Extending the possibilities for collaborative work with TEI/XML through the usage of a wiki system

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses an integrated project-specific working environment for editing TEI/XML files and linking entities of interest to a dedicated wiki system. This working environment has been specifically tailored to the workflow in our interdisciplinary digital humanities project "GeoBib". It addresses some challenges that arose while working with person-related data and geographical references in a growing collection of TEI/XML files. While our current solution provides some essential benefits, we also discuss several critical issues and challenges that remain.
