Exhibit A to Partnership Agreement

Overview:
The basic goal of the EEBO Text Creation Partnership is to develop an online, searchable, electronic resource, specifically, an online version of text from early English language books (published between 1473 and 1700). The resource will be developed using the Early English Books Online (EEBO), a commercial product owned Bell and Howell. Using the EEBO Images page images, the entire text of each book will be keyboarded to create SGML/XML compliant text files. The University of Michigan and Oxford University will collaborate to set standards for the text creation, manage quality control, develop an interface for the text product, and host the electronic text files and their links to corresponding EEBO Images. The Council on Library and Information Resources will be retained as a subcontractor to manage the finances of the project (including collection of funds from the Partnering Institutions and disbursement of funds as directed), support promotion of the project, and serve as a secretariat to the EEBO-TCP Advisory Board by arranging for meetings, issuing reports, and arranging for legal and fiscal counsel as required by the project.

Partnering Institutions will receive access to the EEBO-TCP text editions as well as certain specified rights to the final version of the text file in exchange for a fee as described in their Partnership Agreement

Standards:
EEBO-TCP seeks to create digital text editions to the following standards:

Keyboarding accurate at the 99.995 level Standard Generalized Mark-up Language (SGML) compliant Generally consistent with the guidelines of the TEI Consortium Embedded links to corresponding page images Quality control checks on all works for accuracy of keyboarding and parsing of SGML tags.

Advisory Board
Michigan has invited representatives of some of the Partnering Institutions, ProQuest, Oxford and CLIR to participate on an Advisory Board chaired by t he Director of Libraries at Michigan. The Advisory Board provides input into the fiscal management, development, use, standards for, distribution and marketing of the EEBO- TCP project. The Advisory Board meets as necessitated by issues arising. CLIR supports the advising role of the Board through the production of financial reports, hosting meetings, and generally facilitating the work of the group through clerical and other support. Michigan has established a project website at http://www.lib.umich.edu/tcp/eebo and provides periodic updates on the deliberation of the Advisory Board and the progress of the project.
