Dear Eduard, With a project like yours you can get a lot of prompt, free, and excellent advice from the TEI List. It never lets you down. As for things like <span type="lemma" target="w1 w2">, no technology will per se protect you from folly, and consistency is for the most part a matter of human attention, with some useful help from machines. But the TEI gives you patterns to follow, and you can draw on the wealth of experience that projects all over the world have gathered and are more than willing to share.

By adopting an international standard we hope to boost doing research on top of these data. Related to this I am interested in experiences with: 1) doing research on TEI material 2) disclosure and publication (i.g. web) of TEI material Experiments with oxGarage http://www.tei-c.org/oxgarage/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tei-2Dc.org_oxgarage_&d=CwMFAw&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=rG8zxOdssqSzDRz4x1GLlmLOW60xyVXydxwnJZpkxbk&m=teeTEWXHO7vYq4j6-IpALyJuyNwWeDkKnTqqNMQuMB0&s=yfMZry0oxK4Zzxjek5MHa_oI1jIo4RyRuQZtIsu9sZ8&e=> shows minimal, disappointing results. I did not yet try https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_TEIC_Stylesheets&d=CwMFAw&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=rG8zxOdssqSzDRz4x1GLlmLOW60xyVXydxwnJZpkxbk&m=teeTEWXHO7vYq4j6-IpALyJuyNwWeDkKnTqqNMQuMB0&s=MFwsiisUogKcb3RnV2t9ClMBno5vhbe9ht84HmwNuGM&e=>, perhaps this offers better results. I wonder how much effort / development (i.a. xslt, xquery) the two aspects (publicaton and doing research) will take. TEI offers flexibility and freedom (i.g. <span type="lemma" target="w1 w2"> instead of <lemma target="w1 w2">) that complicates tool development. How big of a problem is this?
