Abstract

Purpose

To present a concise introduction to and history of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).

Design/methodology/approach

Presents the TEI from a literature‐based, chronological perspective.

Findings

The de facto standard for electronic text encoding in the humanities, the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), an international and interdisciplinary standard for the electronic representation of documents in the humanities, has influenced the development of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) family of standards, and has become an indispensable tool for building digital libraries.

Practical implications

Reinforces the primacy of TEI in the creation of interchangeable electronic texts, particularly in humanities disciplines.

Originality/value

The first part of a two‐part column, explains how the TEI came into being, how it has influenced the evolution of world wide web standards, and why it has become an integral tool for digital library development.

Abstract

This article discusses the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences, and its potential impact on the development of enhanced digital libraries in the humanities. It focuses on the problems inherent in creating the technological environment needed by humanities scholars and the tools required to build, repurpose, and interact with digital libraries in the humanities.

Abstract

Purpose

To present a summary of the Proceedings of the 4th Annual Text‐Encoding Initiative (TEI) Consortium Members’ Meeting, October 2004, and an introduction to P5, the recently revised version of the TEI.

Design/methodology/approach

Presents the TEI from a literature‐based, chronological perspective.

Findings

TEI P5 brings the text‐encoding initiative better internal consistency and seamless integration with other digital library encoding standards.

Practical implications

Expressed in an XML Schema language, TEI P5 facilitates greater interoperability with other metadata and markup schemata. P5 also introduces changes that directly affect encoding such as simpler linking mechanisms and easier to encode standoff annotation.

Originality/value

This, the second part of a two‐part column, informs digital library developers of increased flexibility and interoperability of TEI P5, the revised version of the Text Encoding Initiative.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to introduce digital librarians to a new encoding standard for developing semantically‐rich controlled vocabularies which will enhance searching of digital content.

Design/methodology/approach

Literature‐based review.

Findings

SKOS Core serves as an efficient and practical segue from traditional knowledge organization systems such as thesauri and classification systems to more complex and logic‐driven Semantic Web languages.

Practical implications

Librarians with a need to provide semantically‐rich access to digital resources will find SKOS Core a useful addition to their metadata tool kits.

Originality/value

Provides a useful and practical introduction to a new Semantic Web tool which should be of great interest to librarians tasked with integrating knowledge organization systems into digital libraries.

Abstract

Purpose

To inform digital humanists about digital preservation metadata requirements and to inform digital librarians about the dynamic, multimedia content of digital humanities research and teaching resources that needs to be addressed by digital preservation initiatives.

Design/methodology/approach

Literature‐based review of the issues.

Findings

Tools to facilitate automatic and semi‐automatic capture, collection, and creation of digital preservation metadata are crucially needed to ensure long‐term preservation of digital humanities scholarship.

Practical implications

Without tools to capture and create the majority of the metadata recommended to ensure long‐term preservation of and access to digital resources, the born‐digital multimedia resources created by humanities scholars are in danger of becoming unusable in the long term, nullifying years of scholarship and millions of dollars of investment by scholars, institutions, and funding organizations.

Originality/value

Provides current information for humanities scholars and librarians who must work in tandem to ensure long‐term preservation of digital humanities scholarship.
