| key | provides an alternative identifier for the object being named,
such as a database record key. |
| Datatype: CDATA |
| Values: any string |
| Default: #IMPLIED |
| Example:
<name type='place'>Montaillou</rs>
is not a large parish.
At the time of the events which led to
<name type='person' key=BXII>
Fournier's</rs> investigations,
the local population consisted of between 200 and
250 inhabitants.
|
| Note | The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or
simply a more explicit name for the referent. Its purpose is only to
record an identification; if the analysis leading to the identification
is to be recorded as well, the analytic tags described in chapter
16 should be used in addition or instead.
|
| reg | (regularization) gives a normalized or regularized form of the name used. |
| Datatype: CDATA |
| Values: Any string of characters. |
| Default: #IMPLIED |
| Example:
At the time of the events which led to
<name type=person reg='Benedict XII, Pope of Avignon
(Jacques Fournier)'>Fournier's</rs> investigations,
the local population consisted of between 200 and
250 inhabitants.
|
| Note | In providing a `regularized' form, no
claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the
regularized form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes
of unifying variant forms under a single heading.
