Announcement

The Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange (TEI), first published in 1994, quickly became the standard for encoding literary texts. The TEI was widely adopted by libraries for its promise of discoverability, interoperability, and preservation of electronic texts, but the TEI’s monolithic nature inspired the codification of library-specific practice. Since 1999, libraries have relied on the "TEI Text Encoding in Libraries Guidelines for Best Encoding Practices" (version 2.1) to steer their work with encoded texts. In April 2008, the TEI in Libraries special interest group (SIG) and the DLF-sponsored TEI Task Force partnered to update the Guidelines. The revision was prompted by the release of P5, the newest version of the TEI, and the desire to create a true library-centric customization not constrained by the TEI Lite schema.

The revised Guidelines contain updated versions of the widely adopted encoding 'levels' - from fully automated conversion to content analysis and scholarly encoding. They also contain a substantially revised section on the TEI Header, designed to support interoperability between text collections and the use of complementary metadata schemas such as MARC and MODS. The new Guidelines also reflect an organizational shift. Originally authored by the DLF-sponsored TEI Task Force, the current revision work is a partnership between members of the Task Force and the TEI Libraries SIG. As a result of this partnership, responsibility for the Guidelines will migrate to the SIG, allowing closer work with the TEI Consortium as a whole, and a stronger basis for advocating for the needs of libraries in future TEI releases.

The revised Guidelines (version 3.0) are open for public comment from April 21, 2009 to May 6, 2009.
