Encoding Seminar Resources

The TEI Guidelines

For everyone

• Read the HTML version. As of this writing (2008-01-21) this is the 1.0 release of 2007-11; it may have been updated since.
• Roma, the web interface for making ODD files, and a tool for generating documentation and schemas from ODD files

For advanced users

• The source and support utilities for the current release can be found on the Sourceforge project page.
• The source and support utilities for the development verion can be found in the Sourceforge repository.
• The TEI live Ubuntu DVD. This is a bootable GNU/Linux installer that will boot a standard PC or Intel-based Macintosh into a working Ubuntu GNU/Linux system that has P5 and Roma pre-installed. The system can be installed onto the machine or just run from the DVD.

Slides

Note that useful slide sets that we did not use at this particular seminar will be available on the series resource page soon.

Templates

Because these templates demonstrate how to link to a CSS stylesheet, and because they link to the empty template CSS stylesheet, it is likely that with most browsers clicking on the templates of XML documents will not prove very helpful. You will need to at least "view source", if not save them locally ("Save as…").

• Template using basic schema. Use this template for the first few exercises. To use, download to your TEIseminar folder and open from within oXygen.
  • the schema for use with the above file is at http://www.wwp.brown.edu/encoding/seminars/[venue]/demos/support/teach-basic.rnc To use the schema, follow the instructions below.
  • you may find the schema documentation useful
  • the ODD source of this customized schema may serve as a useful example
• The same template using the extensive schema; it also has schema documentation and the ODD source is available.
• Template with large TEI header. It uses the same ODD file and schema as the above.
• Template for CSS
