Hello, and welcome to the eXist-TEIXML mailing list! Inspired by the "Introduction to XML Databases" seminar at the recent Digital.Humanities@Oxford Summer School 2011 (http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/DHSS2011/sessions.html#xmldb), this mailing list aims to fill the need for a discussion list for the community of users of TEI and eXist-db. There is a growing community of digital humanists who have learned TEI to encode their documents. They want to create dynamic, searchable websites to display and interact with their documents and share them with others. eXist-db, a free, open source XML database, offers an excellent platform for doing this. In fact, eXist-db is already popular in the TEI community, and TEI is popular in the eXist-db community. Both communities have their own mailing lists, but they cover a broad range of topics. This list exists to cover the intersection of eXist-db, TEI, and digital humanities. Thanks to Wolfgang Meier and Sourceforge for graciously hosting this mailing list.
