 The project "Die Deutsche Akademie des 17. Jahrhunderts: Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft" (The German Academy of the 17th Century: Fruitbearing Society), which was carried out at the Herzog August Library between 1988 and 2018, initially with funding from the German Research Foundation and from 2001 under the auspices of the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig, not only compiled and published a total of 13 edited volumes (in 16 parts) on the letters and works of this first and most important so-called German Sprachgesellschaft (language Society), but also presented, in addition to other substantial research contributions, a [research portal](http://www.die-fruchtbringende-gesellschaft.de/).[^3] A central dataset of this portal is the complete [member database](http://www.die-fruchtbringende-gesellschaft.de/index.php?category_id=15&article_id=16), the content of which is offered here in an XML format encoded according to the [TEI (P5)](https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/index.html) standard for free reuse.
 
-The member database is an important resource in its own right for research into the Fruitbearing Society and the German linguistic, literary, social and cultural history of the 17th century. It includes all members of the society, which existed from 1617 to 1680, and contains the most important bio-bibliographical information on each of them. The latter reflect the very different state of research and availability of sources on the individual personalities and the different phases in the history of the Fruitbearing Society, so that less information could be included, particularly for the members of the Weimar phase (1651-1662/67), which has not yet been covered by an edition. To encourage further research and improve the reusability of the data, it is published here in a standardized XML format in accordance with TEI specifications. The following documentation refers to this coding. An introduction and explanations of the content of the member database published elsewhere can be found in the [Research Portal "Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft"](http://www.die-fruchtbringende-gesellschaft.de/index.php?category_id=15&article_id=15).

 The basic structure of the entries for persons is based on the tabular structure of the individual entries in the member database. For the transfer to TEI-XML, an attempt was made to find the most suitable equivalent for each field. The following table, which includes all elements below <person>, provides an overview of this:[^4]
