MULTEXT-East Morphosyntactic Specifications

TEI Schema for MULTEXT-East Language Resources Version 6

MULTEXT-East V6

This TEI customization file includes modules for multilingual morphosyntactically annotated corpora and morphosyntactically specifications of the MULTEXT-East project, https://nl.ijs.si/ME/, in particular Version 6 of the resources.

1. Elements

1.1. <TEI>

<TEI> (TEI document) contains a single TEI-conformant document, combining a single TEI header with one or more members of the model.resource class. Multiple <TEI> elements may be combined within a <TEI> (or <teiCorpus>) element. [4. Default Text Structure 16.1. Varieties of Composite Text]

versionspecifies the version number of the TEI Guidelines against which this document is valid.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.version
Note

Major editions of the Guidelines have long been informally referred to by a name made up of the letter P (for Proposal) followed by a digit. The current release is one of the many releases of the fifth major edition of the Guidelines, known as P5. This attribute may be used to associate a TEI document with a specific release of the P5 Guidelines, in the absence of a more precise association provided by the source attribute on the associated <schemaSpec>.

This element is required. It is customary to specify the TEI namespace http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0 on it, for example: <TEI version="4.4.0" xml:lang="it" xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">.

Example
<TEI version="3.3.0" xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">  <teiHeader>   <fileDesc>    <titleStmt>     <title>The shortest TEI Document Imaginable</title>    </titleStmt>    <publicationStmt>     <p>First published as part of TEI P2, this is the P5          version using a namespace.</p>    </publicationStmt>    <sourceDesc>     <p>No source: this is an original work.</p>    </sourceDesc>   </fileDesc>  </teiHeader>  <text>   <body>    <p>This is about the shortest TEI document imaginable.</p>   </body>  </text> </TEI>

1.2. <ab>

<ab> (anonymous block) contains any component-level unit of text, acting as a container for phrase or inter level elements analogous to, but without the same constraints as, a paragraph. [17.3. Blocks, Segments, and Anchors]

Note

The <ab> element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any component-level elements in a text for which no other more specific appropriate markup is defined. Unlike paragraphs, <ab> may nest and may use the type and subtype attributes.

Example
<div type="bookn="Genesis">  <div type="chaptern="1">   <ab>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.</ab>   <ab>And the earth was without form, and void; and      darkness was upon the face of the deep.

1.3. <abbr>

<abbr> (abbreviation) contains an abbreviation of any sort. [3.6.5. Abbreviations and Their Expansions]
Modulecore
Attributes
type(type) allows the encoder to classify the abbreviation according to some convenient typology.
Derived fromatt.typed
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
suspension
(suspension) the abbreviation provides the first letter(s) of the word or phrase, omitting the remainder.
contraction
(contraction) the abbreviation omits some letter(s) in the middle.
brevigraph
the abbreviation comprises a special symbol or mark.
superscription
(superscription) the abbreviation includes writing above the line.
acronym
(acronym) the abbreviation comprises the initial letters of the words of a phrase.
title
(title) the abbreviation is for a title of address (Dr, Ms, Mr, …)
organization
(organization) the abbreviation is for the name of an organization.
geographic
(geographic) the abbreviation is for a geographic name.
Note

The type attribute is provided for the sake of those who wish to classify abbreviations at their point of occurrence; this may be useful in some circumstances, though usually the same abbreviation will have the same type in all occurrences. As the sample values make clear, abbreviations may be classified by the method used to construct them, the method of writing them, or the referent of the term abbreviated; the typology used is up to the encoder and should be carefully planned to meet the needs of the expected use. For a typology of Middle English abbreviations, see 6.2.

If abbreviations are expanded silently, this practice should be documented in the <editorialDecl>, either with a <normalization> element or a <p>.

Note

This element is intended only for cases where no abstract is available in the original source. Any abstract already present in the source document should be encoded as a <div> within the <front>, as it should for a born-digital document.

Example
<profileDesc>  <abstract resp="#LB">   <p>Good database design involves the acquisition and deployment of      skills which have a wider relevance to the educational process. From      a set of more or less instinctive rules of thumb a formal discipline      or "methodology" of database design has evolved. Applying that      methodology can be of great benefit to a very wide range of academic      subjects: it requires fundamental skills of abstraction and      generalisation and it provides a simple mechanism whereby complex      ideas and information structures can be represented and manipulated,      even without the use of a computer. </p>  </abstract> </profileDesc>

Note

In a diplomatic edition attempting to represent an original source, the <add> element should not be used for additions to the current TEI electronic edition made by editors or encoders. In these cases, either the <corr> or <supplied> element are recommended.

In a TEI edition of a historical text with previous editorial emendations in which such additions or reconstructions are considered part of the source text, the use of <add> may be appropriate, dependent on the editorial philosophy of the project.

Example
The story I am going to relate is true as to its main facts, and as to the consequences <add place="above">of these facts</add> from which this tale takes its title.

Note

Addresses may be encoded either as a sequence of lines, or using any sequence of component elements from the model.addrPart class. Other non-postal forms of address, such as telephone numbers or email, should not be included within an <address> element directly but may be wrapped within an <addrLine> if they form part of the printed address in some source text.

Example
<address>  <addrLine>Computing Center, MC 135</addrLine>  <addrLine>P.O. Box 6998</addrLine>  <addrLine>Chicago, IL</addrLine>  <addrLine>60680 USA</addrLine> </address>

1.7. <address>

<address> (address) contains a postal address, for example of a publisher, an organization, or an individual. [3.6.2. Addresses 2.2.4. Publication, Distribution, Licensing, etc. 3.12.2.4. Imprint, Size of a Document, and Reprint Information]

Note

This element should be used for postal addresses only. Within it, the generic element <addrLine> may be used as an alternative to any of the more specialized elements available from the model.addrPart class, such as <street>, <postCode> etc.

ExampleUsing just the elements defined by the core module, an address could be represented as follows:
<address>  <street>via Marsala 24</street>  <postCode>40126</postCode>  <name>Bologna</name>  <name>Italy</name> </address>
ExampleWhen a schema includes the names and dates module more specific elements such as country or settlement would be preferable over generic <name>:
<address>  <street>via Marsala 24</street>  <postCode>40126</postCode>  <settlement>Bologna</settlement>  <country>Italy</country> </address>
Example
<address>  <addrLine>Computing Center, MC 135</addrLine>  <addrLine>P.O. Box 6998</addrLine>  <addrLine>Chicago, IL 60680</addrLine>  <addrLine>USA</addrLine> </address>
Example
<address>  <country key="FR"/>  <settlement type="city">Lyon</settlement>  <postCode>69002</postCode>  <district type="arrondissement">IIème</district>  <district type="quartier">Perrache</district>  <street>   <num>30</num>, Cours de Verdun</street> </address>

Note

For further detailed explanation of the suggested values, see the Web Annotation Vocabulary (WAV). The motivations described here map to URIs defined by the WAV and when exported to RDF or JSON-LD must have the URI http://www.w3.org/ns/oa# prepended.

As an RDF vocabulary, WADM permits the definition of new motivations (see Appendix C of the WAV). In TEI, new motivations may be defined in a custom ODD (see section 23.3.1.3). New motivations must also map to URIs defined by an RDF ontology extending the WAV.

Note

Particularly where cataloguing is likely to be based on the content of the header, it is advisable to use a generally recognized name authority file to supply the content for this element. The attributes key or ref may also be used to reference canonical information about the author(s) intended from any appropriate authority, such as a library catalogue or online resource.

In the case of a broadcast, use this element for the name of the company or network responsible for making the broadcast.

Where an author is unknown or unspecified, this element may contain text such as Unknown or Anonymous. When the appropriate TEI modules are in use, it may also contain detailed tagging of the names used for people, organizations or places, in particular where multiple names are given.

Example
<author>British Broadcasting Corporation</author> <author>La Fayette, Marie Madeleine Pioche de la Vergne, comtesse de (1634–1693)</author> <author>Anonymous</author> <author>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation</author> <author>  <persName>Beaumont, Francis</persName> and <persName>John Fletcher</persName> </author> <author>  <orgName key="BBC">British Broadcasting    Corporation</orgName>: Radio 3 Network </author>

Note

When a single page is being cited, use the from and to attributes with an identical value. When no clear endpoint is provided, the from attribute may be used without to; for example a citation such as ‘p. 3ff’ might be encoded <biblScope from="3">p. 3ff</biblScope>.

It is now considered good practice to supply this element as a sibling (rather than a child) of <imprint>, since it supplies information which does not constitute part of the imprint.

Example
<biblScope>pp 12–34</biblScope> <biblScope unit="pagefrom="12to="34"/> <biblScope unit="volume">II</biblScope> <biblScope unit="page">12</biblScope>

Note

Because the children of a <choice> element all represent alternative ways of encoding the same sequence, it is natural to think of them as mutually exclusive. However, there may be cases where a full representation of a text requires the alternative encodings to be considered as parallel.

Note also that <choice> elements may self-nest.

Where the purpose of an encoding is to record multiple witnesses of a single work, rather than to identify multiple possible encoding decisions at a given point, the <app> element and associated elements discussed in section 13.1. The Apparatus Entry, Readings, and Witnesses should be preferred.

ExampleAn American encoding of Gulliver's Travels which retains the British spelling but also provides a version regularized to American spelling might be encoded as follows.
<p>Lastly, That, upon his solemn oath to observe all the above articles, the said man-mountain shall have a daily allowance of meat and drink sufficient for the support of <choice>   <sic>1724</sic>   <corr>1728</corr>  </choice> of our subjects, with free access to our royal person, and other marks of our <choice>   <orig>favour</orig>   <reg>favor</reg>  </choice>.</p>

Note

The conversion element is designed to store information about converting from one unit of measurement to another. The formula attribute holds an XPath expression that indicates how the measurement system in fromUnit is converted to the system in toUnit. Do not confuse the usage of the dating attributes (from and to) in the examples with the attributes (fromUnit and toUnit) designed to reference units of measure.

Example
<conversion fromUnit="#shilling"  toUnit="#penceformula="$fromUnit * 12from="1707"  to="1971"/>

1.53. <del>

<del> (deletion) contains a letter, word, or passage deleted, marked as deleted, or otherwise indicated as superfluous or spurious in the copy text by an author, scribe, or a previous annotator or corrector. [3.5.3. Additions, Deletions, and Omissions]
Modulecore
Attributes
Member of
Contained by
May contain
Note

This element should be used for deletion of shorter sequences of text, typically single words or phrases. The <delSpan> element should be used for longer sequences of text, for those containing structural subdivisions, and for those containing overlapping additions and deletions.

The text deleted must be at least partially legible in order for the encoder to be able to transcribe it (unless it is restored in a <supplied> tag). Illegible or lost text within a deletion may be marked using the <gap> tag to signal that text is present but has not been transcribed, or is no longer visible. Attributes on the <gap> element may be used to indicate how much text is omitted, the reason for omitting it, etc. If text is not fully legible, the <unclear> element (available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources) should be used to signal the areas of text which cannot be read with confidence in a similar way.

Degrees of uncertainty over what can still be read, or whether a deletion was intended may be indicated by use of the <certainty> element (see 22. Certainty, Precision, and Responsibility).

There is a clear distinction in the TEI between <del> and <surplus> on the one hand and <gap> or <unclear> on the other. <del> indicates a deletion present in the source being transcribed, which states the author's or a later scribe's intent to cancel or remove text. <surplus> indicates material present in the source being transcribed which should have been so deleted, but which is not in fact. <gap> or <unclear>, by contrast, signal an editor's or encoder's decision to omit something or their inability to read the source text. See sections 12.3.1.7. Text Omitted from or Supplied in the Transcription and 12.3.3.2. Use of the gap, del, damage, unclear, and supplied Elements in Combination for the relationship between these and other related elements used in detailed transcription.

core: head
Note

This element is intended primarily for use in document production or manipulation, rather than in the transcription of pre-existing materials; it makes it easier to specify the location of indices, tables of contents, etc., to be generated by text preparation or word processing software.

ExampleOne use for this element is to allow document preparation software to generate an index and insert it in the appropriate place in the output. The example below assumes that the indexName attribute on <index> elements in the text has been used to specify index entries for the two generated indexes, named NAMES and THINGS:
<back>  <div1 type="backmat">   <head>Bibliography</head> <!-- ... -->  </div1>  <div1 type="backmat">   <head>Indices</head>   <divGen n="Index Nominumtype="NAMES"/>   <divGen n="Index Rerumtype="THINGS"/>  </div1> </back>
ExampleAnother use for <divGen> is to specify the location of an automatically produced table of contents:
<front> <!--<titlePage>...</titlePage>-->  <divGen type="toc"/>  <div>   <head>Preface</head>   <p> ... </p>  </div> </front>

Personal food insecurity was assessed with        five additional questions. Obesity was defined, using physical        measurements, as body mass index (calculated as kg/m2) greater than        or equal to the age- and sex-specific 95th percentile of the Centers        for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts. Logistic        regressions adjusted for sex, race/ethnic group, poverty level, and        survey year were conducted to describe associations between obesity        and food insecurity.</p>   </div>   <div>    <head> RESULTS:</head>    <p>Obesity was significantly associated with personal food insecurity        for children aged 6 to 11 years (odds ratio=1.81; 95% CI 1.33 to        2.48), but not in children aged 2 to 5 years (odds ratio=0.88; 95%        CI 0.51 to 1.51). Child-level food insecurity was not associated        with obesity among 2- to 5-year-olds or 6- to 11-year-olds.</p>   </div>   <div>    <head> CONCLUSIONS:</head>    <p>Personal food insecurity is associated with an increased risk of        obesity only in children aged 6 to 11 years.

Attributes
typegives a name for the type of feature structure being declared.
StatusRequired
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
baseTypesgives the name of one or more typed feature structures from which this type inherits feature specifications and constraints; if this type includes a feature specification with the same name as that of any of those specified by this attribute, or if more than one specification of the same name is inherited, then the set of possible values is defined by unification. Similarly, the set of constraints applicable is derived by combining those specified explicitly within this element with those implied by the baseTypes attribute. When no baseTypes attribute is specified, no feature specification or constraint is inherited.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.name separated by whitespace
Note

Inheritance is defined here as a monotonous relation.

The process of combining constraints may result in a contradiction, for example if two specifications for the same feature specify disjoint ranges of values, and at least one such specification is mandatory. In such a case, there is no valid representative for the type being defined.

The <gap>, <unclear>, and <del> core tag elements may be closely allied in use with the <damage> and <supplied> elements, available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources.

The <gap> tag simply signals the editors decision to omit or inability to transcribe a span of text. Other information, such as the interpretation that text was deliberately erased or covered, should be indicated using the relevant tags, such as <del> in the case of deliberate deletion.

The mimeType attribute should be used to supply the MIME media type of the image specified by the url attribute.

Within the body of a text, a <graphic> element indicates the presence of a graphic component in the source itself. Within the context of a <facsimile> or <sourceDoc> element, however, a <graphic> element provides an additional digital representation of some part of the source being encoded.

Example
<figure>  <graphic url="fig1.png"/>  <head>Figure One: The View from the Bridge</head>  <figDesc>A Whistleresque view showing four or five sailing boats in the foreground, and a    series of buoys strung out between them.</figDesc> </figure>

1.98. <head>

<head> (heading) contains any type of heading, for example the title of a section, or the heading of a list, glossary, manuscript description, etc. [4.2.1. Headings and Trailers]
Modulecore
Attributes
Member of
Contained by
May contain
Note

The <head> element is used for headings at all levels; software which treats (e.g.) chapter headings, section headings, and list titles differently must determine the proper processing of a <head> element based on its structural position. A <head> occurring as the first element of a list is the title of that list; one occurring as the first element of a <div1> is the title of that chapter or section.

ExampleThe most common use for the <head> element is to mark the headings of sections. In older writings, the headings or incipits may be rather longer than usual in modern works. If a section has an explicit ending as well as a heading, it should be marked as a <trailer>, as in this example:
<div1 n="Itype="book">  <head>In the name of Christ here begins the first book of the ecclesiastical history of    Georgius Florentinus, known as Gregory, Bishop of Tours.</head>  <div2 type="section">   <head>In the name of Christ here begins Book I of the history.</head>   <p>Proposing as I do ...</p>   <p>From the Passion of our Lord until the death of Saint Martin four hundred and twelve      years passed.</p>   <trailer>Here ends the first Book, which covers five thousand, five hundred and ninety-six      years from the beginning of the world down to the death of Saint Martin.</trailer>  </div2> </div1>
ExampleWhen headings are not inline with the running text (see e.g. the heading "Secunda conclusio") they might however be encoded as if. The actual placement in the source document can be captured with the place attribute.
<div type="subsection">  <head place="margin">Secunda conclusio</head>  <p>   <lb n="1251"/>   <hi rend="large">Potencia: habitus: et actus: recipiunt speciem ab obiectis<supplied>.</supplied>   </hi>   <lb n="1252"/>Probatur sic. Omne importans necessariam habitudinem ad proprium    [...]  </p> </div>
ExampleThe <head> element is also used to mark headings of other units, such as lists:
With a few exceptions, connectives are equally useful in all kinds of discourse: description, narration, exposition, argument. <list rend="bulleted">  <head>Connectives</head>  <item>above</item>  <item>accordingly</item>  <item>across from</item>  <item>adjacent to</item>  <item>again</item>  <item> <!-- ... -->  </item> </list>

Whatever string of characters is used to label a list item in the copy text may be used as the value of the global n attribute, but it is not required that numbering be recorded explicitly. In ordered lists, the n attribute on the <item> element is by definition synonymous with the use of the <label> element to record the enumerator of the list item. In glossary lists, however, the term being defined should be given with the <label> element, not n.

The <join> element here identifies a linegroup (<lg>) comprising the three lines indicated by the target attribute. The value root for the scope attribute indicates that the resulting virtual element contains the three <l> elements linked to at #frog_l1 #frog_l2 #frog_l3, rather than their character data content.
ExampleIn this example, the attribute scope is specified with the value of branches to indicate that the virtual list being constructed is to be made by taking the lists indicated by the target attribute of the <join> element, discarding the <list> tags which enclose them, and combining the items contained within the lists into a single virtual list:
<p>Southern dialect (my own variety, at least) has only <list xml:id="LP1">   <item>    <s>I done gone</s>   </item>   <item>    <s>I done went</s>   </item>  </list> whereas Negro Non-Standard basilect has both these and <list xml:id="LP2">   <item>    <s>I done go</s>   </item>  </list>.</p> <p>White Southern dialect also has <list xml:id="LP3">   <item>    <s>I've done gone</s>   </item>   <item>    <s>I've done went</s>   </item>  </list> which, when they occur in Negro dialect, should probably be considered as borrowings from other varieties of English.</p> <join result="listxml:id="LST1"  target="#LP1 #LP2 #LP3scope="branches">  <desc>Sample sentences in Southern speech</desc> </join>

ExampleLabels are commonly used for the headwords in glossary lists; note the use of the global xml:lang attribute to set the default language of the glossary list to Middle English, and identify the glosses and headings as modern English or Latin:
<list type="glossxml:lang="enm">  <head xml:lang="en">Vocabulary</head>  <headLabel xml:lang="en">Middle English</headLabel>  <headItem xml:lang="en">New English</headItem>  <label>nu</label>  <item xml:lang="en">now</item>  <label>lhude</label>  <item xml:lang="en">loudly</item>  <label>bloweth</label>  <item xml:lang="en">blooms</item>  <label>med</label>  <item xml:lang="en">meadow</item>  <label>wude</label>  <item xml:lang="en">wood</item>  <label>awe</label>  <item xml:lang="en">ewe</item>  <label>lhouth</label>  <item xml:lang="en">lows</item>  <label>sterteth</label>  <item xml:lang="en">bounds, frisks (cf. <cit>    <ref>Chaucer, K.T.644</ref>    <quote>a courser, <term>sterting</term>as the fyr</quote>   </cit>  </item>  <label>verteth</label>  <item xml:lang="la">pedit</item>  <label>murie</label>  <item xml:lang="en">merrily</item>  <label>swik</label>  <item xml:lang="en">cease</item>  <label>naver</label>  <item xml:lang="en">never</item> </list>
ExampleLabels may also be used to record explicitly the numbers or letters which mark list items in ordered lists, as in this extract from Gibbon's Autobiography. In this usage the <label> element is synonymous with the n attribute on the <item> element:
I will add two facts, which have seldom occurred in the composition of six, or at least of five quartos. <list rend="runontype="ordered">  <label>(1)</label>  <item>My first rough manuscript, without any intermediate copy, has been sent to the press.</item>  <label>(2) </label>  <item>Not a sheet has been seen by any human eyes, excepting those of the author and the    printer: the faults and the merits are exclusively my own.</item> </list>
ExampleLabels may also be used for other structured list items, as in this extract from the journal of Edward Gibbon:
<list type="gloss">  <label>March 1757.</label>  <item>I wrote some critical observations upon Plautus.</item>  <label>March 8th.</label>  <item>I wrote a long dissertation upon some lines of Virgil.</item>  <label>June.</label>  <item>I saw Mademoiselle Curchod — <quote xml:lang="la">Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus      amori.</quote>  </item>  <label>August.</label>  <item>I went to Crassy, and staid two days.</item> </list>
Note that the <label> might also appear within the <item> rather than as its sibling. Though syntactically valid, this usage is not recommended TEI practice.
ExampleLabels may also be used to represent a label or heading attached to a paragraph or sequence of paragraphs not treated as a structural division, or to a group of verse lines. Note that, in this case, the <label> element appears within the <p> or <lg> element, rather than as a preceding sibling of it.
<p>[...] <lb/>&amp; n’entrer en mauuais &amp; mal-heu- <lb/>ré meſnage. Or des que le conſente- <lb/>ment des parties y eſt le mariage eſt <lb/> arreſté, quoy que de faict il ne ſoit <label place="margin">Puiſſance maritale    entre les Romains.</label>  <lb/> conſommé.

In this example the text of the label appears in the right hand margin of the original source, next to the paragraph it describes, but approximately in the middle of it. If so desired the type attribute may be used to distinguish different categories of label.

Modulecore
Attributes
Member of

May containEmpty element
Note

By convention, <lb> elements should appear at the point in the text where a new line starts. The n attribute, if used, indicates the number or other value associated with the text between this point and the next <lb> element, typically the sequence number of the line within the page, or other appropriate unit. This element is intended to be used for marking actual line breaks on a manuscript or printed page, at the point where they occur; it should not be used to tag structural units such as lines of verse (for which the <l> element is available) except in circumstances where structural units cannot otherwise be marked.

The type attribute may be used to characterize the line break in any respect. The more specialized attributes break, ed, or edRef should be preferred when the intent is to indicate whether or not the line break is word-breaking, or to note the source from which it derives.

ExampleThis example shows typographical line breaks within metrical lines, where they occur at different places in different editions:
<l>Of Mans First Disobedience,<lb ed="1674"/> and<lb ed="1667"/> the Fruit</l> <l>Of that Forbidden Tree, whose<lb ed="1667 1674"/> mortal tast</l> <l>Brought Death into the World,<lb ed="1667"/> and all<lb ed="1674"/> our woe,</l>
ExampleThis example encodes typographical line breaks as a means of preserving the visual appearance of a title page. The break attribute is used to show that the line break does not (as elsewhere) mark the start of a new word.
<titlePart>  <lb/>With Additions, ne-<lb break="no"/>ver before Printed. </titlePart>

Attributes
type(type) describes the nature of the items in the list.
Derived fromatt.typed
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Suggested values include:
gloss
(gloss) each list item glosses some term or concept, which is given by a <label> element preceding the list item.
index
(index) each list item is an entry in an index such as the alphabetical topical index at the back of a print volume.
instructions
(instructions) each list item is a step in a sequence of instructions, as in a recipe.
litany
(litany) each list item is one of a sequence of petitions, supplications or invocations, typically in a religious ritual.
syllogism
(syllogism) each list item is part of an argument consisting of two or more propositions and a final conclusion derived from them.
Note

Previous versions of these Guidelines recommended the use of type on <list> to encode the rendering or appearance of a list (whether it was bulleted, numbered, etc.). The current recommendation is to use the rend or style attributes for these aspects of a list, while using type for the more appropriate task of characterizing the nature of the content of a list.

The formal syntax of the element declarations allows <label> tags to be omitted from lists tagged <list type="gloss">; this is however a semantic error.

Note

May contain an optional heading followed by a series of items, or a series of label and item pairs, the latter being optionally preceded by one or two specialized headings.

ExampleThe following example treats the short numbered clauses of Anglo-Saxon legal codes as lists of items. The text is from an ordinance of King Athelstan (924–939):
<div1 type="section">  <head>Athelstan's Ordinance</head>  <list rend="numbered">   <item n="1">Concerning thieves. First, that no thief is to be spared who is caught with      the stolen goods, [if he is] over twelve years and [if the value of the goods is] over      eightpence.   <list rend="numbered">     <item n="1.1">And if anyone does spare one, he is to pay for the thief with his          wergild — and the thief is to be no nearer a settlement on that account — or to          clear himself by an oath of that amount.</item>     <item n="1.2">If, however, he [the thief] wishes to defend himself or to escape, he is          not to be spared [whether younger or older than twelve].</item>     <item n="1.3">If a thief is put into prison, he is to be in prison 40 days, and he may          then be redeemed with 120 shillings; and the kindred are to stand surety for him          that he will desist for ever.</item>     <item n="1.4">And if he steals after that, they are to pay for him with his wergild,          or to bring him back there.</item>     <item n="1.5">And if he steals after that, they are to pay for him with his wergild,          whether to the king or to him to whom it rightly belongs; and everyone of those who          supported him is to pay 120 shillings to the king as a fine.</item>    </list>   </item>   <item n="2">Concerning lordless men. And we pronounced about these lordless men, from whom      no justice can be obtained, that one should order their kindred to fetch back such a      person to justice and to find him a lord in public meeting.   <list rend="numbered">     <item n="2.1">And if they then will not, or cannot, produce him on that appointed day,          he is then to be a fugitive afterwards, and he who encounters him is to strike him          down as a thief.</item>     <item n="2.2">And he who harbours him after that, is to pay for him with his wergild          or to clear himself by an oath of that amount.</item>    </list>   </item>   <item n="3">Concerning the refusal of justice. The lord who refuses justice and upholds      his guilty man, so that the king is appealed to, is to repay the value of the goods and      120 shillings to the king; and he who appeals to the king before he demands justice as      often as he ought, is to pay the same fine as the other would have done, if he had      refused him justice.   <list rend="numbered">     <item n="3.1">And the lord who is an accessory to a theft by his slave, and it becomes          known about him, is to forfeit the slave and be liable to his wergild on the first          occasionp if he does it more often, he is to be liable to pay all that he owns.</item>     <item n="3.2">And likewise any of the king's treasurers or of our reeves, who has been          an accessory of thieves who have committed theft, is to liable to the same.</item>    </list>   </item>   <item n="4">Concerning treachery to a lord. And we have pronounced concerning treachery to      a lord, that he [who is accused] is to forfeit his life if he cannot deny it or is      afterwards convicted at the three-fold ordeal.</item>  </list> </div1>
Note that nested lists have been used so the tagging mirrors the structure indicated by the two-level numbering of the clauses. The clauses could have been treated as a one-level list with irregular numbering, if desired.
Example
<p>These decrees, most blessed Pope Hadrian, we propounded in the public council ... and they confirmed them in our hand in your stead with the sign of the Holy Cross, and afterwards inscribed with a careful pen on the paper of this page, affixing thus the sign of the Holy Cross. <list rend="simple">   <item>I, Eanbald, by the grace of God archbishop of the holy church of York, have      subscribed to the pious and catholic validity of this document with the sign of the Holy      Cross.</item>   <item>I, Ælfwold, king of the people across the Humber, consenting have subscribed with      the sign of the Holy Cross.</item>   <item>I, Tilberht, prelate of the church of Hexham, rejoicing have subscribed with the      sign of the Holy Cross.</item>   <item>I, Higbald, bishop of the church of Lindisfarne, obeying have subscribed with the      sign of the Holy Cross.</item>   <item>I, Ethelbert, bishop of Candida Casa, suppliant, have subscribed with thef sign of      the Holy Cross.</item>   <item>I, Ealdwulf, bishop of the church of Mayo, have subscribed with devout will.</item>   <item>I, Æthelwine, bishop, have subscribed through delegates.</item>   <item>I, Sicga, patrician, have subscribed with serene mind with the sign of the Holy      Cross.</item>  </list> </p>

Attributes
Member of

Note

It is possible to describe the content of the notation using elements from the model.labelLike class and it is possible to point to an external representation using elements from model.ptrLike. It is possible to specify the location of digital objects representing the notated music in other media such as images or audio-visual files. The encoder's interpretation of the correspondence between the notated music and these digital objects is not encoded explicitly. We recommend the use of graphic and binaryObject mainly as a fallback mechanism when the notated music format is not displayable by the application using the encoding. The alignment of encoded notated music, images carrying the notation, and audio files is a complex matter for which we refer the encoder to other formats and specifications such as MPEG-SMR.

It is also recommended, when useful, to embed XML-based music notation formats, such as the Music Encoding Initiative format as content of <notatedMusic>. This must be done by means of customization.

Example
<notatedMusic>  <ptr target="bar1.xml"/>  <graphic url="bar1.jpg"/>  <desc>First bar of Chopin's Scherzo No.3 Op.39</desc> </notatedMusic>

ExampleThe global n attribute may be used to supply the symbol or number used to mark the note's point of attachment in the source text, as in the following example:

<prefixDef> (prefix definition) defines a prefixing scheme used in teidata.pointer values, showing how abbreviated URIs using the scheme may be expanded into full URIs. [17.2.3. Using Abbreviated Pointers]
Moduleheader
Attributes
identsupplies a name which functions as the prefix for an abbreviated pointing scheme such as a private URI scheme. The prefix constitutes the text preceding the first colon.

Note

The abbreviated pointer may be dereferenced to produce either an absolute or a relative URI reference. In the latter case it is combined with the value of xml:base in force at the place where the pointing attribute occurs to form an absolute URI in the usual manner as prescribed by XML Base.

Example
<prefixDef ident="ref"  matchPattern="([a-z]+)"  replacementPattern="../../references/references.xml#$1">  <p> In the context of this project, private URIs with    the prefix "ref" point to <gi>div</gi> elements in    the project's global references.xml file.  </p> </prefixDef>

<rendition scheme="css"  selector="*[rend*=italic]"> font-style: italic; </rendition>
Note

Since the default value of the scheme attribute is assumed to be CSS, the default expectation for this attribute, in the absence of scheme, is that CSS selector syntax will be used.

While rendition is used to point from an element in the transcribed source to a <rendition> element in the header which describes how it appears, the selector attribute allows the encoder to point in the other direction: from a <rendition> in the header to a collection of elements which all share the same renditional features. In both cases, the intention is to record the appearance of the source text, not to prescribe any particular output rendering.

1.208. <term>

<term> (term) contains a single-word, multi-word, or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term. [3.4.1. Terms and Glosses]
Modulecore
Attributes
Member of
Contained by
May contain
Note

When this element appears within an <index> element, it is understood to supply the form under which an index entry is to be made for that location. Elsewhere, it is understood simply to indicate that its content is to be regarded as a technical or specialised term. It may be associated with a <gloss> element by means of its ref attribute; alternatively a <gloss> element may point to a <term> element by means of its target attribute.

In formal terminological work, there is frequently discussion over whether terms must be atomic or may include multi-word lexical items, symbolic designations, or phraseological units. The <term> element may be used to mark any of these. No position is taken on the philosophical issue of what a term can be; the looser definition simply allows the <term> element to be used by practitioners of any persuasion.

As with other members of the att.canonical class, instances of this element occuring in a text may be associated with a canonical definition, either by means of a URI (using the ref attribute), or by means of some system-specific code value (using the key attribute). Because the mutually exclusive target and cRef attributes overlap with the function of the ref attribute, they are deprecated and may be removed at a subsequent release.

Example
A computational device that infers structure from grammatical strings of words is known as a <term>parser</term>, and much of the history of NLP over the last 20 years has been occupied with the design of parsers.
Example
We may define <term xml:id="TDPV1rend="sc">discoursal point of view</term> as <gloss target="#TDPV1">the relationship, expressed through discourse structure, between the implied author or some other addresser, and the fiction.</gloss>
Example
We may define <term ref="#TDPV2rend="sc">discoursal point of view</term> as <gloss xml:id="TDPV2">the relationship, expressed through discourse structure, between the implied author or some other addresser, and the fiction.</gloss>
Example
We discuss Leech's concept of <term ref="myGlossary.xml#TDPV2rend="sc">discoursal point of view</term> below.

This attribute is provided for convenience in analysing titles and processing them according to their type; where such specialized processing is not necessary, there is no need for such analysis, and the entire title, including subtitles and any parallel titles, may be enclosed within a single <title> element.

levelindicates the bibliographic level for a title, that is, whether it identifies an article, book, journal, series, or unpublished material.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Legal values are:
a
(analytic) the title applies to an analytic item, such as an article, poem, or other work published as part of a larger item.
m
(monographic) the title applies to a monograph such as a book or other item considered to be a distinct publication, including single volumes of multi-volume works
j
(journal) the title applies to any serial or periodical publication such as a journal, magazine, or newspaper
s
(series) the title applies to a series of otherwise distinct publications such as a collection
u
(unpublished) the title applies to any unpublished material (including theses and dissertations unless published by a commercial press)
Note

The level of a title is sometimes implied by its context: for example, a title appearing directly within an <analytic> element is ipso facto of level ‘a’, and one appearing within a <series> element of level ‘s’. For this reason, the level attribute is not required in contexts where its value can be unambiguously inferred. Where it is supplied in such contexts, its value should not contradict the value implied by its parent element.

Note: The about attribute on the <rdf:Description> in this example gives a URI indicating the resource to which the metadata contained therein refer. The <rdf:Description> in the second <xenoData> block has a blank about, meaning it is pointing at the current document, so the RDF is about the document within which it is contained, i.e. the TEI document containing the <xenoData> block.

3. Attribute classes

3.1. att.anchoring

att.anchoring (anchoring) provides attributes for use on annotations, e.g. notes and groups of notes describing the existence and position of an anchor for annotations.
Moduletei
Membersnote noteGrp
Attributes
anchored(anchored) indicates whether the copy text shows the exact place of reference for the note.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.truthValue
Defaulttrue
Note

In modern texts, notes are usually anchored by means of explicit footnote or endnote symbols. An explicit indication of the phrase or line annotated may however be used instead (e.g. ‘page 218, lines 3–4’). The anchored attribute indicates whether any explicit location is given, whether by symbol or by prose cross-reference. The value true indicates that such an explicit location is indicated in the copy text; the value false indicates that the copy text does not indicate a specific place of attachment for the note. If the specific symbols used in the copy text at the location the note is anchored are to be recorded, use the n attribute.

targetEnd(target end) points to the end of the span to which the note is attached, if the note is not embedded in the text at that point.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

This attribute is retained for backwards compatibility; it may be removed at a subsequent release of the Guidelines. The recommended way of pointing to a span of elements is by means of the range function of XPointer, as further described in 17.2.4.6. range().

Example
<p>(...) tamen reuerendos dominos archiepiscopum et canonicos Leopolienses necnon episcopum in duplicibus Quatuortemporibus<anchor xml:id="A55234"/> totaliter expediui...</p> <!-- elsewhere in the document --> <noteGrp targetEnd="#A55234">  <note xml:lang="en"> Quatuor Tempora, so called dry fast days.  </note>  <note xml:lang="pl"> Quatuor Tempora, tzw. Suche dni postne.  </note> </noteGrp>

3.2. att.ascribed

att.ascribed provides attributes for elements representing speech or action that can be ascribed to a specific individual. [3.3.3. Quotation 8.3. Elements Unique to Spoken Texts]
Moduletei
Membersatt.ascribed.directed[q said sp stage] change
Attributes
whoindicates the person, or group of people, to whom the element content is ascribed.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
In the following example from Hamlet, speeches (<sp>) in the body of the play are linked to <role> elements in the <castList> using the who attribute.
<castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="Barnardo">Bernardo</role> </castItem> <castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="Francisco">Francisco</role>  <roleDesc>a soldier</roleDesc> </castItem> <!-- ... --> <sp who="#Barnardo">  <speaker>Bernardo</speaker>  <l n="1">Who's there?</l> </sp> <sp who="#Francisco">  <speaker>Francisco</speaker>  <l n="2">Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.</l> </sp>
Note

For transcribed speech, this will typically identify a participant or participant group; in other contexts, it will point to any identified <person> element.

