SETIS

The Scholarly Electronic Text and Image Service (SETIS) is a digital library platform established by the University of Sydney Library in 1996. SETIS has since created the largest XML-based and TEI-encoded digital collection of Australian studies texts. [1] SETIS provides and manages the full-text collections for AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource. [2]

A digital library, digital repository, or digital collection, is an online database of digital objects that can include text, still images, audio, video, or other digital media formats. Objects can consist of digitized content like print or photographs, as well as originally produced digital content like word processor files or social media posts. In addition to storing content, digital libraries provide means for organizing, searching, and retrieving the content contained in the collection.

XML Markup language developed by the W3C for encoding of data

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and several other related specifications—all of them free open standards—define XML.

Text Encoding Initiative an academic community concerned with practices for semantic markup of texts

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is a text-centric community of practice in the academic field of digital humanities, operating continuously since the 1980s. The community currently runs a mailing list, meetings and conference series, and maintains an eponymous technical standard, a journal, a wiki, a GitHub repository and a toolchain.

In 2006 SETIS was renamed the Sydney Electronic Text and Image Service to coincide with the founding of the University of Sydney Library's eScholarship initiative.
