Abstract

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard was developed for the humanities scholars to encode textual documents for data interchange and analytic research. Its header segment contains rich tag sets, which can sufficiently support library cataloging practice with AACR2 rules and authority control. Presents a strategy that is currently used by the Making of America (MoA) project for transferring complete MARC data created on the library’s online system to the header of the TEI encoded documents. Also describes the cooperation for achieving this task between the Digital Library Production Services (DLPS) and Monograph Cataloging Division at the University of Michigan Library.
