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; TEI P5 is currently under development and adds many new features. 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 example customization is subset is known as TEI Lite . There is ongoing work on TEI P5 which, although it breaks Backward Compatibility in a number of ways, has significantly updated the inner workings including a reorganization of the underlying structures of elements into classes which allow greater and easier customization. Maintenance and development continue under the sponsorship of the TEI Consortium. The TEI component for marking up Feature Structure s (a model of data sometimes used in linguistics) has been adopted as the basis of the ongoing development of an ISO standard for feature structures. TEI PROJECTS The TEI is used by many projects worldwide. The TEI Website contains a list of TEI Projects and a form for adding your project . Some well-known projects include:
