Software solutions for TEI-described manuscripts
Do you use TEI to describe manuscripts?
If so, could you help us by telling us the software solutions you use for:
- editing
- managing
- publishing
- indexing
the TEI-encoded information?
We would like to understand the range of solutions used by the TEI community to inform a new Bodleian Libraries project which aims to:
- determine a suitable technical architecture for the storage and indexing of TEI-XML manuscript descriptions across multiple collections
- build or implement the ‘back-end’ technical architecture as scoped
- engage in user testing of the existing TEI-based catalogues to decide the functional improvements requires for the front end interface(s)
- build a new, user-friendly interface for searching and browsing TEI
- design and implement a sustainability plan around training, communications and standards
If you can help us, or have any questions about the project, please contact:
Pip Willcox (pip.willcox@bodleian.ox.ac.uk) or

Late-breaking research/postgraduate and early career CFP
Call for Late-breaking Research Papers: TEI Members’ Meeting and Conference 2015
Text Encoding Initiative: connect—animate—innovate
2015 Annual Members’ Meeting and Conference of the TEI Consortium
Call for Papers on Late-breaking Research
28–31 October 2015
Lyon, France
Deadline: Tuesday 28 July 2015
Submissions: https://www.conftool.net/tei2015/
We invite proposals for individual papers on late-breaking research for the 15th annual Conference and Members’ Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI—http://www.tei-c.org).
We particularly welcome proposals from early career researchers and postgraduate students.
The power of the TEI is realized in interactions, between texts, between programs, between practices, and between members of its community. This theme invites considerations of technical and social applications and approaches, both to the practice of encoding and to the development of local and international communities of use. It includes training in the TEI and related areas, for example incorporating the digital into traditional forms of editing. It addresses integration of TEI-encoded texts at scale, for example in libraries and large corpora, and acknowledges that new research questions and external developments require continuous innovation.
POSSIBLE TOPICS
This list is not exclusive.
- Connecting the TEI
- TEI across corpora, languages, and cultures
- TEI, formal ontologies and the Semantic Web
- TEI and beyond: interactions, interchange, integrations and interoperability
- TEI in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums
- Animating the TEI
- TEI outreach, within and between communities of practice
- TEI, editors, readers, collaborators
- TEI and sustainability
- TEI and visualization
- Innovating with the TEI
- TEI tools for analysis, publication, and infrastructures
- TEI environments
- TEI at scale
- TEI, refinement, simplification, and extension
Submissions
All submissions should include a title, the abstract(s), a brief biography of all the author(s)/speaker(s), and up to five keywords.
Word counts apply to the text of the abstract, excluding titles, biographies and keywords.
INDIVIDUAL PAPERS

Reminder! Call for hosts: TEI Members’ Meeting and Conference for 2016
This is a public call for bids to host the annual TEI Members Meeting and conference for 2016. Meetings have traditionally been held in the fall. The last two meetings were held in Rome (2013: http://digilab2.let.uniroma1.it/teiconf2013/) and Chicago (2014 http://tei.northwestern.edu/); this year it will be held in Lyon. The site of the meeting has typically alternated between Europe and North America, but that is not a fixed rule.
The TEI website includes a document about Hosting a TEI Conference and Members Meeting (http://members.tei-c.org/hosting). It is a useful blueprint, but many of its details are subject to negotiation or the preferences of the local host. The details of it can be condensed as follows:
