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> Romary & Lundberg Informational [Page 2] 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> <text> ... </text> </TEI> A document having <teiCorpus> root element <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <teiCorpus xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"> <teiHeader> ... </teiHeader> <TEI> <teiHeader>Show full document text
