I was involved in the creation of the IPI PAN Corpus of Modern Polish, mostly experimenting with the possibilities that the TEI and the CES offered for its architecture. I was also hired as XML architect for the Polish National Corpus. Currently, I co-ordinate the KorAP project at IDS Mannheim.
My current TEI-related projects include the open-source FreeDict (TEI-encoded translating dictionary repository) and the dormant OCTC (TEI-encoded multi-instance stand-off multilingual and partly parallel text corpus <note>I could go on with these attributes, you know -- Syd says I'm articulate ;-)</note>).
Some of my experiences with applying the TEI to large-scale language resources are reflected in my Balisage-2010 paper, on "Why TEI stand-off annotation doesn't quite work, and why you might want to use it nevertheless".
Together with Andreas Witt, I am co-convener of the TEI Special Interest Group, "TEI for Linguists".
I am also an administrator of this wiki and a co-author of many of its articles.
