1. Introduction
Text Encoding and Interchange (TEI) is an international and
interdisciplinary standard that is widely used by libraries, museums,
publishers, and individual scholars to represent all kinds of textual
material for online research and teaching [TEI].
This document defines the 'application/tei+xml' media type in
accordance with [RFC3023] in order to enable generic processing of
such documents on the Internet using eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
[W3C.REC-xml-20081126] technologies.
2. Recognizing TEI Files
TEI files are XML documents or fragments having the root element (as
defined in [W3C.REC-xml-20081126]) in a TEI namespace. TEI namespace
names are defined as a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) [RFC3986]
in accordance with [W3C.REC-xml-names-20091208] and begins with
http://www.tei-c.org/ns/ followed by the version number of the
namespace. The current namespace is http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0
The most common root element names for TEI documents are
<TEI>
<teiCorpus>

RFC 6129 The 'application/tei+xml' Media Type February 2011
The teiCorpus documents provide the ability to bundle multiple
documents into a single file.
Examples:
A document having <TEI> root element
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
<teiHeader>
...
</teiHeader>
