the Vassar Planning Conference. 1994 – TEI P3 released, co-edited by Lou Burnard (at Oxford University) and Michael Sperberg-McQueen (then at the University of Illinois at Chicago, later at the W3C). 1999 – TEI P3 updated. 2002 – TEI P4 released, moving from SGML to XML; adoption of Unicode, which XML parsers are required to support. 2007 – TEI P5 released, including integration with the xml:lang and xml:id attributes from the W3C (these had previously been attributes in the TEI namespace), regularization of local pointing attributes to use the hash (as used in HTML) and unification of the ptr and xptr tags. Together these changes with many more new additions make P5 more regular and bring it closer to current xml practice as promoted by the W3C and as used by other XML variants. Maintenance and feature update versions of TEI P5 have been released at least twice a year since 2007. 2011 – TEI P5 v2.0.1 released with support for genetic editing (among many other additions the genetic editing features allow encoding of texts without interpretation as to their specific semantics). 2017 – TEI was awarded the Antonio Zampolli Prize from the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations.
