- What are the existing ontologies? What are their limits from our perspective?
- Relationship between our model of text and CTS/DTS APIs
- What can be done automatically (e.g. by API crawling) and what must be done manually (curation)?
