Text Encoding Initiative

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is a set of guidelines for digitally representing literary and linguistic texts. It helps in encoding various elements like words, sentences, and structures so that they can be easily read and analyzed by computers. TEI is widely used by scholars in the humanities to ensure that texts are preserved and shared effectively, maintaining important details. By standardizing how texts are encoded, the TEI promotes better collaboration and accessibility in research, making it easier to search, analyze, and compare texts across different platforms and languages.
