TEI ODD Document Type

The TEI ODD (Text Encoding Initiative - One Document Does it all) document type is a TEI XML-conformant specification format that allows you to create a custom TEI P5 schema in a literate programming fashion. A system of XSLT stylesheets called Roma was created by the TEI Consortium for manipulating the ODD files.

File Definition

A file is considered to be a TEI ODD document when the following conditions are true:

  • The file extension is .odd.
  • The document namespace is http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0.

Default Document Templates

There is a default TEI ODD document template available when creating new documents from templates.

The default template is located in the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/templates/TEI ODD folder.

Default Schema

The default schema that is used if one is not detected in the TEI ODD document is tei_odds.rng and it is stored in [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/.

Default XML Catalogs

The default catalogs for the TEI ODD document type are as follows:

  • [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/tei/custom/schema/catalog.xml
  • [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/tei/xml/tei/schema/catalog.xml
