Course Description
The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), an application of XML, is a widely recognized standard used worldwide to encode texts of interest to scholars in the humanities. Libraries and other cultural heritage institutions encode digitized texts using TEI to provide improved access to their online collections in a variety of forms to meet the needs of their users. Many libraries and archives use TEI Lite, a reduced version of the complex, modular TEI Schema, for their document encoding. TEI Lite is a single validating document (Schema or DTD) intended to "meet 90% of the needs of 90% of the TEI user community." TEI U5: Encoding for Interchange: an introduction to the TEI
