The goal of the TEI Overlapping Markup SIG is to bring together users of the TEI who are acutely interested in issues of multiple hierarchies and in particular handling those in XML.

It will do this by: running a mailing list about overlapping hierarchies and solutions to encoding them assess the TEI and suggest improvements and alterations to the TEI-Council

The SIG is convened by Dorothy Carr Porter.

The SIG runs a mailing list on this topic. To join visit
