Software solutions for TEI-described manuscripts

Do you use TEI to describe manuscripts?

If so, could you help us by telling us the software solutions you use for:

• editing
• managing
• publishing
• indexing

the TEI-encoded information?

We would like to understand the range of solutions used by the TEI community to inform a new Bodleian Libraries project which aims to:

• determine a suitable technical architecture for the storage and indexing of TEI-XML manuscript descriptions across multiple collections
• build or implement the ‘back-end’ technical architecture as scoped
• engage in user testing of the existing TEI-based catalogues to decide the functional improvements requires for the front end interface(s)
• build a new, user-friendly interface for searching and browsing TEI
• design and implement a sustainability plan around training, communications and standards

If you can help us, or have any questions about the project, please contact:
