Abstract

This paper describes the TEI guidelines’ approach to describing hypertext features, the rationale that went into the design of the tagset, and the range of features included in the guidelines. It also discusses the relation and integration of TEI markup and the HyTime standard (ISO 10744).

Steven J. DeRose (Ph. D. in Computational Linguistics, Brown University) is now Senior System Architect at Electronic Book Technologies, the leading developer of SGML-based software for online delivery of electronic books. He served as director of the FRESS hypertext system project at Brown University, 1979–1982, and as a technical writer and design consultant for the CDWord Biblical hypertext project. He has published papers on descriptive markup, hypertext, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and other topics. With David Durand he co-authored Making Hypermedia Work: A User’s Guide to HyTime.

David Durand is a graduate of Brown University, and Ph.D. student in computer science at Boston University, working on collaborative editing of hypertexts. He was a member of the TEI committees on Syntax and Metalanguage and on Hypertext. With Steven DeRose, he is co-author of the recent book Making Hypermedia Work: A Users’s Guide to HyTime.
