TEI Lite - TEI Customizations

TEI Customizations

TEI customizations are specializations of the TEI XML specification for use in particular fields or by specific communities.

  • EpiDoc (Epigraphic Documents)
  • Music Encoding Initiative
  • Charters Encoding Initiative
  • Medieval Nordic Text Archive (Menota)

Customization in the TEI is done through the ODD mechanism mentioned above. In truth since its P5 version, all so-called 'TEI Conformant' uses of the TEI Guidelines are based on a TEI customization documented in a TEI ODD file. Even when users choose one of the off-the-shelf pre-generated schemas to validate against, these have been created from freely available customization files.
