The basic reduced TEI schemata have been documented in form of guidelines which give detailed accounts of how dictionaries in the ACDH collection were encoded. These guidelines document and discuss the schema and furnish a number of examples taken from actual dictionaries. The target group for this guide are both the lexicographers working on ACDH projects as well as others who might want to work along similar lines. These particular Guidelines were themselves produced making use of the TEI framework.
