Tei-term: an Sgml-based Interchange Format for Terminology Files

TEI-TERM is a formal for interchanging terminology files in electronic form between various types of computers and terminology management software packages. The “TEI” of TEITERM stands for Text Encoding Initiative[7], which is a major international effort to formally define various document types which are conformant to SGML[3], a widely-accepted international standard for the markup of the structure of documents. TEI-TERM is being developed by Working Group A&I-7 (Terminological Data) of the Text Encoding Initiative with input from many individuals and groups world-wide. TEI-TERM is not intended to replace existing formats used in terminology databases but rather to facilitate interchange of terminology data between otherwise incompatible systems.
