The OSIS manual states:
Users familiar with the Text Encoding Initiative will find OSIS markup quite familiar, because the bulk of the elements we define correspond directly to TEI elements, and almost always have the same name (though often simplified). The schema also provides a TEIform attribute for such elements, so they can be recognized by form-aware processors as equivalent to their TEI counterparts (p. 2).
To me this implies OSIS is similar, but not equivalent or necessarily compliant / a sub– or super– set. There also seems to be support for the TEI Header to retain it when TEI-encoded resources are encoded in OSIS (?):The content of a teiHeader element is not processed as part of the OSIS schema. It is provided for cases where a TEI header file or portion of a text needs to accompany a text that is now being encoded in OSIS markup (p. 30).
So to be clear, my questions are as follows:- Is OSIS a sub– (or super–) set of TEI or just a similar format?
- Are there other explicit formats used to store biblical corpora that are considered TEI-compliant (whether a sub/super–set)?