3.3. att.ascribed.directed

att.ascribed.directed provides attributes for elements representing speech or action that can be directed at a group or individual. [3.3.3. Quotation 8.3. Elements Unique to Spoken Texts]
Moduletei
Membersq said sp stage
Attributes
toWhomindicates the person, or group of people, to whom a speech act or action is directed.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
In the following example from Mary Pix's The False Friend, speeches (<sp>) in the body of the play are linked to <castItem> elements in the <castList> using the toWhom attribute, which is used to specify who the speech is directed to. Additionally, the <stage> includes toWhom to indicate the directionality of the action.
<castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="emil">Emilius.</role> </castItem> <castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="lov">Lovisa</role> </castItem> <castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="serv">A servant</role> </castItem> <!-- ... --> <sp who="#emil"  toWhom="#lov">  <speaker>Emil.</speaker>  <l n="1">My love!</l> </sp> <sp who="#lov"  toWhom="#emil">  <speaker>Lov.</speaker>  <l n="2">I have no Witness of my Noble Birth</l>  <stage who="emil"   toWhom="#serv">Pointing to her Woman.</stage>  <l>But that poor helpless wretch——</l> </sp>
Note

To indicate the recipient of written correspondence, use the elements used in section 2.4.6. Correspondence Description, rather than a toWhom attribute.

3.4. att.breaking

att.breaking provides attributes to indicate whether or not the element concerned is considered to mark the end of an orthographic token in the same way as whitespace. [3.11.3. Milestone Elements]
Moduletei
Memberscb gb lb milestone pb
Attributes
breakindicates whether or not the element bearing this attribute should be considered to mark the end of an orthographic token in the same way as whitespace.
StatusRecommended
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Sample values include
yes
the element bearing this attribute is considered to mark the end of any adjacent orthographic token irrespective of the presence of any adjacent whitespace
no
the element bearing this attribute is considered not to mark the end of any adjacent orthographic token irrespective of the presence of any adjacent whitespace
maybe
the encoding does not take any position on this issue.
In the following lines from the Dream of the Rood, linebreaks occur in the middle of the words lāðost and reord-berendum.

3.5. att.cReferencing

att.cReferencing provides attributes that may be used to supply a canonical reference as a means of identifying the target of a pointer.
Moduletei
Membersgloss ptr ref term
Attributes
cRef(canonical reference) specifies the destination of the pointer by supplying a canonical reference expressed using the scheme defined in a <refsDecl> element in the TEI header
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Note

The value of cRef should be constructed so that when the algorithm for the resolution of canonical references (described in section 17.2.5. Canonical References) is applied to it the result is a valid URI reference to the intended target.

The <refsDecl> to use may be indicated with the decls attribute.

Currently these Guidelines only provide for a single canonical reference to be encoded on any given <ptr> element.

3.6. att.calendarSystem

att.calendarSystem provides attributes for indicating calendar systems to which a date belongs. [3.6.4. Dates and Times 14.4. Dates]
Moduletei
Membersdate docDate time
Attributes
calendarindicates one or more systems or calendars to which the date represented by the content of this element belongs.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Schematron
<sch:rule context="tei:*[@calendar]"> <sch:assert test="string-length( normalize-space(.) ) gt 0"> @calendar indicates one or more systems or calendars to which the date represented by the content of this element belongs, but this <sch:name/> element has no textual content.</sch:assert> </sch:rule>
He was born on <date calendar="#gregorian">Feb. 22, 1732</date> (<date calendar="#julian"  when="1732-02-22">Feb. 11, 1731/32, O.S.</date>).
He was born on <date calendar="#gregorian #julian"  when="1732-02-22">Feb. 22, 1732 (Feb. 11, 1731/32, O.S.)</date>.
Note

Note that the calendar attribute declares the calendar system used to interpret the textual content of an element, as it appears on an original source. It does not modify the interpretation of the normalization attributes provided by att.datable.w3c, att.datable.iso, or att.datable.custom. Attributes from those first two classes are always interpreted as Gregorian or proleptic Gregorian dates, as per the respective standards on which they are based. The calender system used to interpret the last (att.datable.custom) may be specified with datingMethod.

3.7. att.canonical

att.canonical provides attributes that can be used to associate a representation such as a name or title with canonical information about the object being named or referenced. [14.1.1. Linking Names and Their Referents]
Moduletei
Membersatt.naming[att.personal[name] author editor pubPlace rs] authority catDesc correspDesc date distributor docAuthor docTitle funder meeting principal publisher resp respStmt sponsor term time title unitDecl unitDef
Attributes
keyprovides an externally-defined means of identifying the entity (or entities) being named, using a coded value of some kind.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
<author>  <name key="Hugo, Victor (1802-1885)"   ref="http://www.idref.fr/026927608">Victor Hugo</name> </author>
Note

The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or any other externally-defined string identifying the referent. No particular syntax is proposed for the values of the key attribute, since its form will depend entirely on practice within a given project.

ref(reference) provides an explicit means of locating a full definition or identity for the entity being named by means of one or more URIs.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
<name ref="http://viaf.org/viaf/109557338"  type="person">Seamus Heaney</name>
Note

The value must point directly to one or more XML elements or other resources by means of one or more URIs, separated by whitespace. If more than one is supplied the implication is that the name identifies several distinct entities.

ExampleIn this contrived example, a canonical reference to the same organisation is provided in four different ways.
<author n="1">  <name ref="http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/name-427308.html"   type="organisation">New Zealand Parliament, Legislative Council</name> </author>   <author n="2">  <name ref="nzvn:427308"   type="organisation">New Zealand Parliament, Legislative Council</name> </author>   <author n="3">  <name ref="./named_entities.xml#o427308"   type="organisation">New Zealand Parliament, Legislative Council</name> </author>   <author n="4">  <name key="name-427308"   type="organisation">New Zealand Parliament, Legislative Council</name> </author>
The first presumes the availability of an internet connection and a processor that can resolve a URI (most can). The second requires, in addition, a <prefixDef> that declares how the nzvm prefix should be interpreted. The third does not require an internet connection, but does require that a file named named_entities.xml be in the same directory as the TEI document. The fourth requires that an entire external system for key resolution be available.
Note

The key attribute is more flexible and general-purpose, but its use in interchange requires that documentation about how the key is to be resolved be sent to the recipient of the TEI document. In contrast values of the ref attribute are resolved using the widely accepted protocols for a URI, and thus less documentation, if any, is likely required by the recipient in data interchange.

These guidelines provide no semantic basis or suggested precedence when both key and ref are provided. For this reason simultaneous use of both is not recommended unless documentation explaining the use is provided, probably in an ODD customizaiton, for interchange.

3.8. att.citeStructurePart

att.citeStructurePart provides attributes for selecting particular elements within a document.
Moduleheader
MembersciteData citeStructure
Attributes
use(use) supplies an XPath selection pattern using the syntax defined in [[undefined XSLT3]]. The XPath pattern is relative to the context given in match, which will either be a sibling attribute in the case of <citeStructure> or on the parent <citeStructure> in the case of <citeData>.
StatusRequired

3.11. att.datable

att.datable provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain dates, times, or datable events. [3.6.4. Dates and Times 14.4. Dates]
Moduletei

Attributes

StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

This ‘superclass’ provides attributes that can be used to provide normalized values of temporal information. By default, the attributes from the att.datable.w3c class are provided. If the module for names & dates is loaded, this class also provides attributes from the att.datable.iso and att.datable.custom classes. In general, the possible values of attributes restricted to the W3C datatypes form a subset of those values available via the ISO 8601 standard. However, the greater expressiveness of the ISO datatypes may not be needed, and there exists much greater software support for the W3C datatypes.

3.12. att.datable.w3c

att.datable.w3c provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain datable events conforming to the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition. [3.6.4. Dates and Times 14.4. Dates]

Note

The value of these attributes should be a normalized representation of the date, time, or combined date & time intended, in any of the standard formats specified by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, using the Gregorian calendar.

The most commonly-encountered format for the date portion of a temporal attribute is yyyy-mm-dd, but yyyy, --mm, ---dd, yyyy-mm, or --mm-dd may also be used. For the time part, the form hh:mm:ss is used.

Note that this format does not currently permit use of the value 0000 to represent the year 1 BCE; instead the value -0001 should be used.

3.13. att.datcat

att.datcat provides attributes that are used to align XML elements or attributes with the appropriate Data Categories (DCs) defined by an external taxonomy, in this way establishing the identity of information containers and values, and providing means of interpreting them. [10.5.2. Lexical View 19.3. Other Atomic Feature Values]
Moduletei
Membersatt.segLike[c m pc phr s seg w] category f fDecl fs fsDecl numeric string symbol tagUsage taxonomy
Attributes
datcatprovides a pointer to a definition of, and/or general information about, (a) an information container (element or attribute) or (b) a value of an information container (element content or attribute value), by referencing an external taxonomy or ontology. If valueDatcat is present in the immediate context, this attribute takes on role (a), while valueDatcat performs role (b).
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
valueDatcatprovides a definition of, and/or general information about a value of an information container (element content or attribute value), by reference to an external taxonomy or ontology. Used especially where a contrast with datcat is needed.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
targetDatcatprovides a definition of, and/or general information about, information structure of an object referenced or modeled by the containing element, by reference to an external taxonomy or ontology. This attribute has the characteristics of the datcat attribute, except that it addresses not its containing element, but an object that is being referenced or modeled by its containing element.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
ExampleThe example below presents the TEI encoding of the name-value pair <part of speech, common noun>, where the name (key) ‘part of speech’ is abbreviated as ‘POS’, and the value, ‘common noun’ is symbolized by ‘NN’. The entire name-value pair is encoded by means of the element <f>. In TEI XML, that element acts as the container, labeled with the name attribute. Its contents may be complex or simple. In the case at hand, the content is the symbol ‘NN’.The datcat attribute relates the feature name (i.e., the key) to the data category ‘part of speech’, while the attribute valueDatcat relates the feature value to the data category common noun. Both these data categories should be defined in an external and preferably open reference taxonomy or ontology.
<fs>  <f name="POS"   datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3">   <symbol valueDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545"    value="NN"/>  </f> <!-- ... --> </fs>
‘NN’ is the symbol for common noun used e.g. in the CLAWS-7 tagset defined by the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language at the University of Lancaster. The very same data category used for tagging an early version of the British National Corpus, and coming from the BNC Basic (C5) tagset, uses the symbol ‘NN0’ (rather than ‘NN’). Making these values semantically interoperable would be extremely difficult without a human expert if they were not anchored in a single point of an established reference taxonomy of morphosyntactic data categories. In the case at hand, the string http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545 is both a persistent identifier of the data category in question, as well as a pointer to a shared definition of common noun.While the symbols ‘NN’, ‘NN0’, and many others (often coming from languages other than English) are implicitly members of the container category ‘part of speech’, it is sometimes useful not to rely on such an implicit relationship but rather use an explicit identifier for that data category, to distinguish it from other morphosyntactic data categories, such as gender, tense, etc. For that purpose, the above example uses the datcat attribute to reference a definition of part of speech. The reference taxonomy in this example is the CLARIN Concept Registry.If the feature structure markup exemplified above is to be repeated many times in a single document, it is much more efficient to gather the persistent identifiers in a single place and to only reference them, implicitly or directly, from feature structure markup. The following example is much more concise than the one above and relies on the concepts of feature structure declaration and feature value library, discussed in chapter [[undefined FS]].
<fs>  <f name="POSfVal="#commonNoun"/> <!-- ... --> </fs>
The assumption here is that the relevant feature values are collected in a place that the annotation document in question has access to — preferably, a single document per linguistic resource, for example an <fsdDecl> that is XIncluded as a sibling of <text> or a child of <encodingDesc>; a <taxonomy> available resource-wide (e.g., in a shared header) is also an option.The example below presents an <fvLib> element that collects the relevant feature values (most of them omitted). At the same time, this example shows one way of encoding a tagset, i.e., an established inventory of values of (in the case at hand) morphosyntactic categories.
<fvLib n="POS values">  <symbol xml:id="commonNounvalue="NN"   datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3"/>  <symbol xml:id="properNounvalue="NP"   datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1371_fbebd9ec-a7f4-9a36-d6e9-88ee16b944ae"/> <!-- ... --> </fvLib>
Note that these Guidelines do not prescribe a specific choice between datcat and valueDatcat in such cases. The former is the generic way of referencing a data category, whereas the latter is more specific, in that it references a data category that represents a value. The choice between them comes into play where a single element — or a tight element complex, such as the <f>/<symbol> complex illustrated above — make it necessary or useful to distinguish between the container data category and its value.
ExampleIn the context of dictionaries designed with semantic interoperability in mind, the following example ensures that the <pos> element is interpreted as the same information container as in the case of the example of <f name="POS"> above.
<gramGrp>  <pos datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3"   valueDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545">NN</pos> </gramGrp>
Efficiency of this type of interoperable markup demands that the references to the particular data categories should best be provided in a single place within the dictionary (or a single place within the project), rather than being repeated inside every entry. For the container elements, this can be achieved at the level of <tagUsage>, although here, the valueDatcat attribute should be used, because it is not the <tagUsage> element that is associated with the relevant data category, but rather the element <pos> (or <case>, etc.) that is described by <tagUsage>:

Another possibility is to shorten the URIs by means of the <prefixDef> mechanism, as illustrated below:
<listPrefixDef>  <prefixDef ident="ccrmatchPattern="pos"   replacementPattern="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3"/>  <prefixDef ident="ccrmatchPattern="adj"   replacementPattern="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1230_23653c21-fca1-edf8-fd7c-3df2d6499157"/> </listPrefixDef> <!-- ... --> <entry> <!--...-->  <form>   <orth>isotope</orth>  </form>  <gramGrp>   <pos datcat="ccr:pos"    valueDatcat="ccr:adj">adj</pos>  </gramGrp> <!--...--> </entry>
This mechanism creates implications that are not always wanted, among others, in the case at hand, suggesting that the identifiers ‘pos’ and ‘adj’ belong to a namespace associated with the CLARIN Concept Repository (CCR), whereas that is solely a shorthand mechanism whose scope is the current resource. Documenting this clearly in the header of the dictionary is therefore advised.Yet another possibility is to associate the information about the relationship between a TEI markup element and the data category that it is intended to model already at the level of modeling the dictionary resource, that is, at the level of the ODD, in the <equiv> element that is a child of <elementSpec> or <attDef>.
ExampleThe <taxonomy> element is a handy tool for encoding taxonomies that are later referenced by att.datcat attributes, but it can also act as an intermediary device, for example holding a fragment of an external taxonomy (or ‘flattening’ an external ontology) that is relevant to the project or document at hand. (It is also imaginable that, for the purpose of the project at hand, the local <taxonomy> element combines vocabularies that originate from more than one external taxonomy or ontology.) In such cases, the <taxonomy> creates a local layer of indirection: the att.datcat attributes internal to the resource may reference the <category> elements stored in the header (as well as the <taxonomy> element itself), whereas these same <category> and <taxonomy> elements use att.datcat attributes to reference the original taxonomy or ontology.
<encodingDesc> <!-- ... -->  <classDecl> <!-- ... -->   <taxonomy xml:id="UD-SYN"    datcat="https://universaldependencies.org/u/dep/index.html">    <desc>     <term>UD syntactic relations</term>    </desc>    <category xml:id="acl"     valueDatcat="https://universaldependencies.org/u/dep/acl.html">     <catDesc>      <term>acl</term>: Clausal modifier of noun (adjectival clause)</catDesc>    </category>    <category xml:id="acl_relcl"     valueDatcat="https://universaldependencies.org/u/dep/acl-relcl.html">     <catDesc>      <term>acl:relcl</term>: relative clause modifier</catDesc>    </category>    <category xml:id="advcl"     valueDatcat="https://universaldependencies.org/u/dep/advcl.html">     <catDesc>      <term>advcl</term>: Adverbial clause modifier</catDesc>    </category> <!-- ... -->   </taxonomy>  </classDecl> </encodingDesc>
The above fragment was excerpted from the GB subset of the ParlaMint project in April 2023, and enriched with att.datcat attributes for the purpose of illustrating the mechanism described here.Note that, in the ideal case, the values of att.datcat attributes should be persistent identifiers, and that the addressing scheme of Universal Dependencies is treated here as persistent for the sake of illustration. Note also that the contrast between datcat used on <taxonomy> on the one hand, and the valueDatcat used on <category> on the other, is not mandatory: both kinds of relations could be encoded by means of the generic datcat attribute, but using the former for the container and the latter for the content is more user-friendly.
ExampleThe targetDatcat attribute is designed to be used in, e.g., feature structure declarations, and is analogous to the targetLang attribute of the att.pointing class, in that it describes the object that is being referenced, rather than the referencing object.
<fDecl name="POS"  targetDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3">  <fDescr>part of speech (morphosyntactic category)</fDescr>  <vRange>   <vAlt>    <symbol value="NN"     datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545"/>    <symbol value="NP"     datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1371_fbebd9ec-a7f4-9a36-d6e9-88ee16b944ae"/> <!-- ... -->   </vAlt>  </vRange> </fDecl>
Above, the <fDecl> uses targetDatcat, because if it were to use datcat, it would be asserting that it is an instance of the container data category part of speech, whereas it is not — it models a container (<f>) that encodes a part of speech. Note also that it is the <f> that is modeled above, not its values, which are used as direct references to data categories; hence the use of datcat in the <symbol> element.
ExampleThe att.datcat attributes can be used for any sort of taxonomies. The example below illustrates their usefulness for describing usage domain labels in dictionaries on the example of the Diccionario da Lingua Portugueza by António de Morais Silva, retro-digitised in the MORDigital project.
<!-- in the dictionary header --><encodingDesc>  <classDecl>   <taxonomy xml:id="domains"> <!--...-->    <category xml:id="domain.medical_and_health_sciences">     <catDesc xml:lang="en">Medical and Health Sciences</catDesc>     <catDesc xml:lang="pt">Ciências Médicas e da Saúde</catDesc>     <category xml:id="domain.medical_and_health_sciences.medicine"      valueDatcat="https://vocabs.rossio.fcsh.unl.pt/pub/morais_domains/pt/page/0025">      <catDesc xml:lang="en">       <term>Medicine</term>       <gloss> <!--...-->       </gloss>      </catDesc>      <catDesc xml:lang="pt">       <term>Medicina</term>       <gloss> <!--...-->       </gloss>      </catDesc>     </category>    </category> <!--...-->   </taxonomy>  </classDecl> </encodingDesc> <!-- inside an <entry> element: --> <usg type="domain"  valueDatcat="#domain.medical_and_health_sciences.medicine">Med.</usg>
In the Morais dictionary, the relevant domain labels are in the header, getting referenced inside the dictionary, from <usg> elements. The vocabulary used for dictionary-internal labelling is in turn anchored in the MorDigital controlled vocabulary service of the NOVA University of Lisbon – School of Social Sciences and Humanities (NOVA FCSH).
Note

The TEI Abstract Model can be expressed as a hierarchy of attribute-value matrices (AVMs) of various types and of various levels of complexity, nested or grouped in various ways. At the most abstract level, an AVM consists of an information container and the value (contents) of that container.

A simple example of an XML serialization of such structures is, on the one hand, the opening and closing tags that delimit and name the container, and, on the other, the content enclosed by the two tags that constitues the value. An analogous example is an attribute name and the value of that attribute.

In a TEI XML example of two equivalent serializations expressing the name-value pair <part-of-speech,common-noun>, namely <pos>commonNoun</pos> and pos="common-noun", one would classify the element <pos> and the attribute pos as containers (mapping onto the first member of the relevant name-value pair), while the character data content of <pos> or the value of pos would be seen as mapping onto the second member of the pair.

The att.datcat class provides means of addressing the containers and their values, while at the same time providing a way to interpret them in the context of external taxonomies or ontologies. Aligning e.g. both the <pos> element and the pos attribute with the same value of an external reference point (i.e., an entry in an agreed taxonomy) affirms the identity of the concept serialised by both the element container and the attribute container, and optionally provides a definition of that concept (in the case at hand, the concept part of speech).

The value of the att.datcat attributes should be a PID (persistent identifier) that points to a specific — and, ideally, shared — taxonomy or ontology. Among the resources that can, to a lesser or greater extent, be used as inventories of (more or less) standardized linguistic categories are the GOLD ontology, CLARIN CCR, OLiA, or TermWeb's DatCatInfo, and also the Universal Dependencies inventory, on the assumption that its URIs are going to persist. It is imaginable that a project may choose to address a local taxonomy store instead, but this risks losing the advantage of interchangeability with other projects.

Historically, datcat and valueDatcat originate from the (now obsolete) ISO 12620:2009 standard, describing the data model and procedures for a Data Category Registry (DCR). The current version of that standard, ISO 12620-1, does not standardize the serialization of pointers, merely mentioning the TEI att.datcat as an example.

Note that no constraint prevents the occurrence of a combination of att.datcat attributes: the <fDecl> element, which is a natural bearer of the targetDatcat attribute, is an instance of a specific modeling element, and, in principle, could be semantically fixed by an appropriate reference taxonomy of modeling devices.

Note

This attribute class provides formula for use in defining a value used in mathematical calculation. It can be used to store a mathematical operation needed to convert from one system of measurement to another. We use the teidata.xpath datatype to express this value in order to communicate mathematical operations on an XML node or nodes. The $fromUnit variable notation simplifies referencing of the fromUnit attribute on the parent <conversion> element. Note that ‘div’ is required to express the division operator in XPath.

3.22. att.fragmentable

xml:id(identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.
StatusOptional
DatatypeID
Note

The xml:id attribute may be used to specify a canonical reference for an element; see section 3.11. Reference Systems.

n(number) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not necessarily unique within the document.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Note

The value of this attribute is always understood to be a single token, even if it contains space or other punctuation characters, and need not be composed of numbers only. It is typically used to specify the numbering of chapters, sections, list items, etc.; it may also be used in the specification of a standard reference system for the text.

xml:lang(language) indicates the language of the element content using a ‘tag’ generated according to BCP 47.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.language
<p> … The consequences of this rapid depopulation were the loss of the last <foreign xml:lang="rap">ariki</foreign> or chief (Routledge 1920:205,210) and their connections to ancestral territorial organization.</p>
Note

The xml:lang value will be inherited from the immediately enclosing element, or from its parent, and so on up the document hierarchy. It is generally good practice to specify xml:lang at the highest appropriate level, noticing that a different default may be needed for the <teiHeader> from that needed for the associated resource element or elements, and that a single TEI document may contain texts in many languages.

Only attributes with free text values (rare in these guidelines) will be in the scope of xml:lang.

The authoritative list of registered language subtags is maintained by IANA and is available at https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry. For a good general overview of the construction of language tags, see https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/, and for a practical step-by-step guide, see https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-language-tags.en.php.

The value used must conform with BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-), a <language> element with a matching value for its ident attribute should be supplied in the TEI header to document this value. Such documentation may also optionally be supplied for non-private-use codes, though these must remain consistent with their (IETF)Internet Engineering Task Force definitions.

xml:baseprovides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
StatusOptional

Attributes
corresp(corresponds) points to elements that correspond to the current element in some way.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
<group>  <text xml:id="t1-g1-t1"   xml:lang="mi">   <body xml:id="t1-g1-t1-body1">    <div type="chapter">     <head>He Whakamaramatanga mo te Ture Hoko, Riihi hoki, i nga Whenua Maori, 1876.</head>     <p></p>    </div>   </body>  </text>  <text xml:id="t1-g1-t2"   xml:lang="en">   <body xml:id="t1-g1-t2-body1"    corresp="#t1-g1-t1-body1">    <div type="chapter">     <head>An Act to regulate the Sale, Letting, and Disposal of Native Lands, 1876.</head>     <p></p>    </div>   </body>  </text> </group>
In this example a <group> contains two <text>s, each containing the same document in a different language. The correspondence is indicated using corresp. The language is indicated using xml:lang, whose value is inherited; both the tag with the corresp and the tag pointed to by the corresp inherit the value from their immediate parent.
<!-- In a placeography called "places.xml" --><place xml:id="LOND1"  corresp="people.xml#LOND2 people.xml#GENI1">  <placeName>London</placeName>  <desc>The city of London...</desc> </place> <!-- In a literary personography called "people.xml" --> <person xml:id="LOND2"  corresp="places.xml#LOND1 #GENI1">  <persName type="lit">London</persName>  <note>   <p>Allegorical character representing the city of <placeName ref="places.xml#LOND1">London</placeName>.</p>  </note> </person> <person xml:id="GENI1"  corresp="places.xml#LOND1 #LOND2">  <persName type="lit">London’s Genius</persName>  <note>   <p>Personification of London’s genius. Appears as an      allegorical character in mayoral shows.   </p>  </note> </person>
In this example, a <place> element containing information about the city of London is linked with two <person> elements in a literary personography. This correspondence represents a slightly looser relationship than the one in the preceding example; there is no sense in which an allegorical character could be substituted for the physical city, or vice versa, but there is obviously a correspondence between them.
synch(synchronous) points to elements that are synchronous with the current element.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
sameAspoints to an element that is the same as the current element.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
copyOfpoints to an element of which the current element is a copy.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
Note

Any content of the current element should be ignored. Its true content is that of the element being pointed at.

nextpoints to the next element of a virtual aggregate of which the current element is part.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
Note

It is recommended that the element indicated be of the same type as the element bearing this attribute.

prev(previous) points to the previous element of a virtual aggregate of which the current element is part.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
Note

It is recommended that the element indicated be of the same type as the element bearing this attribute.

excludepoints to elements that are in exclusive alternation with the current element.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
selectselects one or more alternants; if one alternant is selected, the ambiguity or uncertainty is marked as resolved. If more than one alternant is selected, the degree of ambiguity or uncertainty is marked as reduced by the number of alternants not selected.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

This attribute should be placed on an element which is superordinate to all of the alternants from which the selection is being made.

