These slides explain why and how we customize ODD files using the TEI. We begin with a discussion of constraint and the reasons it is useful when using the TEI. We also discuss the basic methods of constraint and validation in a TEI schema. This section also contains an overview of namespaces, which are essential to your customized schema, as they allow you to declare that your schema is definitionally different from the TEI’s. We also provide an overview of the TEI’s organizational features—modules and classes—so that you can effectively organize and pare down TEI-ALL schema in your ODD file.
