Conclusions


  • XML based markup is today the only widely used standard technology for text encoding and processing
  • TEI uses this to build a sophisticated markup vocabulary, which is especially useful for scholars in the Humanities
  • Topic Maps provide a means to navigate such information spaces and allow new views and discoveries in these data
  • These three components combined together provide a uniquely powerful model for meaningfully processing and exchange textual information in data access systems
