Born digital. Remediated from a student contract written by Janelle Jenstad in 2018.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Author A person or organization chiefly responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a work, usually printed text. This term may also be used when more than one person or body bears such responsibility. MoEML uses the term author to designate a contributor who is wholly or partly responsible for the original content of either a born-digital document, such as an encyclopedia entry, or a primary source document, such as a MoEML Library text. Markup editor A person or organization performing the coding of SGML, HTML, or XML markup of metadata, text, etc. MoEML uses the code mrk both for the primary encoder(s) and for the person who edits the encoding. MoEML’s normal workflow includes a step whereby encoders check each other’s work. We use the term encoder to designate the principal encoder, and markup editor to designate the person who checks the encoding. Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Project manager MoEML uses the term Project Manager for a person who handles the administration for the project.

Your rights

MoEML is committed to following the Collaborators’ Bill of Rights and the Student Collaborators’ Bill of Rights. I will work with you to ensure that your contributions to MoEML are acknowledged in ways that work for you as well as the project. We enter into this contract on the understanding that you will likely identify areas of the project of particular interest to you, and that MoEML will be flexible in accommodating your need for further training and your desire to reframe your responsibilities as your skills develop. MoEML’s success is built on the contributions of many commited team members, and I fully anticipate that you will change MoEML for the better with the skills and ideas you bring to the project.

Keep records of your research in your working_files folder. Record your hours and activities regularly and accurately in the spreadsheet provided by MoEML in your working_files folder. Keep MoEML passwords and user ids confidential. Seek help early and often.A question unasked is an opportunity lost. Bring forward suggestions and observations that might improve MoEML and/or team practices. Teach other team members when they need the skills and knowledge that you have acquired.