3.26. att.global.rendition

att.global.rendition provides rendering attributes common to all elements in the TEI encoding scheme. [1.3.1.1.3. Rendition Indicators]

Attributes
rend(rendition) indicates how the element in question was rendered or presented in the source text.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.word separated by whitespace
<head rend="align(center) case(allcaps)">  <lb/>To The <lb/>Duchesse <lb/>of <lb/>Newcastle, <lb/>On Her <lb/>  <hi rend="case(mixed)">New Blazing-World</hi>. </head>
Note

These Guidelines make no binding recommendations for the values of the rend attribute; the characteristics of visual presentation vary too much from text to text and the decision to record or ignore individual characteristics varies too much from project to project. Some potentially useful conventions are noted from time to time at appropriate points in the Guidelines. The values of the rend attribute are a set of sequence-indeterminate individual tokens separated by whitespace.

stylecontains an expression in some formal style definition language which defines the rendering or presentation used for this element in the source text
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
<head style="text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps">  <lb/>To The <lb/>Duchesse <lb/>of <lb/>Newcastle, <lb/>On Her <lb/>  <hi style="font-variant: normal">New Blazing-World</hi>. </head>
Note

Unlike the attribute values of rend, which uses whitespace as a separator, the style attribute may contain whitespace. This attribute is intended for recording inline stylistic information concerning the source, not any particular output.

The formal language in which values for this attribute are expressed may be specified using the <styleDefDecl> element in the TEI header.

If style and rendition are both present on an element, then style overrides or complements rendition. style should not be used in conjunction with rend, because the latter does not employ a formal style definition language.

renditionpoints to a description of the rendering or presentation used for this element in the source text.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
<head rendition="#ac #sc">  <lb/>To The <lb/>Duchesse <lb/>of <lb/>Newcastle, <lb/>On Her <lb/>  <hi rendition="#normal">New Blazing-World</hi>. </head> <!-- elsewhere... --> <rendition xml:id="sc"  scheme="css">font-variant: small-caps</rendition> <rendition xml:id="normal"  scheme="css">font-variant: normal</rendition> <rendition xml:id="ac"  scheme="css">text-align: center</rendition>
Note

The rendition attribute is used in a very similar way to the class attribute defined for XHTML but with the important distinction that its function is to describe the appearance of the source text, not necessarily to determine how that text should be presented on screen or paper.

If rendition is used to refer to a style definition in a formal language like CSS, it is recommended that it not be used in conjunction with rend. Where both rendition and rend are supplied, the latter is understood to override or complement the former.

Each URI provided should indicate a <rendition> element defining the intended rendition in terms of some appropriate style language, as indicated by the scheme attribute.

3.27. att.global.responsibility

att.global.responsibility provides attributes indicating the agent responsible for some aspect of the text, the markup or something asserted by the markup, and the degree of certainty associated with it. [1.3.1.1.4. Sources, certainty, and responsibility 3.5. Simple Editorial Changes 12.3.2.2. Hand, Responsibility, and Certainty Attributes 18.3. Spans and Interpretations 14.1.1.

Attributes
cert(certainty) signifies the degree of certainty associated with the intervention or interpretation.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.probCert
resp(responsible party) indicates the agency responsible for the intervention or interpretation, for example an editor or transcriber.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

To reduce the ambiguity of a resp pointing directly to a person or organization, we recommend that resp be used to point not to an agent (<person> or <org>) but to a <respStmt>, <author>, <editor> or similar element which clarifies the exact role played by the agent. Pointing to multiple <respStmt>s allows the encoder to specify clearly each of the roles played in part of a TEI file (creating, transcribing, encoding, editing, proofing etc.).

Example
Blessed are the <choice>  <sic>cheesemakers</sic>  <corr resp="#editorcert="high">peacemakers</corr> </choice>: for they shall be called the children of God.
Example
<!-- in the <text> ... --><lg> <!-- ... -->  <l>Punkes, Panders, baſe extortionizing    sla<choice>    <sic>n</sic>    <corr resp="#JENS1_transcriber">u</corr>   </choice>es,</l> <!-- ... --> </lg> <!-- in the <teiHeader> ... --> <!-- ... --> <respStmt xml:id="JENS1_transcriber">  <resp when="2014">Transcriber</resp>  <name>Janelle Jenstad</name> </respStmt>

3.28. att.global.source

att.global.source provides attributes used by elements to point to an external source. [1.3.1.1.4. Sources, certainty, and responsibility 3.3.3. Quotation 8.3.4. Writing]

Attributes
sourcespecifies the source from which some aspect of this element is drawn.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Schematron
<sch:rule context="tei:*[@source]"> <sch:let name="srcs"  value="tokenize( normalize-space(@source),' ')"/> <sch:report test="( self::tei:classRef | self::tei:dataRef | self::tei:elementRef | self::tei:macroRef | self::tei:moduleRef | self::tei:schemaSpec ) and $srcs[2]"> When used on a schema description element (like <sch:value-of select="name(.)"/>), the @source attribute should have only 1 value. (This one has <sch:value-of select="count($srcs)"/>.) </sch:report> </sch:rule>
Note

The source attribute points to an external source. When used on an element describing a schema component (<classRef>, <dataRef>, <elementRef>, <macroRef>, <moduleRef>, or <schemaSpec>), it identifies the source from which declarations for the components should be obtained.

On other elements it provides a pointer to the bibliographical source from which a quotation or citation is drawn.

In either case, the location may be provided using any form of URI, for example an absolute URI, a relative URI, a private scheme URI of the form tei:x.y.z, where x.y.z indicates the version number, e.g. tei:4.3.2 for TEI P5 release 4.3.2 or (as a special case) tei:current for whatever is the latest release, or a private scheme URI that is expanded to an absolute URI as documented in a <prefixDef>.

When used on elements describing schema components, source should have only one value; when used on other elements multiple values are permitted.

Example
<p> <!-- ... --> As Willard McCarty (<bibl xml:id="mcc_2012">2012, p.2</bibl>) tells us, <quote source="#mcc_2012">‘Collaboration’ is a problematic and should be a contested    term.</quote> <!-- ... --> </p>
Example
<p> <!-- ... -->  <quote source="#chicago_15_ed">Grammatical theories are in flux, and the more we learn, the    less we seem to know.</quote> <!-- ... --> </p> <!-- ... --> <bibl xml:id="chicago_15_ed">  <title level="m">The Chicago Manual of Style</title>, <edition>15th edition</edition>. <pubPlace>Chicago</pubPlace>: <publisher>University of    Chicago Press</publisher> (<date>2003</date>), <biblScope unit="page">p.147</biblScope>. </bibl>
Example
<elementRef key="psource="tei:2.0.1"/>
Include in the schema an element named <p> available from the TEI P5 2.0.1 release.
Example
<schemaSpec ident="myODD"  source="mycompiledODD.xml"> <!-- further declarations specifying the components required --> </schemaSpec>
Create a schema using components taken from the file mycompiledODD.xml.

3.29. att.handFeatures

att.handFeatures provides attributes describing aspects of the hand in which a manuscript is written. [12.3.2.1. Document Hands]
Moduletei
MembersscriptNote

Note

Usually either script or scriptRef, and similarly, either scribe or scribeRef, will be supplied.

3.30. att.internetMedia

att.internetMedia provides attributes for specifying the type of a computer resource using a standard taxonomy.
Moduletei
Membersatt.media[binaryObject graphic media] ptr ref
Attributes
mimeType(MIME media type) specifies the applicable multimedia internet mail extension (MIME) media type
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.word separated by whitespace
ExampleIn this example mimeType is used to indicate that the URL points to a TEI XML file encoded in UTF-8.
<ref mimeType="application/tei+xml; charset=UTF-8"  target="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TEIC/TEI/dev/P5/Source/guidelines-en.xml"/>
Note

This attribute class provides an attribute for describing a computer resource, typically available over the internet, using a value taken from a standard taxonomy. At present only a single taxonomy is supported, the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Media Type system. This typology of media types is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force in RFC 2046. The list of types is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The mimeType attribute must have a value taken from this list.

3.31. att.interpLike

att.interpLike provides attributes for elements which represent a formal analysis or interpretation. [18.2. Global Attributes for Simple Analyses]
Moduletei
Membersspan
Attributes
typeindicates what kind of phenomenon is being noted in the passage.
StatusRecommended
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
image
identifies an image in the passage.
character
identifies a character associated with the passage.
theme
identifies a theme in the passage.
allusion
identifies an allusion to another text.
subtype(subtype) provides a sub-categorization of the phenomenon is being noted in the passage, if needed
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Note

The subtype attribute may be used to provide any sub-classification for the element additional to that provided by its type attribute.

inst(instances) points to instances of the analysis or interpretation represented by the current element.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

The current element should be an analytic one. The element pointed at should be a textual one.

3.32. att.lexicographic.normalized

att.lexicographic.normalized provides attributes for usage within word-level elements in the analysis module and within lexicographic microstructure in the dictionaries module.
Moduleanalysis
Membersatt.linguistic[pc w]
Attributes
norm(normalized) provides the normalized/standardized form of information present in the source text in a non-normalized form
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Normalization of part-of-speech information within a dictionary entry.
<gramGrp>  <pos norm="noun">n</pos> </gramGrp>
Normalization of a source form in a tokenized historical corpus.
<s>  <w>for</w>  <w norm="virtue's">vertues</w>  <w>sake</w> </s>
<s>  <w norm="persuasion">perswasion</w>  <w>of</w>  <w norm="Unity">Vnitie</w> </s>
Example of normalization from Aviso. Relation oder Zeitung. Wolfenbüttel, 1609. In: Deutsches Textarchiv.
<s>  <w norm="freiwillig">freywillig</w>  <pc norm=","   join="left">/</pc>  <w norm="unbedrängt">vnbedraͤngt</w>  <w norm="und">vnd</w>  <w norm="unverhindert">vnuerhindert</w> </s>
<w norm="Teil">Theyll</w>
<w norm="Freude">Frewde</w>
orig(original) gives the original string or is the empty string when the element does not appear in the source text.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Example from a language documentation project of the Mixtepec-Mixtec language (ISO 639-3: 'mix'). This is a use case where speakers spell something incorrectly but we would like to preserve it for any number of reasons, the use of orig is essential and could have uses for both the speaker to see past mistakes, researchers to get insight into how untrained speakers write their language instinctually (in contrast to prescribed convention), etc.:
<w orig="ntsa sia'i">ntsasia'i</w>
Example from the EarlyPrint project. Fragment of text where obvious errors have been corrected but the original forms remain recorded:
<w lemma="he"  pos="pns"  xml:id="b1afj-003-a-0950">he</w> <w lemma="have"  pos="vvz"  xml:id="b1afj-003-a-0960">hath</w> <w lemma="bring"  pos="vvn"  xml:id="b1afj-003-a-0970">brought</w> <w lemma="forth"  pos="av"  xml:id="b1afj-003-a-0980"  orig="sorth">forth</w>
An example from the EarlyPrint project showing the use of both norm and orig. The orig attribute preserves the original version (sometimes with spelling errors, often with printer abbreviations), the element content resolves printer abbreviations but retains the original orthography, and the norm attribute holds normalized values:
<w lemma="commandment"  pos="n1"  norm="commandment"  xml:id="b9avr-018-a-7720"  orig="commandemēt">commandement</w>
Note

It needs to be stressed that the two attributes in this class are meant for strictly lexicographic and linguistic uses, and not for editorial interventions. For the latter, the mechanism based on <choice>, <orig>, and <reg> needs to be employed.

