Just In Time MarkupPublicationsJust In Time Markup(JITM) is an innovative system used for creating different 'perspectives' of electronic texts. It supports conflicting logical and theoretical interpretations of the authenticated transcriptions of the original source documents while allowing for the continual development of additional editorial material for the electronic 'study' of the work without risking the authenticity of the transcriptions. The JITM system was developed and used as part of the Authenticated Electronic Editions Project, an ARC SPIRT grant funded project based at the Australian Scholarly Editions Centre(ASEC). The ASEC is based at the University College, ADFA (UNSW@ADFA) but is made up of a collaborative team of academics across the country including Dr. Graham Barwell at University of Wollongong and Dr. Chris Tiffen at the University of Queensland who were co-researchers for the SPIRT grant. For a brief introduction to the JITM system read the following paper. This paper was presented by Phillip Berrie at the Apple University Consortium Conference in Wollongong Australia in April 2000. For a more recent introduction to the system, which includes information on our refinements and developments, please read the following paper from a presentation to staff at the National Library of Australia, 21 June 2005 by Paul Eggert and Phill Berrie. For further discussion on the benefits of stand-off markup systems like JITM on the long-term archival properties of electronic texts please use the following hyperlink to a paper by Phillip Berrie, which was presented at the Computing Arts 2001 conference in Sydney Australia in September 2001. For papers, which concentrates more on the editorial theory reasoning behind the need for a system like Just In Time Markup, view the following papers presented by team members Dr. Chris Tiffin and Professor Paul Eggert. The first paper was presented by Chris Tiffin at the Computing Arts 2001 conference mentioned above:
The second paper was an invited paper given at a seminar held by the Institute for Advanced Technologies in the Humanities (IATH) at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA in February 2002. The JITM system has been developed with funding from an Australian Research Council(ARC) SPIRT grant with assistance from Industry partners, The Australian Academy of the Humanities and the Apple University Consortium. The ARC grant was given for the development of an electronic edition of Marcus Clarke's His Natural Life using a JITM system. For further information on the Authenticated Electronic Editions Project please read the following paper presented by team member Dr. Graham Barwell presented at the Computing Arts 2001 conference in Sydney in 2001. This paper was published in the proceedings of the Computing Arts 2001 conference held at the University of Sydney in September 2001 ("Digital Resources for Research in the Humanities" ISBN 0 9585973 4 0). The JITM paradigm was originally conceived by Phillip Berrie as the subject of a major project for a Masters of Information Science Degree at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
