The cesDoc DTD and levels of encoding

This DTD is used for encoding primary data. It is very similar to TEI Lite, but redefines some TEI elements, e.g. the title in the header is <h.title>, not <title>.

For the encoding of primary data the CES identifies three levels of encoding:

Level 1
This is the minimum encoding level required for CES conformance, requiring markup for gross document structure (major text divisions), down to the level of the paragraph, conformant to the cesDoc DTD.
Level 2
This level requires that paragraph level elements are correctly marked, and (where possible) the function of rendition information at the sub-paragraph level is determined and elements marked accordingly.
Level 3
This is the most restrictive and refined level of markup for primary data. It places additional constraints on the encoding of s-units and quoted dialogue, and demands more sub-paragraph level tagging.

And example of a Level 3 document fragment:

 <text  lang="sl">
  <body lang="sl" id="Osl">
   <div id="Osl.1"  type=part n=1>
    <head>Prvi del</head>
     <div id="Osl.1.2"  type=chapter n=1>
      <head>I</head>
      <p id="Osl.1.2.2">
       <s id="Osl.1.2.2.1">Bil je jasen, mrzel aprilski dan 
in ure so bile trinajst.</s>
       <s id="Osl.1.2.2.2"><name>Winston Smith</name> je imel 
brado zakopano v prsi, da bi u&scaron;el strupenemu vetru, ko 
je stopil skozi steklena vrata bloka Zmaga, vendar ne dovolj 
hitro, da ne bi vrtinec pe&scaron;&ccaron;enega prahu vstopil
skupaj z njim.</s>
</p>
...
<s id="Osl.1.2.8.3">S kraja, kjer je stal <name>Winston</name>, 
se je ravno &scaron;e dalo prebrati tri partijske parole, ki 
so se v lepih &ccaron;rkah odra&zcaron;ale z belega pro&ccaron;elja:
<q id="Osl.1.2.8.3.2" rend="CN CA" type=slogan>Vojna je mir</q>
<q id="Osl.1.2.8.3.3" rend="CN CA" type=slogan>Svoboda je 
su&zcaron;enjstvo</q>
<q id="Osl.1.2.8.3.4" rend="CN CA" type=slogan>Nevednost je 
mo&ccaron;</q></s>
