Introduction to Remediating Files from IML to LEMDO TEI

The documentation in this chapter is for remediators working on files that were originally encoded in IML, the encoding language of the Internet Shakespeare Editions. Those remediating other types of files can find links to relevant documentation for their work in . Those encoding new files (i.e., files that were not converted from another encoding language or are not coming from a project with a different TEI customization) can find information written for them in other chapters of our Encoding Guidelines.

Rationale

Many of LEMDO’s files come to us from the Internet Shakespeare Editions project, which used its own custom markup language, IML. The documentation in this chapter explains how those files are converted into TEI, and provides information on how to remediate the converted files to match LEMDO’s standard practices.

Note that while the schema and Schematron will flag some of the things you need to fix while remediating, you will also need to follow the documentation in this chapter to find and fix other things.
