TEI Consortium

The TEI Consortium is a nonprofit organization that develops and maintains a set of standardized guidelines for encoding and representing digital texts, especially in the humanities and research fields. This helps scholars, archivists, and librarians to create, share, and analyze digital documents—such as manuscripts, historical texts, and literature—in a consistent way. By providing common standards, TEI ensures that digital texts are structured clearly and can be easily exchanged or studied across different systems and institutions. Essentially, TEI enables better preservation, access, and analysis of cultural and scholarly digital resources.
