30 Put into TEI P5

31 Putting it all on 1 plattform? Using TEI P5 Elements BUT: too much space for interpertation of the usage of single elements or information structures in TEI <div>-elements Attribut values (there is no defined range of values) Different researchers use different TEI concepts for the same fact 31

32 Problems Data editing No consistent use of attributes

33 Attribut documentation 33

34 Summing up 34

35 Projects in digital humanities Single projects focused on their particular goal /research topic Infrastructure approaches for support, e.g. DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Humanities), TextGRID TEI Editor Repository Geographic bowser 35

36 36 Handling those issues Supporting editorial groups with the organisation of the technological editing process is essential for the production of constistent works Teaching TEI Provide technical guidelines for edition Quality control may be done by XSL:FO-Stylesheets (has to be automated) The final product version produced by the editors is not neccesarily the one that is used for presentation of the work to end users (different customer groups) It allows a differentiated publishing of several version of an edited collection The TEI Version is useable for generating further research.. Within those research environments like Textgrid or DARIAH
