TEI Guidelines

The TEI Guidelines, or Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines, provide a standardized way to describe and encode texts for digital use. They help researchers and scholars to represent various aspects of texts, including their structure, content, and metadata, in a consistent format. This enables better preservation, sharing, and analysis of text across different digital platforms. By using TEI, academics can create machine-readable texts that enhance accessibility, facilitate scholarly research, and support the future development of digital humanities projects. Essentially, TEI helps ensure that literary and historical works can be preserved and understood in the digital realm.
