TEI Header

The TEI Header is a section at the beginning of a digital document that provides important information about the work, such as its title, author, creation date, and description. It acts like a detailed label or metadata, helping researchers and computers understand what the document is about and how it was created. This standardized information makes it easier to organize, find, and interpret the digital text, especially in scholarly and archival contexts. Essentially, the TEI Header ensures that key details about the document are clearly recorded and accessible.
