The TEI now

International membership consortium established 2000 (voir http://www.tei-c.org/) The TEI Guidelines, originally envisaged as a single (large) reference manual, increasingly used as a modular online resource The Guidelines embody a broad consensus about the significant particularities of a huge range of textual materials expressed both in prose and by means of formal definitions constituting a kind of ontology the definitions can be expressed as a grammar or schema:

TEI P1-P3 (1991-1999) : SGML DTD TEI P4 (2000) : SGML or XML DTD TEI P5 (2005-) XML DTD, W3C Schema, or RelaxNG

The TEI is a modular system, which must be customized for particular applications . . ... the TEI is owned and developed by an active international community
