SPONSORS AND ORGANISATION The scholarly societies originally sponsoring the TEI are the Association For Computers And The Humanities , the Association For Computational Linguistics , and the Association For Literary And Linguistic Computing . These three groups first organized the TEI in 1987 as a research effort funded exclusively by significant grants from many agencies. Today, the TEI Consortium is a member-funded non-profit corporation hosted by:
THE GUIDELINES The Guidelines define some 400 different textual components and concepts, which can be expressed using a Markup Language and defined by a DTD or XML Schema . Early versions of the Guidelines used SGML as a means of expression; more recently XML has been adopted. The basic concepts have been stable for over a decade, with TEI P3 (public release version 3) published in 1994 , and updated in 1999 . P4 ( 2002 ) is a slight update to accommodate XML; P5 is currently in progress. The TEI scheme is a modular one, designed to be customized for particular research or production environments. Many different applications of it are possible; one very popular subset is known as TEI Lite . There is ongoing work on P5 which is expected to break Backward Compatibility . Maintenance and development continue under the sponsorship of the TEI Consortium. The TEI component for marking up Feature Structure s (a model of data used in linguistics) has been adopted as the basis of the ongoing development of an ISO standard for feature structures.
