On June 30-July 1 1998 the Digital Library Federation organized a meeting at the
Library of Congress in Washington D.C. on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) and
Extensible Markup Language (XML). Representatives attended from libraries all
over North America and Europe. For more information, see:
The practical result of this conference is rapid and ongoing work by that part of
the library community most involved with TEI; the aim is in short order to
provide firm, "library-centric" guidelines in the following areas:
- 1. encoded full-texts
- 2. metadata (especially MARC/TEI/Dublin Core interchange)
- 3. the use of TEI to manage page-image projects like JSTOR
