  TEI in Libraries
The Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange (referred to as the TEI Guidelines) were first published in 1994 and represent a tremendous achievement in electronic text standards by providing a highly sophisticated structure for encoding electronic text.
Encoding is performed automatically based on artifacts of the OCR or other document creation process (page breaks, for example) and metadata collected during the imaging or preparation process.
Texts encoded at Level 4 are able to stand alone as part of a library collection, and do not require page images in order for them to be read by students, scholars and general readers.

 The Text Encoding Initiative
Thus, the TEI became the only systematized attempt to develop a fully general text encoding model and set of encoding conventions based upon it, suitable for processing and analysis of any type of text, in any language, and intended to serve the increasing range of existing (and potential) applications and use.
The ongoing work of the TEI is to extend the scheme presented here to cover additional text types and features, as well as to continue to refine its encoding recommendations on the basis of extensive experience with their actual application and use.
The TEI is an international project to develop guidelines for the encoding of textual material in electronic form for research purposes; until now, it had been organized as a simple cooperative effort of the three sponsors, and funded solely by grant funds.

 Text Encoding Initiative
The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is an international project to develop guidelines for the preparation and interchange of electronic texts for scholarly research, and to satisfy a broad range of uses by the language industries more generally.
The TEI was established at a planning conference convened by ACH at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York on 12-13 November 1987, in response to the pressing need for a common text encoding scheme demonstrated by the chaotic diversity of formats in use in the mid- 1980's.
In May 1994, the TEI issued its "Guidelines for the Encoding and Interchange of Machine-Readable Texts." The Guidelines provide encoding conventions for describing the physical and logical structure of a large range of text types and features relevant for research in language technology, the humanities, and computational linguistics.

 Corpus Encoding Standard
This document is the first version of the Corpus Encoding Standard (CES), which are a part of the EAGLES Guidelinesdeveloped by the Expert Advisory Group on Language Engineering Standards (EAGLES).
The CES is an application of SGML (ISO 8879:1986, Information Processing--Text and Office Systems--Standard Generalized Markup Language) compliant with the specifications of the TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange of the Text Encoding Initiative.
The CES specifies a minimal encoding level that corpora must achieve to be considered standardized in terms of descriptive representation (marking of structural and typographic information) as well as general architecture (so as to be maximally suited for use in a text database).

 The Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines (P4)
The goal of providing guidance for text encoding requires that recommendations be made as to what textual features should be recorded in various situations.
Concerning text capture the TEI Guidelines do not specify a particular approach to the problem of fidelity to the source text and recoverability of the original; such a choice is the responsibility of the text encoder.
In general, the accuracy and the reliability of the encoding and the appropriateness of the interpretation is for the individual user of the text to determine.

 Electronic Textual Editing: Editors' introduction [ Lou Burnard (Oxford University & Text Encoding Initiative); ...
The scholarly debates over what sort of editions to produce— whether favoring the textual object, the author of the text, or the text's reception history—were driven as much by economics as by ideology.
Coincident with the spread of computing facilities, and their adoption as the basic means of communication amongst academics at all levels, has been an extraordinary democratization in the production of textual editions.
And the index of a text's reliability is unfortunately inversely proportional to its innocence of the canons of editing.
