TEI Membership Benefits
There are several tangible benefits of membership in the TEI Consortium. One of the most important benefits, which is difficult to quantify, is the fact that support for the TEI helps ensure that this important community standard will continue to be available and supported for the future, and that its development keeps pace with the needs of the text encoding community. Other, more specific benefits include the following:
TEI annual Conference and Members' Meeting
Voting in TEI electionsThe TEI Conference and Members' Meeting is a central event in the TEI community and an excellent opportunity to meet with other TEI projects and users and learn more about new developments in the TEI world. TEI institutional representatives and individual subscribers can:
- Receive a substantial discount on registration for the TEI conference
- Attend the annual TEI business meeting (usually at the conference)
All TEI members have a vote in TEI Council and Board elections.
Discounts on software
The TEI works to negotiate discounts with vendors of software. Currently TEI members are entitled to a 20% discount on the popular <Oxygen/> XML Editor, which comes bundled with TEI schemas and stylesheets. Members may obtain a discount code by logging in to the Members' site; individuals at member institutions can be designated to receive these discounts by the person at their institution who is designated to administer the membership (that person will be listed in the Directory).
Discounts on training and consultation
TEI members are entitled to receive discounts from participating institutions on TEI training workshops and consultation.
The TEI continues to explore additional opportunities for membership benefits, and any new benefits will be announced on TEI-L and at this site.
