TEI by Example offers a series of freely available online tutorials walking individuals through the different stages in marking up a document in TEI (Text Encoding Initiative). Besides a general introduction to text encoding, step-by-step tutorial modules provide example-based introductions to eight different aspects of electronic text markup for the humanities. Each tutorial module is accompanied with a dedicated examples section, illustrating actual TEI encoding practise with real-life examples. The theory of the tutorial modules can be tested in interactive tests and exercises.

Charles Muller: biblStruct Examples

In the technical documentation of the Yogācāra Bibliography, Charles Muller illustrates the encoding conventions used for the bibliographic encoding of different types of publications, using biblStruct.

A Standard Published Manuscript

As for any independently published work, the most common bibliographic facts of interest are the work’s author, title, place and date of publication, and publisher. These are encoded with their relevant TEI elements, and grouped in a monogr element. Notice, how the level attribute on the title element indicates the status of this work as monography (by means of the m value).

Lusthaus, Dan Buddhist Phenomenology: A Philosophical Investigation of Yogācāra Buddhism and the Ch'eng Wei-shih Lun London RoutledgeCurzon 2002 A biblStruct encoding of a standard published manuscript (Muller).
An Article in a Volume

When a bibliographic item is part of a larger bibliographic item, both can be described in a single biblStruct element. The details of the smallest bibliographic item (the article) are grouped in an analytic element. Notice, how the status of the article’s title is pointed out in the level attribute on the title element: a for analytic.

The containing bibliographic item is described in the monogr element, with the usual bibliographic elements. Notice, how the scope of the article within the larger work is encoded with biblScope, whose unit of measurement is identified as pages in a unit attribute.

Weinstein, Stanley The Ālaya-vijñāna in Early Yogācāra Buddhism--a Comparison of the Meaning in the Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra and Vijñapti-mātratā-siddhi of Dharmapāla Transactions of the International Conference of Orientalists in Japan 46-58 Tokyo Toho Gakkai 1958 Adapted from a TEI P4 biblStruct encoding of an article in a volume (Muller).
An Article in a Journal

The encoding of a journal article closely resembles that of an article in a volume: details of the article go in analytic, while those of the larger work are enclosed in monogr. Notice, how the status of journal title is identified by the j value for the title’s level attribute. Here, the biblScope element is used both for identifying the pages on which the article appears (unit="page"), and the journal volume in which the article appears (unit="volume").

Sponberg, Alan Dynamic Liberation in Yogācāra Buddhism Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies 2(1) 44-64 1979 Adapted from a TEI P4 biblStruct encoding of an article in a journal (Muller).
An Edited Volume

The encoding of an edited volume closely resembles that of any other independently published work, only here the editor element is used instead of author.

An Unpublished Dissertation

For the bibliographic description of an unpublished dissertation, as much information as possible can be given in the usual places, while its unpublished status can be indicated with the value u for the type attribute of the title element. Also, in the following example, the work’s status as Ph.D dissertation is pointed out in an extra note element inside monogr.
