Once the decision has been taken to build up an ODD schema that documents the usages of the TEI guidelines within a given digital humanities project, a first step towards customising the guidelines can be to adapt the documentation to reflect the specific practices of the project. A good way to do so is to work specifically on the examples associated to element description, which can easily be changed in the ODD specification.Let us imagine we create a simple specification for a dictionary project, thus integrating the modules: core, tei, header, textstructure and dictionaries. We can add a specification that changes the element &#60;entry&#62; as follows:&#60;elementSpec ident="entry" mode="change"&#62;   &#60;exemplum&#62;      &#60;egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"&#62;               &#60;entry xml:it="e-chat" xml:lang="fr"&#62;                  &#60;form&#62;                     &#60;orth&#62;chat&#60;/orth&#62;                  &#60;/form&#62;                  &#60;gramGrp&#62;                     &#60;pos&#62;n&#60;/pos&#62;                  &#60;/gramGrp&#62;              &#60;/entry&#62;        &#60;/egXML&#62;     &#60;/exemplum&#62;&#60;/elementSpec&#62;What we have done here is basically two-fold:Mark that we change the specification of the element by means of the @mode attribute set to “change” on the &#60;elementSpec&#62; element;Introduce an &#60;exemplum&#62; element with the example we want to record for this element.When compiled to create an XHTML output, all pre-existing examples for from the TEI guidelines are replaced by the one(s), that have been introduced that way (see screenshot below).See the full ODD example under:https://github.com/laurentromary/ODDtopics/blob/master/ODD%20examples/changeExample.xml
