None, this TEI Lite P4 XML file is the source.

Except for the part on figures, which was imported from the slides for Syd's talk Advanced Topics in TEI Workshop 2004-11-04/05 at University of California, Berkeley, the figures part of which was never actually delivered

Identifying and Pointing XML provides ID attribute type In TEI it is always called id Must be unique within the documntAn IDREF attribute points to the ID attribute with the same valuetarget, lang
Standardizing names reg provides a regularized form of the name key provides a key into a database of namesPermitted on all naming elements
Notes and annotation

Basically just a hypertextual link

You can encode notes inline (where they appear):

We passed Albany Capital of New York at 4:00 today.

Some disadvantages… False proximity Confusing to read Only lets you annotate points, not ranges
A more adequate encoding Identify what you’re annotating and give it an id Point from the note to the anchor point using target Optional: point back from anchor to note: identify the note and give it an id Point from the anchor point to the note Put the note wherever you like…

References and cross-references

ref and ptr: references within this text Uses ID/IDREF ref has content ptr does not Chapter 12, Birds.]]> .]]>

xref and xptr: references outside the text Uses extended pointer syntax it is a very common extension to use a URL on url instead xref has content xptr does not

Alternative readings

<sic corr="bird">brid</sic>

<corr sic="brid">bird</corr>

<orig reg="Jesus">Iesvs</orig>

<reg orig="Iesvs">Jesus</reg>

<abbr expan="Obedient">Ob’t</abbr>

<expan abbr="Ob’t">Obedient</expan>

Foreign languages

Use the lang attribute on the element containing the language

If no element, use foreign

Place a language element in the header with an id value from RFC 3066 (or its successor) that identifies that language

Encoding the physical document

Break elements: lb, cb, and pb

milestone (for signatures, other similar structures)

Forme work: <fw type="...">

Page numbers Signatures Running heads Press figures Catchwords
A typical page break… ... and there it stopped. The 5 The next thing he knew ...

Illegibility

unclear: where you can see it but not clearly

supplied: where you can’t see it but you know what it says

gap: where you can’t see it and you don’t know what it says

damage: where the document is damaged
