(facsimile) points to all or part of an image which corresponds with the content of the element. points to one or more change elements documenting a state or revision campaign to which the element bearing this attribute and its children have been assigned by the encoder. indicates the element within a transcription of the text containing at least the start of the writing represented by this zone or surface. gives the x coordinate value for the upper left corner of a rectangular space. gives the y coordinate value for the upper left corner of a rectangular space. gives the x coordinate value for the lower right corner of a rectangular space. gives the y coordinate value for the lower right corner of a rectangular space. identifies a two dimensional area within the bounding box specified by the other attributes by means of a series of pairs of numbers, each of which gives the x,y coordinates of a point on a line enclosing the area. (added span of text) marks the beginning of a longer sequence of text added by an author, scribe, annotator or corrector (see also add). [] The @spanTo attribute of is required. L'attribut spanTo est requis. (abbreviation marker) contains a sequence of letters or signs present in an abbreviation which are omitted or replaced in the expanded form of the abbreviation. [] contains an area of damage to the text witness. [] (damaged span of text) marks the beginning of a longer sequence of text which is damaged in some way but still legible. [] The @spanTo attribute of is required. L'attribut spanTo est requis. (deleted span of text) marks the beginning of a longer sequence of text deleted, marked as deleted, or otherwise signaled as superfluous or spurious by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector. [] The @spanTo attribute of is required. L'attribut spanTo est requis. (editorial expansion) contains a sequence of letters added by an editor or transcriber when expanding an abbreviation. [] contains a representation of some written source in the form of a set of images rather than as transcribed or encoded text. [] (forme work) contains a running head (e.g. a header, footer), catchword, or similar material appearing on the current page. [] classifies the material encoded according to some useful typology. Sample values include: 1] header; 2] footer; 3] pageNum(page number) ; 4] lineNum(line number) ; 5] sig(signature) ; 6] catch(catchword) contains one or more handNote elements documenting the different hands identified within the source texts. [] marks the beginning of a sequence of text written in a new hand, or the beginning of a scribal stint. [] indicates a handNote element describing the hand concerned. contains the transcription of a topographic line in the source document [] supplies a list of transpositions, each of which is indicated at some point in a document typically by means of metamarks. [] contains or describes any kind of graphic or written signal within a document the function of which is to determine how it should be read rather than forming part of the actual content of the document. [] describes the function (for example status, insertion, deletion, transposition) of the mark. identifies one or more elements to which the function indicated by the metamark applies. represents any kind of modification identified within a single document. [] indicates one or more cancelled interventions in a document which have subsequently been marked as reaffirmed or repeated. [] points to one or more elements representing the interventions which are being reasserted. indicates restoration of text to an earlier state by cancellation of an editorial or authorial marking or instruction. [] contains a sequence of writing which has been retraced, for example by over-inking, to clarify or fix it. [] (secluded text) Secluded. Marks text present in the source which the editor believes to be genuine but out of its original place (which is unknown). [] one or more words indicating why this text has been secluded, e.g. interpolated etc. contains a transcription or other representation of a single source document potentially forming part of a dossier génétique or collection of sources. [ ] indicates the location of a significant space in the text. [] (responsible party) (responsible party) indicates the individual responsible for identifying and measuring the space (dimension) indicates whether the space is horizontal or vertical. horizontal the space is horizontal. vertical the space is vertical. (substitution) groups one or more deletions with one or more additions when the combination is to be regarded as a single intervention in the text. [] must have at least one child add and at least one child del (substitution join) identifies a series of possibly fragmented additions, deletions or other revisions on a manuscript that combine to make up a single intervention in the text [] signifies text supplied by the transcriber or editor for any reason; for example because the original cannot be read due to physical damage, or because of an obvious omission by the author or scribe. [] one or more words indicating why the text has had to be supplied, e.g. overbinding, faded-ink, lost-folio, omitted-in-original. defines a written surface as a two-dimensional coordinate space, optionally grouping one or more graphic representations of that space, zones of interest within that space, and transcriptions of the writing within them. [ ] describes the method by which this surface is or was connected to the main surface Sample values include: 1] glued; 2] pinned; 3] sewn indicates whether the surface is attached and folded in such a way as to provide two writing surfaces defines any kind of useful grouping of written surfaces, for example the recto and verso of a single leaf, which the encoder wishes to treat as a single unit. [] marks text present in the source which the editor believes to be superfluous or redundant. [] one or more words indicating why this text is believed to be superfluous, e.g. repeated, interpolated etc. describes a single textual transposition as an ordered list of at least two pointers specifying the order in which the elements indicated should be re-combined. [] indicates one or more marked-up interventions in a document which have subsequently been marked for cancellation. [] points to one or more elements representing the interventions which are to be reverted or undone. defines any two-dimensional area within a surface element. [ ] indicates the amount by which this zone has been rotated clockwise, with respect to the normal orientation of the parent surface element as implied by the dimensions given in the msDesc element or by the coordinates of the surface itself. The orientation is expressed in arc degrees.
