The TEI Consortium

The TEI Consortium is an organization that creates and maintains guidelines for digital texts in the humanities, such as literature, history, and linguistics. These guidelines, known as the TEI Standard, provide a common framework for researchers and institutions to digitize, encode, and share cultural and scholarly materials in a consistent way. This helps ensure that digital texts are stored accurately, easily searchable, and accessible for study and preservation. The consortium also supports collaboration and development of tools to implement these standards, fostering interoperability and long-term access to digital scholarly resources.
