>The History Data Service is looking to nominate a history representative
>to sit on the inter-disciplinary steering committee for a new guide to
>good practise on CAD. Please contact the History Data Service at the
>following address: [log in to unmask], either if you would like to suggest
>a candidate, or if you would like to act as the history representative
>on this committee.
>
>The CAD Guide to Good Practise has been commissioned by the Archaeology
>Data Service (ADS) and will be written by the American CAD specialist,
>Nick Eiteljorg. The CAD Guide will be a high level guide to the good
>practices which will ensure that CAD datasets can be archived in
>electronic form. It will not be a guide about how to do CAD, and will
>instead point readers to the existing literature within humanities
>disciplines.
>
>The history representative on the inter-disciplinary steering committee
>will be responsible for: offering to Nick Eiteljorg history-specific
>examples of the use of CAD with 5-10 important bibliographic references;
>commenting on the development of a more detailed outline for the CAD
>Guide; reviewing the first and final drafts; identifying appropriate
>colleagues to peer review the CAD Guide.
>
>The development of the CAD Guide to Good Practise specification will
>largely take place electronically, however, two actual meetings will be
>critical in the life-cycle of the project: one when the final project
>specification is agreed with an author and steering committee, and
>another when the first draft is prepared and ready for careful review by
>the steering committee and editorial board.  Steering committee members
>will be reimbursed for travelling expenses.
