Peter Robinson

Peter Robinson has been involved in Digital Humanities for over thirty years. He drafted the original sections of the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines dealing with the representation of primary texts and critical apparatus, published in the “P3” Guidelines in 1993. The current TEI guidelines chapter dealing with critical apparatus (chapter 12) is still substantially as written by him. He developed “Collate”, a computer-assisted collation program used by major editorial projects up to the present day, though now superseded by CollateX. He is Bateman Professor of English at the University of Saskatchewan, has worked on and published editions in many contexts, and written widely on digital humanities, on textual scholarship, and on the texts of the Canterbury Tales.
