CEI - Charters Encoding Initiative

In April 2004, international scholars met in Munich. Their common purpose was to discuss the possibilities of a standard to encode medieval and early modern charters with XML. They finally built a preliminary working group called "Charters Encoding Initiative" to notify our intention to work continuously together, to spread our proposals in the scientific community and to integrate them into existing standards especially the guidelines of the TEI.
