| wit | (witness or witnesses) contains a list of one or more pointers indicating the witnesses
which attest to a given reading.| Zustand | Obligatorisch wenn zutreffend | | Datentyp | 1–∞ occurrences of separated by whitespace | | Werte | A space-delimited series of sigla; each sigil should correspond
to a witness or witness group and occur as the value of the
xml:id attribute on a <witness> element elsewhere in the
document. | | Anmerkung | If the apparatus contains readings only for a single
witness, this attribute may be consistently omitted. This attribute may occur both within an apparatus
gathering variant readings in the transcription of an individual
witness and within an apparatus gathering readings from different
witnesses. Additional descriptions or alternative versions of the sigla referenced may be
supplied as the content of a child <wit> element. |
|
| type | classifies the reading according to some useful typology.| Zustand | Optional | | Datentyp | | | Beispielwerte sind etwa: | - substantive
- the reading offers a substantive variant.
- orthographic
- the reading differs only orthographically, not in substance,
from other readings.
|
|
| cause | classifies the cause for the variant reading, according to
any appropriate typology of possible origins.| Zustand | Optional | | Datentyp | | | Beispielwerte sind etwa: | - homeoteleuton
- homeoarchy
- paleographicConfusion
- haplography
- dittography
- falseEmendation
|
|
| varSeq | (variant sequence) provides a number indicating the position of this reading in a
sequence, when there is reason to presume a sequence to the variants
on any one lemma.| Zustand | Optional | | Datentyp | | | Werte | a positive integer | | Anmerkung | Different variant sequences could be coded with distinct
number trails: 1-2-3 for one sequence, 5-6-7 for another. More
complex variant sequences, with (for example) multiple branchings
from single readings, may be expressed through the <join>
element. |
|
| resp | (responsible party) identifies the editor responsible for asserting a
particular reading in the witness.| Zustand | Optional | | Datentyp | | | Werte | A pointer to an element in the document header that is
associated with a person asserted as responsible for some aspect
of the text's creation, transcription, editing, or encoding (see
chapter 21 Certainty and Responsibility). | | Anmerkung | This attribute is only available within an apparatus
gathering variant readings in the transcription of an individual
witness. It may not occur in an apparatus gathering readings from
different witnesses. |
|
| hand | signifies the hand responsible for a particular reading in the
witness.| Zustand | Optional | | Datentyp | | | Werte | must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the document
header (see section 11.4.1 Document Hands). | | Anmerkung | This attribute is only available within an apparatus
gathering variant readings in the transcription of an individual
witness. It may not occur in an apparatus gathering readings from
different witnesses.
