Introduction The TEI is an international and interdisciplinary standard that is widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to represent all kinds of textual material for online research and teaching. [TEI] In order to increase the possibilities for generic XML processing this document defines the 'application/tei+xml' media type in accordance with [RFC3023]. Romary & Lundberg Expires October 10, 2010 [Page 3] Internet-Draft The 'application/tei+xml' mediatype April 2010 2. Registration of MIME type 'application/tei+xml' MIME media type name: application MIME subtype name: tei+xml Required parameters: None Optional parameters: charset Identical with charset in [RFC3023] Encoding considerations: By virtue of TEI XML content being XML, it has the same considerations when sent as 'application/tei+xml' as does XML in general. See RFC 3023 [RFC3023], Section 3.2. Security considerations: TEI elements may refer to arbitrary URIs. Hence the security issues of [RFC3986], section 7, apply. See also Security considerations (Section 5) Interoperability considerations: None. Published specification: This media type registration is for TEI documents as described in the TEI Guidelines[TEI]. Applications which use this media type: There are currently no applications using the media type 'application/tei+xml'. It will be an entirely new type which is registered in order to allow for the deployment of TEI on the World Wide Web as a first class XML application. Additional information: Magic number(s): There is no single initial octet sequence that is always present in TEI documents. file extension(s): Romary & Lundberg Expires October 10, 2010 [Page 4] Internet-Draft The 'application/tei+xml' mediatype April 2010 TEI documents have most often the extension '.xml'. Other common extensions are '.tei', '.teiCorpus' and '.odd'. Macintosh File Type Code(s) TEXT Object Identifier(s) or OID(s) Not applicable Romary & Lundberg Expires October 10, 2010 [Page 5] Internet-Draft The 'application/tei+xml' mediatype April 2010 3. Recognizing TEI files TEI files are XML documents or fragments having the root element in a TEI namespace, i.e., a namespace URI starting with http://www.tei-c.org/ns/. This URI is followed by a version number, corresponding to the major release of the TEI schema. The current namespace is http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0 In general, a [TEI] file usually contains either of the strings .
