English abstract

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines, used for the electronic encoding of literary and linguistic texts and since 2001 based on the XML syntax, are constantly being more and more adopted by various digitalization projects. As the number of TEI digital texts and collections is growing, also the availability of software tools able to "manipulate" this kind of texts is increasing, and the choice is now much wider than it was just a few years ago. Each tool has its own peculiarities, which should be evaluated and confronted against the characteristics of the texts being encoded and the general needs and aims of the project of which the digital library is part. What this paper wants to analyze is the possibility of a classification of the actually available TEI Management Systems, using the Topic Maps technology, an ISO standard for the management and representation of knowledge.