3.33. att.linguistic

att.linguistic provides a set of attributes concerning linguistic features of tokens, for usage within token-level elements, specifically <w> and <pc> in the analysis module. [18.4.2. Lightweight Linguistic Annotation]
Moduleanalysis
Memberspc w
Attributes
lemmaprovides a lemma (base form) for the word, typically uninflected and serving both as an identifier (e.g. in dictionary contexts, as a headword), and as a basis for potential inflections.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text

<w lemma="Arznei">Artzeneyen</w>
lemmaRefprovides a pointer to a definition of the lemma for the word, for example in an online lexicon.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
<w type="verb"  lemma="hit"  lemmaRef="http://www.example.com/lexicon/hitvb.xml">hitt<m type="suffix">ing</m> </w>
pos(part of speech) indicates the part of speech assigned to a token (i.e. information on whether it is a noun, adjective, or verb), usually according to some official reference vocabulary (e.g. for German: STTS, for English: CLAWS, for Polish: NKJP, etc.).
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
The German sentence ‘Wir fahren in den Urlaub.’ tagged with the Stuttgart-Tuebingen-Tagset (STTS).

The English sentence ‘We're going to Brazil.’ tagged with the CLAWS-5 tagset, arranged inline (with significant whitespace).
<p><w pos="PNP">We</w><w pos="VBB">'re</w> <w pos="VVG">going</w> <w pos="PRP">to</w> <w pos="NP0">Brazil</w><pc pos="PUN">.</pc></p>

msd(morphosyntactic description) supplies morphosyntactic information for a token, usually according to some official reference vocabulary (e.g. for German: STTS-large tagset; for a feature description system designed as (pragmatically) universal, see Universal Features).
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
<ab>  <w pos="PPER"   msd="1.Pl.*.Nom">Wir</w>  <w pos="VVFIN"   msd="1.Pl.Pres.Ind">fahren</w>  <w pos="APPR"   msd="--">in</w>  <w pos="ART"   msd="Def.Masc.Akk.Sg">den</w>  <w pos="NN"   msd="Masc.Akk.Sg">Urlaub</w>  <pc pos="$."   msd="--">.</pc> </ab>
joinwhen present, provides information on whether the token in question is adjacent to another, and if so, on which side.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Legal values are:
no
the token is not adjacent to another
left
there is no whitespace on the left side of the token
right
there is no whitespace on the right side of the token
both
there is no whitespace on either side of the token
overlap
the token overlaps with another; other devices (specifying the extent and the area of overlap) are needed to more precisely locate this token in the character stream
The example below assumes that the lack of whitespace is marked redundantly, by using the appropriate values of join.
<s>  <pc join="right">"</pc>  <w join="left">Friends</w>  <w>will</w>  <w>be</w>  <w join="right">friends</w>  <pc join="both">.</pc>  <pc join="left">"</pc> </s>
Note that a project may make a decision to only indicate lack of whitespace in one direction, or do that non-redundantly. The existing proposal is the broadest possible, on the assumption that we adopt the "streamable view", where all the information on the current element needs to be represented locally.
The English sentence ‘We're going on vacation.’ tagged with the CLAWS-5 tagset, arranged sequentially, tagged on the assumption that only the lack of the preceding whitespace is indicated.
<p>  <w pos="PNP">We</w>  <w pos="VBB"   join="left">'re</w>  <w pos="VVG">going</w>  <w pos="PRP">on</w>  <w pos="NN1">vacation</w>  <pc pos="PUN"   join="left">.</pc> </p>
Note

The definition of this attribute is adapted from ISO MAF (Morpho-syntactic Annotation Framework), ISO 24611:2012.

Note

These attributes make it possible to encode simple language corpora and to add a layer of linguistic information to any tokenized resource. See section 18.4.2. Lightweight Linguistic Annotation for discussion.

Note

If the measurement being represented is not expressed in a particular unit, but rather is a number of discrete items, the unit count should be used, or the unit attribute may be left unspecified.

Wherever appropriate, a recognized SI unit name should be used (see further http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/; http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/). The list above is indicative rather than exhaustive.

unitRefpoints to a unique identifier stored in the xml:id of a <unitDef> element that defines a unit of measure.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
quantity(quantity) specifies the number of the specified units that comprise the measurement
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.numeric
commodity(commodity) indicates the substance that is being measured
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.word separated by whitespace
Note

In general, when the commodity is made of discrete entities, the plural form should be used, even when the measurement is of only one of them.

Schematron
<sch:rule context="tei:*[@unitRef]"> <sch:report test="@unit" role="info">The @unit attribute may be unnecessary when @unitRef is present.</sch:report> </sch:rule>
Note
This attribute class provides a triplet of attributes that may be used either to regularize the values of the measurement being encoded, or to normalize them with respect to a standard measurement system.
<l>So weren't you gonna buy <measure quantity="0.5unit="gal"   commodity="ice cream">half    a gallon</measure>, baby</l> <l>So won't you go and buy <measure quantity="1.893unit="L"   commodity="ice cream">half    a gallon</measure>, baby?</l>

The unit should normally be named using the standard symbol for an SI unit (see further http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure/; http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/). However, encoders may also specify measurements using informally defined units such as lines or characters.

3.37. att.milestoneUnit

att.milestoneUnit provides attributes to indicate the type of section which is changing at a specific milestone. [3.11.3. Milestone Elements 2.3.6.3. Milestone Method 2.3.6. The Reference System Declaration]
Modulecore
Membersmilestone refState
Attributes
unitprovides a conventional name for the kind of section changing at this milestone.
StatusRequired
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Suggested values include:
page
physical page breaks (synonymous with the <pb> element).
column
column breaks.
line
line breaks (synonymous with the <lb> element).
book
any units termed book, liber, etc.
poem
individual poems in a collection.
canto
cantos or other major sections of a poem.
speaker
changes of speaker or narrator.
stanza
stanzas within a poem, book, or canto.

acts within a play.
scene
scenes within a play or act.
section
sections of any kind.

unnumbered
passages present in the text, but not to be included as part of the reference.
<milestone n="23"  ed="La"  unit="Dreissiger"/> ... <milestone n="24"  ed="AV"  unit="verse"/> ...
Note

If the milestone marks the beginning of a piece of text not present in the reference edition, the special value absent may be used as the value of unit. The normal interpretation is that the reference edition does not contain the text which follows, until the next <milestone> tag for the edition in question is encountered.

In addition to the values suggested, other terms may be appropriate (e.g. Stephanus for the Stephanus numbers in Plato).

The type attribute may be used to characterize the unit boundary in any respect other than simply identifying the type of unit, for example as word-breaking or not.

3.38. att.naming

att.naming provides attributes common to elements which refer to named persons, places, organizations etc. [3.6.1. Referring Strings 14.3.7. Names and Nyms]
Moduletei
Membersatt.personal[name] author editor pubPlace rs
Attributes
rolemay be used to specify further information about the entity referenced by this name in the form of a set of whitespace-separated values, for example the occupation of a person, or the status of a place.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.enumerated separated by whitespace
nymRef(reference to the canonical name) provides a means of locating the canonical form (nym) of the names associated with the object named by the element bearing it.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

The value must point directly to one or more XML elements by means of one or more URIs, separated by whitespace. If more than one is supplied, the implication is that the name is associated with several distinct canonical names.

3.39. att.notated

att.notated provides attributes to indicate any specialised notation used for element content.
Moduletei
Membersc formula listAnnotation m phr quote s seg w
Attributes
notationnames the notation used for the content of the element.

3.40. att.patternReplacement

att.patternReplacement provides attributes for regular-expression matching and replacement. [17.2.3. Using Abbreviated Pointers 2.3.6.3. Milestone Method 2.3.6. The Reference System Declaration 2.3.6.2. Search-and-Replace Method]
Moduleheader
MemberscRefPattern prefixDef
Attributes
matchPatternspecifies a regular expression against which the values of other attributes can be matched.
StatusRequired
Datatypeteidata.pattern
Note

The syntax used should follow that defined by W3C XPath syntax. Note that parenthesized groups are used not only for establishing order of precedence and atoms for quantification, but also for creating subpatterns to be referenced by the replacementPattern attribute.

replacementPatternspecifies a ‘replacement pattern’, that is, the skeleton of a relative or absolute URI containing references to groups in the matchPattern which, once subpattern substitution has been performed, complete the URI.
StatusRequired
Datatypeteidata.replacement
Note

The strings $1, $2 etc. are references to the corresponding group in the regular expression specified by matchPattern (counting open parenthesis, left to right). Processors are expected to replace them with whatever matched the corresponding group in the regular expression.

If a digit preceded by a dollar sign is needed in the actual replacement pattern (as opposed to being used as a back reference), the dollar sign must be written as %24.

3.41. att.personal

att.personal (attributes for components of names usually, but not necessarily, personal names) common attributes for those elements which form part of a name usually, but not necessarily, a personal name. [14.2.1. Personal Names]
Moduletei

3.43. att.pointing

att.pointing provides a set of attributes used by all elements which point to other elements by means of one or more URI references. [1.3.1.1.2. Language Indicators 3.7. Simple Links and Cross-References]
Moduletei
Membersatt.pointing.group[altGrp joinGrp linkGrp] alt annotation calendar catRef citedRange gloss join licence link note noteGrp ptr ref span term
Attributes
targetLangspecifies the language of the content to be found at the destination referenced by target, using a ‘language tag’ generated according to BCP 47.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.language
Schematron
<sch:rule context="tei:*[not(self::tei:schemaSpec)][@targetLang]"> <sch:assert test="@target">@targetLang should only be used on <sch:name/> if @target is specified.</sch:assert> </sch:rule>

In the example above, the <linkGrp> combines pointers at parallel fragments of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: one of them is in Polish, the other in Swahili.
Note

The value must conform to BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-), a <language> element with a matching value for its ident attribute should be supplied in the TEI header to document this value. Such documentation may also optionally be supplied for non-private-use codes, though these must remain consistent with their (IETF)Internet Engineering Task Force definitions.

targetspecifies the destination of the reference by supplying one or more URI References
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

One or more syntactically valid URI references, separated by whitespace. Because whitespace is used to separate URIs, no whitespace is permitted inside a single URI. If a whitespace character is required in a URI, it should be escaped with the normal mechanism, e.g. TEI%20Consortium.

evaluate(evaluate) specifies the intended meaning when the target of a pointer is itself a pointer.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Legal values are:
all
if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then the target of that pointer will be taken, and so on, until an element is found which is not a pointer.
one
if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then its target (whether a pointer or not) is taken as the target of this pointer.
none
no further evaluation of targets is carried out beyond that needed to find the element specified in the pointer's target.
Note

If no value is given, the application program is responsible for deciding (possibly on the basis of user input) how far to trace a chain of pointers.

3.44. att.pointing.group

att.pointing.group provides a set of attributes common to all elements which enclose groups of pointer elements. [17. Linking, Segmentation, and Alignment]
Moduletei
MembersaltGrp joinGrp linkGrp
Attributes
domainsoptionally specifies the identifiers of the elements within which all elements indicated by the contents of this element lie.
StatusOptional
Datatype2–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

If this attribute is supplied every element specified as a target must be contained within the element or elements named by it. An application may choose whether or not to report failures to satisfy this constraint as errors, but may not access an element of the right identifier but in the wrong context. If this attribute is not supplied, then target elements may appear anywhere within the target document.

targFunc(target function) describes the function of each of the values of the target attribute of the enclosed <link>, <join>, or <alt> tags.
StatusOptional
Datatype2–∞ occurrences of teidata.word separated by whitespace
Note

The number of separate values must match the number of values in the target attribute in the enclosed <link>, <join>, or <alt> tags (an intermediate <ptr> element may be needed to accomplish this). It should also match the number of values in the domains attribute, of the current element, if one has been specified.

