In this talk I will try to trace how its evolution has both determined and been determined by the ongoing confrontation between technological development and humanities scholarship. I will argue that the TEIrepresents one the first and perhaps among the most significant scholarly multinational collaborations to have been facilitated by the internet, and that its current organisation reflects the best hope we have for the community based development.As a complementation at 6 30, Joanna Blinska will introduce Lou Bernard book - What is the Text Encoding Initiative? How to add intelligent markup to digital resources?, which has been translated by her.
