SIG:Libraries

h2. TEI in Libraries, Special Interest Group

Convenor: Perry Willett Co-convenor: Michelle Dalmau (2007)

The goal of the TEI Special Interest Group on Libraries is to discuss topics regarding the use of TEI in library, including the creation of guidelines to best practice that encourage the consistent and predictable encoding of TEI documents. Greater consistency and predictability will facilitate the interchange of documents, interoperability of systems, and the creation of standard tools for libraries to use in the creation and publication of TEI documents.
