- Semantic publishing enhances the meaning and automated discovery of published articles by enriching them with metadata. This allows articles to be more easily linked, integrated, and analyzed. - SPAR and EARMARK are ontologies that can be used to semantically annotate TEI documents. SPAR defines terms for scholarly objects, and EARMARK defines how to annotate text ranges without modifying the source document. - An example is provided of how SPAR and EARMARK could be used to annotate a TEI version of Shakespeare's The Tempest, linking text excerpts to definitions in DBPedia and recording different annotators' interpretations.