3.45. att.ranging

att.ranging provides attributes for describing numerical ranges.
Moduletei
Membersatt.dimensions[add date del ellipsis gap time unclear] measure num
Attributes
atLeastgives a minimum estimated value for the approximate measurement.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.numeric

minwhere the measurement summarizes more than one observation or a range, supplies the minimum value observed.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.numeric
maxwhere the measurement summarizes more than one observation or a range, supplies the maximum value observed.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.numeric
confidencespecifies the degree of statistical confidence (between zero and one) that a value falls within the range specified by min and max, or the proportion of observed values that fall within that range.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.probability
Example
The MS. was lost in transmission by mail from <del rend="overstrike">  <gap reason="illegible"   extent="one or two lettersatLeast="1atMost="2unit="chars"/> </del> Philadelphia to the Graphic office, New York.
Example

3.46. att.resourced

att.resourced provides attributes by which a resource (such as an externally held media file) may be located.
Moduletei
Membersgraphic media schemaRef
Attributes
url(uniform resource locator) specifies the URL from which the media concerned may be obtained.
StatusRequired
Datatypeteidata.pointer

3.47. att.segLike

att.segLike provides attributes for elements used for arbitrary segmentation. [17.3. Blocks, Segments, and Anchors 18.1. Linguistic Segment Categories]
Moduletei
Membersc m pc phr s seg w
Attributes
function(function) characterizes the function of the segment.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Note

Attribute values will often vary depending on the type of element to which they are attached. For example, a <cl>, may take values such as coordinate, subject, adverbial etc. For a <phr>, such values as subject, predicate etc. may be more appropriate. Such constraints will typically be implemented by a project-defined customization.

3.48. att.sortable

att.sortable provides attributes for elements in lists or groups that are sortable, but whose sorting key cannot be derived mechanically from the element content. [10.1. Dictionary Body and Overall Structure]
Moduletei
Membersbibl biblFull biblStruct correspAction idno item list listBibl listChange term
Attributes
sortKeysupplies the sort key for this element in an index, list or group which contains it.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.word
David's other principal backer, Josiah ha-Kohen <index indexName="NAMES">  <term sortKey="Azarya_Josiah_Kohen">Josiah ha-Kohen b. Azarya</term> </index> b. Azarya, son of one of the last gaons of Sura was David's own first cousin.
Note

The sort key is used to determine the sequence and grouping of entries in an index. It provides a sequence of characters which, when sorted with the other values, will produced the desired order; specifics of sort key construction are application-dependent

Dictionary order often differs from the collation sequence of machine-readable character sets; in English-language dictionaries, an entry for 4-H will often appear alphabetized under ‘fourh’, and McCoy may be alphabetized under ‘maccoy’, while A1, A4, and A5 may all appear in numeric order ‘alphabetized’ between ‘a-’ and ‘AA’. The sort key is required if the orthography of the dictionary entry does not suffice to determine its location.

3.49. att.spanning

att.spanning provides attributes for elements which delimit a span of text by pointing mechanisms rather than by enclosing it. [12.3.1.4. Additions and Deletions 1.3.1. Attribute Classes]
Moduletei
Memberscb gb lb milestone pb
Attributes
spanToindicates the end of a span initiated by the element bearing this attribute.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
SchematronThe @spanTo attribute must point to an element following the current element
<sch:rule context="tei:*[@spanTo]"> <sch:assert test="id(substring(@spanTo,2)) and following::*[@xml:id=substring(current()/@spanTo,2)]">The element indicated by @spanTo (<sch:value-of select="@spanTo"/>) must follow the current element <sch:name/> </sch:assert> </sch:rule>
Note

The span is defined as running in document order from the start of the content of the pointing element to the end of the content of the element pointed to by the spanTo attribute (if any). If no value is supplied for the attribute, the assumption is that the span is coextensive with the pointing element. If no content is present, the assumption is that the starting point of the span is immediately following the element itself.

3.50. att.styleDef

att.styleDef provides attributes to specify the name of a formal definition language used to provide formatting or rendition information.
Moduletei
Membersrendition styleDefDecl
Attributes
schemeidentifies the language used to describe the rendition.

Note

If no value for the @scheme attribute is provided, then the default assumption should be that CSS is in use.

schemeVersionsupplies a version number for the style language provided in scheme.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.versionNumber
Schematron
<sch:rule context="tei:*[@schemeVersion]"> <sch:assert test="@scheme and not(@scheme = 'free')"> @schemeVersion can only be used if @scheme is specified. </sch:assert> </sch:rule>

If schemeVersion is used, then scheme should also appear, with a value other than free.

3.51. att.tableDecoration

att.tableDecoration provides attributes used to decorate rows or cells of a table. [15. Tables, Formulæ, Graphics, and Notated Music]
Modulefigures
Memberscell row
Attributes
role(role) indicates the kind of information held in this cell or in each cell of this row.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Suggested values include:

Note

When this attribute is specified on a row, its value is the default for all cells in this row. When specified on a cell, its value overrides any default specified by the role attribute of the parent <row> element.

rows(rows) indicates the number of rows occupied by this cell or row.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.count
Default1
Note

A value greater than one indicates that this cell spans several rows. Where several cells span multiple rows, it may be more convenient to use nested tables.

cols(columns) indicates the number of columns occupied by this cell or row.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.count
Default1
Note

A value greater than one indicates that this cell or row spans several columns. Where an initial cell spans an entire row, it may be better treated as a heading.

3.52. att.timed

att.timed provides attributes common to those elements which have a duration in time, expressed either absolutely or by reference to an alignment map. [8.3.5. Temporal Information]
Moduletei
MembersbinaryObject ellipsis gap media
Attributes
startindicates the location within a temporal alignment at which this element begins.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
Note

If no value is supplied, the element is assumed to follow the immediately preceding element at the same hierarchic level.

endindicates the location within a temporal alignment at which this element ends.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.pointer
Note

If no value is supplied, the element is assumed to precede the immediately following element at the same hierarchic level.

3.53. att.transcriptional

att.transcriptional provides attributes specific to elements encoding authorial or scribal intervention in a text when transcribing manuscript or similar sources. [12.3.1.4. Additions and Deletions]
Moduletei
Membersadd del rt
Attributes
statusindicates the effect of the intervention, for example in the case of a deletion, strikeouts which include too much or too little text, or in the case of an addition, an insertion which duplicates some of the text already present.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
duplicate
all of the text indicated as an addition duplicates some text that is in the original, whether the duplication is word-for-word or less exact.
duplicate-partial
part of the text indicated as an addition duplicates some text that is in the original
excessStart
some text at the beginning of the deletion is marked as deleted even though it clearly should not be deleted.
excessEnd
some text at the end of the deletion is marked as deleted even though it clearly should not be deleted.
shortStart
some text at the beginning of the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be.
shortEnd
some text at the end of the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be.
partial
some text in the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be.
unremarkable
the deletion is not faulty.[Default]
Note

Status information on each deletion is needed rather rarely except in critical editions from authorial manuscripts; status information on additions is even less common.

Marking a deletion or addition as faulty is inescapably an interpretive act; the usual test applied in practice is the linguistic acceptability of the text with and without the letters or words in question.

causedocuments the presumed cause for the intervention.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
seq(sequence) assigns a sequence number related to the order in which the encoded features carrying this attribute are believed to have occurred.

Note

The type attribute is present on a number of elements, not all of which are members of att.typed, usually because these elements restrict the possible values for the attribute in a specific way.

subtype(subtype) provides a sub-categorization of the element, if needed
StatusOptional

Note

When appropriate, values from an established typology should be used. Alternatively a typology may be defined in the associated TEI header. If values are to be taken from a project-specific list, this should be defined using the <valList> element in the project-specific schema description, as described in 24.3.1.3.

Example
<date dur-iso="P14D">a fortnight</date>
Example
<time dur-iso="PT0.02S">20 ms</time>
Note

A duration is expressed as a sequence of number-letter pairs, preceded by the letter P; the letter gives the unit and may be Y (year), M (month), D (day), H (hour), M (minute), or S (second), in that order. The numbers are all unsigned integers, except for the last, which may have a decimal component (using either . or , as the decimal point; the latter is preferred). If any number is 0, then that number-letter pair may be omitted. If any of the H (hour), M (minute), or S (second) number-letter pairs are present, then the separator T must precede the first ‘time’ number-letter pair.

  </valList>
 </alternate>
</content>
    
Declaration
teidata.language = xsd:language | ( "" )
Note

The values for this attribute are language ‘tags’ as defined in BCP 47. Currently BCP 47 comprises RFC 5646 and RFC 4647; over time, other IETF documents may succeed these as the best current practice.

A ‘language tag’, per BCP 47, is assembled from a sequence of components or subtags separated by the hyphen character (-, U+002D). The tag is made of the following subtags, in the following order. Every subtag except the first is optional. If present, each occurs only once, except the fourth and fifth components (variant and extension), which are repeatable.

language
The IANA-registered code for the language. This is almost always the same as the ISO 639 2-letter language code if there is one. The list of available registered language subtags can be found at https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry. It is recommended that this code be written in lower case.
script
The ISO 15924 code for the script. These codes consist of 4 letters, and it is recommended they be written with an initial capital, the other three letters in lower case. The canonical list of codes is maintained by the Unicode Consortium, and is available at https://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html. The IETF recommends this code be omitted unless it is necessary to make a distinction you need.
region
Either an ISO 3166 country code or a UN M.49 region code that is registered with IANA (not all such codes are registered, e.g. UN codes for economic groupings or codes for countries for which there is already an ISO 3166 2-letter code are not registered). The former consist of 2 letters, and it is recommended they be written in upper case; the list of codes can be searched or browsed at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/. The latter consist of 3 digits; the list of codes can be found at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49.htm.
variant
An IANA-registered variation. These codes ‘are used to indicate additional, well-recognized variations that define a language or its dialects that are not covered by other available subtags’.
extension
An extension has the format of a single letter followed by a hyphen followed by additional subtags. These exist to allow for future extension to BCP 47, but as of this writing no such extensions are in use.
private use
An extension that uses the initial subtag of the single letter x (i.e., starts with x-) has no meaning except as negotiated among the parties involved. These should be used with great care, since they interfere with the interoperability that use of RFC 4646 is intended to promote. In order for a document that makes use of these subtags to be TEI-conformant, a corresponding <language> element must be present in the TEI header.

There are two exceptions to the above format. First, there are language tags in the IANA registry that do not match the above syntax, but are present because they have been ‘grandfathered’ from previous specifications.

Second, an entire language tag can consist of only a private use subtag. These tags start with x-, and do not need to follow any further rules established by the IETF and endorsed by these Guidelines. Like all language tags that make use of private use subtags, the language in question must be documented in a corresponding <language> element in the TEI header.

 </alternate>
</content>
    
Declaration
teidata.numeric =
   xsd:double | token { pattern = "(\-?[\d]+/\-?[\d]+)" } | xsd:decimal
Note

Any numeric value, represented as a decimal number, in floating point format, or as a ratio.

To represent a floating point number, expressed in scientific notation, ‘E notation’, a variant of ‘exponential notation’, may be used. In this format, the value is expressed as two numbers separated by the letter E. The first number, the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) is given in decimal format, while the second is an integer. The value is obtained by multiplying the mantissa by 10 the number of times indicated by the integer. Thus the value represented in decimal notation as 1000.0 might be represented in scientific notation as 10E3.

A value expressed as a ratio is represented by two integer values separated by a solidus (/) character. Thus, the value represented in decimal notation as 0.5 might be represented as a ratio by the string 1/2.

5.11. teidata.outputMeasurement

teidata.outputMeasurement defines a range of values for use in specifying the size of an object that is intended for display.

5.12. teidata.pattern

teidata.pattern defines attribute values which are expressed as a regular expression.
Moduletei
Used by
Content model
<content>
 <dataRef name="token"/>
</content>
    
Declaration
teidata.pattern = token
Note
A regular expression, often called a pattern, is an expression that describes a set of strings. They are usually used to give a concise description of a set, without having to list all elements. For example, the set containing the three strings Handel, Händel, and Haendel can be described by the pattern H(ä|ae?)ndel (or alternatively, it is said that the pattern H(ä|ae?)ndel matches each of the three strings)
Wikipedia

This TEI datatype is mapped to the XSD token datatype, and may therefore contain any string of characters. However, it is recommended that the value used conform to the particular flavour of regular expression syntax supported by XSD Schema.

5.13. teidata.pointer

teidata.pointer defines the range of attribute values used to provide a single URI, absolute or relative, pointing to some other resource, either within the current document or elsewhere.

Element:
Content model
<content>
 <dataRef restriction="\S+" name="anyURI"/>
</content>
    
Declaration
teidata.pointer = xsd:anyURI { pattern = "\S+" }
Note

The range of syntactically valid values is defined by RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax. Note that the values themselves are encoded using RFC 3987 Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) mapping to URIs. For example, https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/% is encoded as https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/%25 while http://موقع.وزارة-الاتصالات.مصر/ is encoded as http://xn--4gbrim.xn----rmckbbajlc6dj7bxne2c.xn--wgbh1c/
