Description
Confronted with a plain text transcription, a computer will know little about either that text's structure (e.g., where pages start and end, or the boundaries of paragraphs are) or about more nuanced content (e.g., who added the interlinear glosses to a manuscript, how abbreviations ought to be expanded, or sources of intertextual references).
TEI-XML, generally called just TEI, is an XML-based language for modeling documents and text. Encoding in TEI is the process of adding code to transcribed text to add structure and content while making those texts accessible and manipulable via computer. TEI was originally designed to help scholars describe what they know about a source text in a way that is computationally tractable. Since then, the language has expanded to let scholars describe many more material and conceptual artifacts in a robust and systematic way.
Using a few real-world examples, this informational [workshop] will provide a brief introduction to TEI mark-up and it's value as a scholarly and pedagogical tool.
