Creating an Interoperable TEI Annotation Schema
The process of creating a Digital Edition using the TEI Guidelines is common practice in the Digital Humanities and a cornerstone of creating research data that adheres to the FAIR Principles. However, ambiguous or uninformed usage of annotation elements from the TEI Guidelines can result in interoperability issues and tedious curation effort. This workflow promotes the careful creation of a TEI annotation schema by balancing the project-specific needs with existing best practices and tool-related pitfalls. By following these steps, you build the foundation for a successful Digital Edition project and can start the annotation process with confidence in your future interoperability.
Workflow steps(6)
1 Familiarize yourself with the TEI Guidelines and customization
2 Clarify internal project requirements
3 Check for tool-specific dependencies in your curation process
4 Check for expected annotation practices of publishing software
5 Inform yourself about best practices of related projects
6 Finalize your annotation schema
The SSH Open Marketplace is maintained and will be further developed by three European Research Infrastructures - DARIAH, CLARIN and CESSDA - and their national partners. It was developed as part of the "Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud" SSHOC project, European Union's Horizon 2020 project call H2020-INFRAEOSC-04-2018, grant agreement #823782.
