The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is a consortium which collectively develops and maintains a standard for the representation of texts in digital form. Its chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Since 1994, the TEI Guidelines have been widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching, and preservation. In addition to the Guidelines themselves, the Consortium provides a variety of resources and training events for learning TEI, information on projects using the TEI, and software developed for or adapted to the TEI.

Brett Barney is the Research Associate Professor at the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities and Senior Associate Editor of the Walt Whitman Archive at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. He served two terms (2010-2013) on the TEI Consortium’s Technical Council and is currently engaged in an NEH-funded project to test and enhance the TEI's provisions for documentary and genetic editing.

This workshop of the DH Discovery Series, a part of Researcher Services at Swem Library and will be lead by Brett Barney and introduce the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) and its uses in the digital humanities.

We will be providing lunch for this event, so please register by October 24th.
