Critical Editions Guidelines and Schemas

As part of its mission, the Digital Latin Library project has developed a set of guidelines for the encoding of critical editions for the Library of Digital Latin Texts as a TEI ODD. A set of schemas, based on EpiDoc, that will serve as the foundation for the editions it publishes are available below. You can track the development of the Critical Editions Guidelines ODD in our repo.

• RelaxNG Schema
• RNG Compact Schema
• Compiled ODD
• A template file to get started with.

These may be employed in a TEI document by linking them in schema declarations at the head of your document:
