TEI Lite: Encoding for Interchange: an introduction to the TEI Revised for TEI P5 release

Prefatory note

TEI Lite was the name adopted for what the TEI editors originally conceived of as a simple demonstration of how the TEI encoding scheme might be adopted to meet 90% of the needs of 90% of the TEI user community. In retrospect, it was predictable that many people should imagine TEI Lite to be all there is to TEI, or find TEI Lite to be far too heavy for their needs.

The original TEI Lite was based largely on observations of existing and previous practice in the encoding of texts, particularly as manifest in the collections of the Oxford Text Archive and in our own experience. It is therefore unsurprising that it seems to have become, if not a de facto standard, at least a common point of departure for electronic text centres and encoding projects world wide. Maybe the fact that we actually produced this shortish, readable, manual for it also helped.

Early adopters of TEI Lite included a number of ‘Electronic Text Centers’, many of whom produced their own documentation and tutorial materials (some examples are listed in the TEI Tutorials pages). It was also widely adopted as the basis for TEI-conformant authoring systems. Documentation introducing TEI Lite has been widely used for tutorial purposes and has been widely translated (see further the list of versions at http://www.tei-c.org/Lite/).

With the publication of TEI P4, the XML version of the TEI Guidelines, which uses the generation of TEI Lite as an example of the modification mechanism built into the TEI Guidelines, the opportunity was taken to produce a lightly revised XML-conformant version, but the present revision is the first substantively changed version since its first appearance in 1997. This revision takes advantage of the many new features introduced into the TEI Guidelines at release P5. A brief list of those changes likely to affect users of previous versions of this document is given below (Appendix A Substantive changes from the P4 version).

Lou Burnard, February 2006

This document provides an introduction to the recommendations of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), by describing a specific subset of the full TEI encoding scheme. The scheme documented here can be used to encode a wide variety of commonly encountered textual features, in such a way as to maximize the usability of electronic transcriptions and to facilitate their interchange among scholars using different computer systems. It is fully compatible with the full TEI scheme, as defined by TEI document P5, Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange, as of February 2006, and available from the TEI Consortium website at http://www.tei-c.org.

1 Introduction

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines are addressed to anyone who wants to interchange information stored in an electronic form. They emphasize the interchange of textual information, but other forms of information such as images and sound are also addressed. The Guidelines are equally applicable in the creation of new resources and in the interchange of existing ones.

The Guidelines provide a means of making explicit certain features of a text in such a way as to aid the processing of that text by computer programs running on different machines. This process of making explicit we call markup or encoding. Any textual representation on a computer uses some form of markup; the TEI came into being partly because of the enormous variety of mutually incomprehensible encoding schemes currently besetting scholarship, and partly because of the expanding range of scholarly uses now being identified for texts in electronic form.

The TEI Guidelines describe an encoding scheme which can be expressed using a number of different formal languages. The first editions of the Guidelines used the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML); since 2002, this has been replaced by the use of the Extensible Markup Language (XML). These markup languages have in common the definition of text in terms of elements and attributes, and rules governing their appearance within a text. The TEI's use of XML is ambitious in its complexity and generality, but it is fundamentally no different from that of any other XML markup scheme, and so any general-purpose XML-aware software is able to process TEI-conformant texts.

The TEI was sponsored by the Association for Computers and the Humanities, the Association for Computational Linguistics, and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing, and is now maintained and developed by an independent membership consortium, hosted by four major Universities. Funding has been provided in part from the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities, Directorate General XIII of the Commission of the European Communities, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The Guidelines were first published in May 1994, after six years of development involving many hundreds of scholars from different academic disciplines worldwide. During the years that followed, the Guidelines were increasingly influential in the development of the digital library, in the language industries, and even in the development of the World Wide Web itself. The TEI consortium was set up in January 2001, and a year later produced an edition of the Guidelines entirely revised for XML compatibility. In 2004, it set about a major revision of the Guidelines to take full advantage of new schema languages, the first release of which appeared in 2005. This revision of the TEI Lite manual conforms to version 0.3 of this most recent edition of the Guidelines, TEI P5.

At the outset of its work, the overall goals of the TEI were defined by the closing statement of a planning conference held at Vassar College, N.Y., in November, 1987; these ‘Poughkeepsie Principles’ were further elaborated in a series of design documents. The Guidelines, say these design documents, should:
The world of scholarship is large and diverse. For the Guidelines to have wide acceptability, it was important to ensure that:
  1. the common core of textual features be easily shared;
  2. additional specialist features be easy to add to (or remove from) a text;
  3. multiple parallel encodings of the same feature should be possible;
  4. the richness of markup should be user-defined, with a very small minimal requirement;
  5. adequate documentation of the text and its encoding should be provided.

The present document describes a manageable selection from the extensive set of elements and recommendations resulting from those design goals, which is called TEI Lite.

In selecting from the several hundred elements defined by the full TEI scheme, we have tried to identify a useful ‘starter set’, comprising the elements which almost every user should know about. Experience working with TEI Lite will be invaluable in understanding the full TEI scheme and in knowing how to integrate specialized parts of it into the general TEI framework.

Our goals in defining this subset may be summarized as follows:

The reader may judge our success in meeting these goals for him or herself. At the time of first writing (1995), our confidence that we have at least partially done so is borne out by its use in practice for the encoding of real texts. The Oxford Text Archive uses TEI Lite when it translates texts from its holdings from their original markup schemes into SGML; the Electronic Text Centers at the University of Virginia and the University of Michigan have used TEI Lite to encode their holdings. And the Text Encoding Initiative itself uses TEI Lite, in its current technical documentation — including this document.

Although we have tried to make this document self-contained, as suits a tutorial text, the reader should be aware that it does not cover every detail of the TEI encoding scheme. All of the elements described here are fully documented in the TEI Guidelines themselves, which should be consulted for authoritative reference information on these, and on the many others which are not described here. Some basic knowledge of XML is assumed.

2 A Short Example

We begin with a short example, intended to show what happens when a passage of prose is typed into a computer by someone with little sense of the purpose of mark-up, or the potential of electronic texts. In an ideal world, such output might be generated by a very accurate optical scanner. It attempts to be faithful to the appearance of the printed text, by retaining the original line breaks, by introducing blanks to represent the layout of the original headings and page breaks, and so forth. Where characters not available on the keyboard are needed (such as the accented letter a in faàl or the long dash), it attempts to mimic their appearance.

CHAPTER 38 READER, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the par- son and clerk, were alone present. When we got back from church, I went into the kitchen of the manor-house, where Mary was cooking the dinner, and John cleaning the knives, and I said -- 'Mary, I have been married to Mr Rochester this morning.' The housekeeper and her husband were of that decent, phlegmatic order of people, to whom one may at any time safely communicate a remarkable piece of news without incurring the danger of having one's ears pierced by some shrill ejaculation and subsequently stunned by a torrent of wordy wonderment. Mary did look up, and she did stare at me; the ladle with which she was basting a pair of chickens roasting at the fire, did for some three minutes hang suspended in air, and for the same space of time John's knives also had rest from the polishing process; but Mary, bending again over the roast, said only -- 'Have you, miss? Well, for sure!' A short time after she pursued, 'I seed you go out with the master, but I didn't know you were gone to church to be wed'; and she basted away. John, when I turned to him, was grinning from ear to ear. 'I telled Mary how it would be,' he said: 'I knew what Mr Ed- ward' (John was an old servant, and had known his master when he was the cadet of the house, therefore he often gave him his Christian name) -- 'I knew what Mr Edward would do; and I was certain he would not wait long either: and he's done right, for aught I know. I wish you joy, miss!' and he politely pulled his forelock. 'Thank you, John. Mr Rochester told me to give you and Mary this.' I put into his hand a five-pound note. Without waiting to hear more, I left the kitchen. In passing the door of that sanctum some time after, I caught the words -- 'She'll happen do better for him nor ony o' t' grand ladies.' And again, 'If she ben't one o' th' handsomest, she's noan faa\l, and varry good-natured; and i' his een she's fair beautiful, onybody may see that.' I wrote to Moor House and to Cambridge immediately, to say what I had done: fully explaining also why I had thus acted. Diana and 474 JANE EYRE 475 Mary approved the step unreservedly. Diana announced that she would just give me time to get over the honeymoon, and then she would come and see me. 'She had better not wait till then, Jane,' said Mr Rochester, when I read her letter to him; 'if she does, she will be too late, for our honey- moon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.' How St John received the news I don't know: he never answered the letter in which I communicated it: yet six months after he wrote to me, without, however, mentioning Mr Rochester's name or allud- ing to my marriage. His letter was then calm, and though very serious, kind. He has maintained a regular, though not very frequent correspond- ence ever since: he hopes I am happy, and trusts I am not of those who live without God in the world, and only mind earthly things.
This transcription suffers from a number of shortcomings:
We now present the same passage, as it might be encoded using the TEI Guidelines. As we shall see, there are many ways in which this encoding could be extended, but as a minimum, the TEI approach allows us to represent the following distinctions:

This particular encoding represents a set of choices or priorities. The decision to focus on Brontë's text, rather than on the printing of it in this particular edition, is an instance of the fundamental selectivity of any encoding. An encoding makes explicit only those textual features of importance to the encoder. It is not difficult to think of ways in which the encoding of even this short passage might readily be extended. For example:
A TEI-recommended way of carrying out most of these is described in the remainder of this document. The TEI scheme as a whole also provides for an enormous range of other possibilities, of which we cite only a few: For recommendations on these and many other possibilities, the full Guidelines should be consulted.

3 The Structure of a TEI Text

All TEI-conformant texts contain (a) a TEI header (marked up as a <teiHeader> element) and (b) the transcription of the text proper (marked up as a <text> element). These two elements are combined together to form a single <TEI> element.

The TEI header provides information analogous to that provided by the title page of a printed text. It has up to four parts: a bibliographic description of the machine-readable text, a description of the way it has been encoded, a non-bibliographic description of the text (a text profile), and a revision history. The header is described in more detail in section 19 The Electronic Title Page.

A TEI text may be unitary (a single work) or composite (a collection of single works, such as an anthology). In either case, the text may have an optional front or back. In between is the body of the text, which, in the case of a composite text, may consist of groups, each containing more groups or texts.

A unitary text will be encoded using an overall structure like this:
<TEI>
 <teiHeader>
<!-- [ TEI Header information ] -->
 </teiHeader>
 <text>
  <front>
<!-- [ front matter ... ] -->
  </front>
  <body>
<!-- [ body of text ... ] -->
  </body>
  <back>
<!-- [ back matter ... ] -->
  </back>
 </text>
</TEI>
A composite text also has an optional front and back. In between occur one or more groups of texts, each with its own optional front and back matter. A composite text will thus be encoded using an overall structure like this:
<TEI>
 <teiHeader>
<!--[ header information for the composite ]-->
 </teiHeader>
 <text>
  <front>
<!--[ front matter for the composite ]-->
  </front>
  <group>
   <text>
    <front>
<!--[ front matter of first text ]-->
    </front>
    <body>
<!--[ body of first text ]-->
    </body>
    <back>
<!--[ back matter of first text ]-->
    </back>
   </text>
   <text>
    <front>
<!--[ front matter of second text]-->
    </front>
    <body>
<!--[ body of second text ]-->
    </body>
    <back>
<!--[ back matter of second text ]-->
    </back>
   </text>
<!--[ more texts or groups of texts here ]-->
  </group>
  <back>
<!--[ back matter for the composite ]-->
  </back>
 </text>
</TEI>
It is also possible to define a composite of TEI texts, each with its own header. Such a collection is known as a TEI corpus, and may itself have a header:
<teiCorpus>
 <teiHeader>
<!--[header information for the corpus]-->
 </teiHeader>
 <TEI>
  <teiHeader>
<!--[header information for first text]-->
  </teiHeader>
  <text>
<!--[first text in corpus]-->
  </text>
 </TEI>
 <TEI>
  <teiHeader>
<!--[header information for second text]-->
  </teiHeader>
  <text>
<!--[second text in corpus]-->
  </text>
 </TEI>
</teiCorpus>
It is not however possible to create a composite of corpora -- that is, a number of <teiCorpus> elements combined together and treated as a single object. This is a restriction of the current version of the TEI Guidelines.

In the remainder of this document, we discuss chiefly simple text structures. The discussion in each case consists of a short list of relevant TEI elements with a brief definition of each, followed by definitions for any attributes specific to that element, and a reference to any classes of which the element is a member. These references are linked to full specifications for each object, as given in the TEI Guidelines. In most cases, short examples are also given.

For example, here are the elements discussed so far:

4 Encoding the Body

As indicated above, a simple TEI document at the textual level consists of the following elements: Elements specific to front and back matter are described below in section 18 Front and Back Matter. In this section we discuss the elements making up the body of a text.

4.1 Text Division Elements

The body of a prose text may be just a series of paragraphs, or these paragraphs may be grouped together into chapters, sections, subsections, etc. Each paragraph is tagged using the <p> tag. The <div> element is used to represent any such grouping of paragraphs.
  • p (paragraph) marks paragraphs in prose.
  • div (text division) contains a subdivision of the front, body, or back of a text.

The type attribute on the <div> element may be used to supply a conventional name for this category of text division, or otherwise distinguish them. Typical values might be ‘book’, ‘chapter’, ‘section’, ‘part’, ‘poem’, ‘song’, etc. For a given project, it will usually be advisable to define and adhere to a specific list of such values.

A <div> element may itself contain further, nested, <div>s, thus mimicking the traditional structure of a book, which can be decomposed hierarchically into units such as parts, containing chapters, containing sections, and so on. TEI texts in general conform to this simple hierarchic model.

The xml:id attribute may be used to supply a unique identifier for the division, which may be used for cross references or other links to it, such as a commentary, as further discussed in section 8 Cross References and Links. It is often useful to provide an xml:id attribute for every major structural unit in a text, and to derive its values in some systematic way, for example by appending a section number to a short code for the title of the work in question, as in the examples below.

The n attribute may be used to supply (additionally or alternatively) a short mnemonic name or number for the division. If a conventional form of reference or abbreviation for the parts of a work already exists (such as the book/chapter/verse pattern of Biblical citations), the n attribute is the place to record it.

The xml:lang attribute may be used to specify the language of the division. Languages are identified by an internationally defined code, as further discussed in section 6.3 Foreign Words or Expressions below.

The rend attribute may be used to supply information about the rendition (appearance) of a division, or any other element, as further discussed in section 6 Marking Highlighted Phrases below. As with the type attribute, a project will often find it useful to predefine the possible values for this attribute, but TEI Lite does not constrain it in anyway.

These four attributes, xml:id, n, xml:lang, and rend are so widely useful that they are allowed on any element in any TEI schema: they are global attributes. Other global attributes defined in the TEI Lite scheme are discussed in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking.

The value of every xml:id attribute should be unique within a document. One simple way of ensuring that this is so is to make it reflect the hierarchic structure of the document. For example, Smith's Wealth of Nations as first published consists of five books, each of which is divided into chapters, while some chapters are further subdivided into parts. We might define xml:id values for this structure as follows:
<body>
 <div xml:id="WN1n="Itype="book">
  <div xml:id="WN101n="I.1type="chapter">
<!-- ... -->
  </div>
  <div xml:id="WN102n="I.2type="chapter">
<!-- ... -->
  </div>
<!-- ... -->
  <div xml:id="WN110n="I.10type="chapter">
   <div xml:id="WN1101n="I.10.1type="part">
<!-- ... -->
   </div>
   <div xml:id="WN1102n="I.10.2type="part">
<!-- ... -->
   </div>
  </div>
<!-- ... -->
 </div>
 <div xml:id="WN2n="IItype="book">
<!-- ... -->
 </div>
</body>
A different numbering scheme may be used for xml:id and n attributes: this is often useful where a canonical reference scheme is used which does not tally with the structure of the work. For example, in a novel divided into books each containing chapters, where the chapters are numbered sequentially through the whole work, rather than within each book, one might use a scheme such as the following:
<body>
 <div xml:id="TS01n="1type="Volume">
  <div xml:id="TS011n="1type="Chapter">
<!-- ... -->
  </div>
  <div xml:id="TS012n="2">
<!-- ... -->
  </div>
 </div>
 <div xml:id="TS02n="2type="Volume">
  <div xml:id="TS021n="3type="Chapter">
<!-- ... -->
  </div>
  <div xml:id="TS022n="4">
<!-- ... -->
  </div>
 </div>
</body>
Here the work has two volumes, each containing two chapters. The chapters are numbered conventionally 1 to 4, but the xml:id values specified allow them to be regarded additionally as if they were numbered 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2.

4.2 Headings and Closings

Every <div> may have a title or heading at its start, and (less commonly) a closing such as ‘End of Chapter 1’. The following elements may be used to transcribe them:
  • head (heading) contains any type of heading, for example the title of a section, or the heading of a list, glossary, manuscript description, etc.
  • trailer contains a closing title or footer appearing at the end of a division of a text.
Some other elements which may be necessary at the beginning or ending of text divisions are discussed below in section 18.1.2 Prefatory Matter.
Whether or not headings and trailers are included in a transcription is a matter for the individual transcriber to decide. Where a heading is completely regular (for example ‘Chapter 1’) or may be automatically constructed from attribute values (e.g. <div type="Chapter" n="1">), it may be omitted; where it contains otherwise unrecoverable text it should always be included. For example, the start of Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree might be encoded as follows:
<div xml:id="UGT1n="Wintertype="Part">
 <div xml:id="UGT11n="1type="Chapter">
  <head>Mellstock-Lane</head>
  <p>To dwellers in a wood almost every species of tree ...
  </p>
 </div>
</div>

4.3 Prose, Verse and Drama

As noted above, the paragraphs making up a textual division should be tagged with the <p> tag. For example:
<p>I fully appreciate Gen. Pope's splendid achievements
with their invaluable results; but you must know that
Major Generalships in the Regular Army, are not as
plenty as blackberries.
</p>
A number of different tags are provided for the encoding of the structural components of verse and performance texts (drama, film, etc.):
  • l (verse line) contains a single, possibly incomplete, line of verse.
  • lg (line group) contains a group of verse lines functioning as a formal unit, e.g. a stanza, refrain, verse paragraph, etc.
  • sp (speech) An individual speech in a performance text, or a passage presented as such in a prose or verse text.
  • speaker A specialized form of heading or label, giving the name of one or more speakers in a dramatic text or fragment.
  • stage (stage direction) contains any kind of stage direction within a dramatic text or fragment.
Here, for example, is the start of a poetic text in which verse lines and stanzas are tagged:
<lg n="I">
 <l>I Sing the progresse of a
   deathlesse soule,</l>
 <l>Whom Fate, with God made,
   but doth not controule,</l>
 <l>Plac'd in most shapes; all times
   before the law</l>
 <l>Yoak'd us, and when, and since,
   in this I sing.</l>
 <l>And the great world to his aged evening;</l>
 <l>From infant morne, through manly noone I draw.</l>
 <l>What the gold Chaldee, of silver Persian saw,</l>
 <l>Greeke brass, or Roman iron, is in this one;</l>
 <l>A worke t'out weare Seths pillars, bricke and stone,</l>
 <l>And (holy writs excepted) made to yeeld to none,</l>
</lg>

Note that the <l> element marks verse lines, not typographic lines: the original lineation of the first few lines above has not therefore been made explicit by this encoding, and may be lost. The <lb> element described in section 5 Page and Line Numbers may be used to mark typographic lines if so desired.

Sometimes, particularly in dramatic texts, verse lines are split between speakers. The easiest way of encoding this is to use the part attribute to indicate that the lines so fragmented are incomplete, as in this example:
<div type="Actn="I">
 <head>ACT I</head>
 <div type="Scenen="1">
  <head>SCENE I</head>
  <stage rend="italic">Enter Barnardo and Francisco, two Sentinels, at several doors</stage>
  <sp>
   <speaker>Barn</speaker>
   <l part="Y">Who's there?</l>
  </sp>
  <sp>
   <speaker>Fran</speaker>
   <l>Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold
       yourself.</l>
  </sp>
  <sp>
   <speaker>Barn</speaker>
   <l part="I">Long live the King!</l>
  </sp>
  <sp>
   <speaker>Fran</speaker>
   <l part="M">Barnardo?</l>
  </sp>
  <sp>
   <speaker>Barn</speaker>
   <l part="F">He.</l>
  </sp>
  <sp>
   <speaker>Fran</speaker>
   <l>You come most carefully upon
       your hour.</l>
  </sp>
<!-- ... -->
 </div>
</div>
The same mechanism may be applied to stanzas which are divided between two speakers:
<div>
 <sp>
  <speaker>First voice</speaker>
  <lg type="stanzapart="I">
   <l>But why drives on that ship so fast</l>
   <l>Withouten wave or wind?</l>
  </lg>
 </sp>
 <sp>
  <speaker>Second Voice</speaker>
  <lg part="F">
   <l>The air is cut away before.</l>
   <l>And closes from behind.</l>
  </lg>
 </sp>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
This example shows how dialogue presented in a prose work as if it were drama should be encoded. It also demonstrates the use of the who attribute to bear a code identifying the speaker of the piece of dialogue concerned:
<div>
 <sp who="OPI">
  <speaker>The reverend Doctor Opimiam</speaker>
  <p>I do not think I have named a single unpresentable fish.</p>
 </sp>
 <sp who="GRM">
  <speaker>Mr Gryll</speaker>
  <p>Bream, Doctor: there is not much to be said for bream.</p>
 </sp>
 <sp who="OPI">
  <speaker>The Reverend Doctor Opimiam</speaker>
  <p>On the contrary, sir, I think there is much to be said for him.

5 Page and Line Numbers

Page and line breaks may be marked with the following empty elements. These elements mark a single point in the text, not a span of text. The global n attribute should be used to supply the number of the page or line beginning at the tag.

When working from a paginated original, it is often useful to record its pagination, if only to simplify later proof-reading. Recording the line breaks may be useful for the same reason; treatment of end-of-line hyphenation in printed source texts will require some consideration.

If pagination, etc., are marked for more than one edition, specify the edition in question using the ed attribute, and supply as many tags are necessary. For example, in the following passage we indicate where the page breaks occur in two different editions (ED1 and ED2)
<p>I wrote to Moor House and to Cambridge immediately, to
say what I had done: fully explaining also why I had thus
acted. Diana and <pb ed="ED1n="475"/> Mary approved the
step unreservedly. Diana announced that she would
<pb ed="ED2n="485"/>just give me time to get over the
honeymoon, and then she would come and see me.</p>

The <pb> and <lb> elements are special cases of the general class of milestone elements which mark reference points within a text. TEI Lite also includes a generic <milestone> element, which is not restricted to special cases but can mark any kind of reference point: for example, a column break, the start of a new kind of section not otherwise tagged, or in general any significant change in the text not marked by an XML element. The names used for types of unit and for editions referred to by the ed and unit attributes may be chosen freely, but should be documented in the header. The <milestone> element may be used to replace the others, or the others may be used as a set; they should not be mixed arbitrarily.

6 Marking Highlighted Phrases

6.1 Changes of Typeface, etc.

Highlighted words or phrases are those made visibly different from the rest of the text, typically by a change of type font, handwriting style, ink colour etc., which is intended to draw the reader's attention to some associated change.

The global rend attribute can be attached to any element, and used wherever necessary to specify details of the highlighting used for it. For example, a heading rendered in bold might be tagged <head rend="bold">, and one in italic <head rend="italic">.

It is not always possible or desirable to interpret the reasons for such changes of rendering in a text. In such cases, the element <hi> may be used to mark a sequence of highlighted text without making any claim as to its status.
  • hi (highlighted) marks a word or phrase as graphically distinct from the surrounding text, for reasons concerning which no claim is made.
In the following example, the use of a distinct typeface for the subheading and for the included name are recorded but not interpreted:
<p>
 <hi rend="gothic">And this Indenture further witnesseth</hi>
that the said <hi rend="italic">Walter Shandy</hi>, merchant,
in consideration of the said intended marriage ...
</p>
Alternatively, where the cause for the highlighting can be identified with confidence, a number of other, more specific, elements are available.
  • emph (emphasized) marks words or phrases which are stressed or emphasized for linguistic or rhetorical effect.
  • foreign (foreign) identifies a word or phrase as belonging to some language other than that of the surrounding text.
  • gloss identifies a phrase or word used to provide a gloss or definition for some other word or phrase.
  • label contains the label associated with an item in a list; in glossaries, marks the term being defined.
  • mentioned marks words or phrases mentioned, not used.
  • term contains a single-word, multi-word, or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term.
  • title contains the full title of a work of any kind.

Some features (notably quotations and glosses) may be found in a text either marked by highlighting, or with quotation marks. In either case, the elements <q> and <gloss> (as discussed in the following section) should be used. If the rendition is to be recorded, use the global rend attribute.

As an example of the elements defined here, consider the following sentence:

On the one hand the Nibelungenlied is associated with the new rise of romance of twelfth-century France, the romans d'antiquité, the romances of Chrétien de Troyes, and the German adaptations of these works by Heinrich van Veldeke, Hartmann von Aue, and Wolfram von Eschenbach.

Interpreting the role of the highlighting, the sentence might look like this:
<p>On the one hand the <title>Nibelungenlied</title> is associated
with the new rise of romance of twelfth-century France, the
<foreign>romans d'antiquité</foreign>, the romances of
Chrétien de Troyes, ...</p>
Describing only the appearance of the original, it might look like this:
<p>On the one hand the <hi rend="italic">Nibelungenlied</hi>
is associated with the new rise of romance of twelfth-century
France, the <hi rend="italic">romans
   d'antiquité</hi>, the romances of
Chrétien de Troyes, ...</p>

6.2 Quotations and Related Features

Like changes of typeface, quotation marks are conventionally used to denote several different features within a text, of which the most frequent is quotation. When possible, we recommend that the underlying feature be tagged, rather than the simple fact that quotation marks appear in the text, using the following elements:
  • q (separated from the surrounding text with quotation marks) contains material which is marked as (ostensibly) being somehow different than the surrounding text, for any one of a variety of reasons including, but not limited to: direct speech or thought, technical terms or jargon, authorial distance, quotations from elsewhere, and passages that are mentioned but not used.
  • quote (quotation) contains a phrase or passage attributed by the narrator or author to some agency external to the text.
  • mentioned marks words or phrases mentioned, not used.
  • soCalled contains a word or phrase for which the author or narrator indicates a disclaiming of responsibility, for example by the use of scare quotes or italics.
  • gloss identifies a phrase or word used to provide a gloss or definition for some other word or phrase.
Here is a simple example of a quotation:
<p>Few dictionary makers are likely to forget
Dr. Johnson's description of the
lexicographer as <q>a harmless drudge.</q>
</p>

To record how a quotation was printed (for example, in-line or set off as a display or block quotation), the rend attribute should be used. This may also be used to indicate the kind of quotation marks used.

Direct speech interrupted by a narrator can be represented simply by ending the quotation and beginning it again after the interruption, as in the following example:
<p>
 <q>Who-e debel you?</q> — he at last said — <q>you
   no speak-e, damme, I kill-e.</q> And so saying, the lighted
tomahawk began flourishing about me in the dark.
</p>
If it is important to convey the idea that the two <q> elements together make up a single speech, the linking attributes next and prev may be used, as described in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking.
Quotations may be accompanied by a reference to the source or speaker, using the who attribute, whether or not the source is given in the text, as in the following example:
<q who="Wilson">Spaulding, he came down into the office just this
day eight weeks with this very paper in his hand, and he
says:—<q who="Spaulding">I wish to the Lord, Mr. Wilson, that
   I was a red-headed man.</q>
</q>
This example also demonstrates how quotations may be embedded within other quotations: one speaker (Wilson) quotes another speaker (Spaulding).

The creator of the electronic text must decide whether quotation marks are replaced by the tags or whether the tags are added and the quotation marks kept. If the quotation marks are removed from the text, the rend attribute may be used to record the way in which they were rendered in the copy text.

As with highlighting, it is not always possible and may not be considered desirable to interpret the function of quotation marks in a text in this way. In such cases, the tag <hi rend="quoted"> might be used to mark quoted text without making any claim as to its status.

6.3 Foreign Words or Expressions

Words or phrases which are not in the main language of the texts may be tagged as such in one of two ways. If the word or phrase is already tagged for some reason, the element indicated should bear a value for the global xml:lang attribute indicating the language used. Where there is no applicable element, the element <foreign> may be used, again using the xml:lang attribute. For example:
<p>John has real
<foreign xml:lang="fra">savoir-faire</foreign>.</p>
<p>Have you read <title xml:lang="deu">Die Dreigroschenoper</title>?</p>
<p>
 <mentioned xml:lang="fra">Savoir-faire</mentioned> is French for
know-how.
</p>
<p>The court issued a writ of <term xml:lang="lat">mandamus</term>.</p>

As these examples show, the <foreign> element should not be used to tag foreign words if some other more specific element such as <title>, <mentioned>, or <term> applies. The global xml:lang attribute may be attached to any element to show that it uses some other language than that of the surrounding text.

The codes used to identify languages, supplied on the xml:lang attribute, must be constructed in a particular way, and must conform to common Internet standards1, as further explained in the relevant section of the TEI Guidelines. Some simple example codes for a few languages are given here:
zh or zhoChinesegrcAncient Greek
enEnglishell or elGreek
enmMiddle Englishja or jpnJapanese
fr or fraFrenchla or latLatin
de or deuGermansa or sanSanskrit

7 Notes

All notes, whether printed as footnotes, endnotes, marginalia, or elsewhere, should be marked using the same element: Where possible, the body of a note should be inserted in the text at the point at which its identifier or mark first appears. This may not be possible for example with marginalia, which may not be anchored to an exact location. For simplicity, it may be adequate to position marginal notes before the relevant paragraph or other element. Notes may also be placed in a separate division of the text (as end-notes are, in printed books) and linked to the relevant portion of the text using their target attribute.

The n attribute may be used to supply the number or identifier of a note if this is required. The resp attribute should be used consistently to distinguish between authorial and editorial notes, if the work has both kinds; otherwise, the TEI header should state which kind they are.

Examples:
<p>Collections are ensembles of distinct
entities or objects of any sort.
<note place="footn="1">We explain below why we use the uncommon term
 <mentioned>collection</mentioned>
   instead of the expected <mentioned>set</mentioned>.
   Our usage corresponds to the <mentioned>aggregate</mentioned>
   of many mathematical writings and to the sense of
 <mentioned>class</mentioned> found
   in older logical writings.
 </note>
The elements ...</p>
<lg xml:id="RAM609">

 <l>I viewed the ocean green,</l>
 <l>And looked far forth, yet little saw</l>
 <l>Of what had else been seen —</l>
</lg>

8 Cross References and Links

Explicit cross references or links from one point in a text to another in the same or another document may be encoded using the elements described in this section. Implicit links (such as the association between two parallel texts, or that between a text and its interpretation) may be encoded using the linking attributes discussed in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking.

8.1 Simple Cross References

A cross reference from one point within a single document to another can be encoded using either of the following elements:
  • ref (reference) defines a reference to another location, possibly modified by additional text or comment.
  • ptr/ (pointer) defines a pointer to another location.

The difference between these two elements is that <ptr> is an empty element, simply marking a point from which a link is to be made, whereas <ref> may contain some text as well — typically the text of the cross-reference itself. The <ptr> element would be used for a cross reference which is to be indicated by some non-verbal means such as a symbol or icon, or in an electronic text by a button. It is also useful in document production systems, where the formatter can generate the correct verbal form of the cross reference.

The following two forms, for example, are logically equivalent (assuming we have documented somewhere the exact verbal form of cross references represented by <ptr> elements):
See especially <ref target="#SEC12">section 12 on page
34</ref>.
See especially <ptr target="#SEC12"/>.
The value of the target attribute must have been used as the identifier of some other element within the current document. This implies that the passage or phrase being pointed at must bear an identifier, and must therefore be tagged as an element of some kind. In the following example, the cross reference is to a <div> element:
...
see especially <ptr target="#SEC12"/>.
...

<div xml:id="SEC12">
 <head>Concerning Identifiers</head>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
Because the xml:id attribute is global, any element in a document may be pointed to in this way. In the following example, a paragraph has been given an identifier so that it may be pointed at:
...
this is discussed in <ref target="#pspec">the paragraph on links</ref>
...

<p xml:id="pspec">Links may be made to any kind of element
...</p>
Sometimes the target of a cross reference does not correspond with any particular feature of a text, and so may not be tagged as an element of some kind. If the desired target is simply a point in the current document, the easiest way to mark it is by introducing an <anchor> element at the appropriate spot. If the target is some sequence of words not otherwise tagged, the <seg> element may be introduced to mark them. These two elements are described as follows:
  • anchor/ (anchor point) attaches an identifier to a point within a text, whether or not it corresponds with a textual element.
  • seg (arbitrary segment) represents any segmentation of text below the ‘chunk’ level.
In the following (imaginary) example, <ref> elements have been used to represent points in this text which are to be linked in some way to other parts of it; in the first case to a point, and in the second, to a sequence of words:
Returning to <ref target="#ABCD">the point where I dozed
off</ref>, I noticed that <ref target="#EFGH">three
words</ref> had been circled in red by a previous reader
This encoding requires that elements with the specified identifiers (ABCD and EFGH in this example) are to be found somewhere else in the current document. Assuming that no element already exists to carry these identifiers, the <anchor> and <seg> elements may be used:
.... <anchor type="bookmarkxml:id="ABCD"/> ....
....<seg type="targetxml:id="EFGH"> ... </seg> ...

The type attribute should be used (as above) to distinguish amongst different purposes for which these general purpose elements might be used in a text. Some other uses are discussed in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking below.

8.2 Pointing to other documents

So far, we have shown how the elements <ptr> and <ref> may be used for cross-references or links whose targets occur within the same document as their source. However, the same elements may also be used to refer to elements in any other XML document or resource, such as a document on the web, or a database component. This is possible because the value of the target attribute may be any valid universal resource indicator (URI). A full definition of this term, defined by the W3C (the consortium which manages the development and maintenance of the World Wide Web), is beyond the scope of this tutorial: however, the most frequently encountered version of a URI is the familiar ‘URL’ used to indicate a web page, such as http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml.

A URL may reference a web page or just a part of one, for example http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml#SEC2. The sharp sign indicates that what follows it is the identifier of an element to be located within the XML document identified by what precedes it: this example will therefore locate an element which has an xml:id attribute value of SEC2 within the document retrieved from http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml. In the examples we have discussed so far, the part to the left of the sharp sign has been omitted: this is understood to mean that the referenced element is to be located within the current document.

Within a URL, parts of an XML document can be specified by means of other more sophisticated mechanisms, using a special language called Xpath, also defined by the W3C. This is particularly useful where the elements to be linked to do not bear identifiers and must therefore be located by some other means. A full specification of the language is well beyond the scope of this document; here we provide only a flavour of its power.

In the XPath language, locations are defined as a series of steps, each one identifying some part of the document, often in terms of the locations identified by the previous step. For example, you would point to the third sentence of the second paragraph of chapter two by selecting chapter two in the first step, the second paragraph in the second step, and the third sentence in the last step. A step can be defined in terms of the document tree itself, using such concepts as parent, descendent, preceding, etc. or, more loosely, in terms of text patterns, word or character positions.

8.3 Special kinds of Linking

The following special purpose linking attributes are defined for every element in the TEI Lite scheme:
ana
links an element with its interpretation.
corresp
links an element with one or more other corresponding elements.
next
links an element to the next element in an aggregate.
prev
links an element to the previous element in an aggregate.
The ana (analysis) attribute is intended for use where a set of abstract analyses or interpretations have been defined somewhere within a document, as further discussed in section 15 Interpretation and Analysis. For example, a linguistic analysis of the sentence ‘John loves Nancy’ might be encoded as follows:
<seg type="sentenceana="SVO">
 <seg type="lexana="#NP1">John</seg>
 <seg type="lexana="#VVI">loves</seg>
 <seg type="lexana="#NP1">Nancy</seg>
</seg>
This encoding implies the existence elsewhere in the document of elements with identifiers SVO, NP1, and VV1 where the significance of these particular codes is explained. Note the use of the <seg> element to mark particular components of the analysis, distinguished by the type attribute.
The corresp (corresponding) attribute provides a simple way of representing some form of correspondence between two elements in a text. For example, in a multilingual text, it may be used to link translation equivalents, as in the following example
<seg xml:lang="fraxml:id="FR1corresp="#EN1">Jean aime Nancy</seg>
<seg xml:lang="enxml:id="EN1corresp="#FR1">John loves Nancy</seg>
The same mechanism may be used for a variety of purposes. In the following example, it has been used to represent anaphoric correspondences between ‘the show’ and ‘Shirley’, and between ‘NBC’ and ‘the network’:
<p>
 <title xml:id="shirley">Shirley</title>, which made
its Friday night debut only a month ago, was
not listed on <name xml:id="nbc">NBC</name>'s new schedule,
although <seg xml:id="networkcorresp="#nbc">the network</seg>
says <seg xml:id="showcorresp="#shirley">the show</seg>
still is being considered.
</p>
The next and prev attributes provide a simple way of linking together the components of a discontinuous element, as in the following example:
<q xml:id="Q1anext="#Q1b">Who-e debel you?</q>
— he at last said — <q xml:id="Q1bprev="#Q1a">you no speak-e,
damme, I kill-e.</q> And so saying,
the lighted tomahawk began flourishing
about me in the dark.

9 Editorial Interventions

The process of encoding an electronic text has much in common with the process of editing a manuscript or other text for printed publication. In either case a conscientious editor may wish to record both the original state of the source and any editorial correction or other change made in it. The elements discussed in this and the next section provide some facilities for meeting these needs.

9.1 Correction and Normalization

The following elements may be used to mark correction, that is editorial changes introduced where the editor believes the original to be erroneous:
  • corr (correction) contains the correct form of a passage apparently erroneous in the copy text.
  • sic (latin for thus or so) contains text reproduced although apparently incorrect or inaccurate.
The following elements may be used to mark normalization, that is editorial changes introduced for the sake of consistency or modernization of a text:
  • orig (original form) contains a reading which is marked as following the original, rather than being normalized or corrected.
  • reg (regularization) contains a reading which has been regularized or normalized in some sense.
As an example, consider this extract from the quarto printing of Shakespeare's Henry V.
... for his nose was as sharp as a pen and a table of green feelds
A modern editor might wish to make a number of interventions here, specifically to modernize (or normalise) the Elizabethan spellings of a' and feelds for he and fields respectively. He or she might also want to emend table to babbl'd, following an editorial tradition that goes back to the 18th century Shakesperean scholar Theobald. The following encoding would then be appropriate:
... for his nose was as sharp as a pen and <reg>he</reg>
<corr resp="#Theobald">babbl'd</corr> of green

<reg>fields</reg>
A more conservative or source-oriented editor, however, might want to retain the original, but at the same time signal that some of the readings it contains are in some sense anomalous:
... for his nose was as sharp as a pen and <orig>a</orig>
<sic>table</sic> of green

<orig>feelds</orig>
Finally, a modern digital editor may decide to combine both possibilities in a single composite text, using the <choice> element.
  • choice groups a number of alternative encodings for the same point in a text.
This allows an editor to mark where alternative readings are possible:
... for his nose was
as sharp as a pen and
<choice>
 <orig>a</orig>
 <reg>he</reg>
</choice>
<choice>
 <corr resp="#Theobald">babbl'd</corr>
 <sic>table</sic>
</choice>
of green

<choice>
 <orig>feelds</orig>
 <reg>fields</reg>
</choice>

9.2 Omissions, Deletions, and Additions

In addition to correcting or normalizing words and phrases, editors and transcribers may also supply missing material, omit material, or transcribe material deleted or crossed out in the source. In addition, some material may be particularly hard to transcribe because it is hard to make out on the page. The following elements may be used to record such phenomena:
  • add (addition) contains letters, words, or phrases inserted in the text by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector.
  • gap indicates a point where material has been omitted in a transcription, whether for editorial reasons described in the TEI header, as part of sampling practice, or because the material is illegible, invisible, or inaudible.
  • 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, annotator, or corrector.
  • unclear contains a word, phrase, or passage which cannot be transcribed with certainty because it is illegible or inaudible in the source.
These elements may be used to record changes made by an editor, by the transcriber, or (in manuscript material) by the author or scribe. For example, if the source for an electronic text read
The following elements are provided for for simple editorial interventions.
then it might be felt desirable to correct the obvious error, but at the same time to record the deletion of the superfluous second for, thus:
The following elements are provided for
<del resp="#LB">for</del> simple editorial interventions.
The attribute value LB on the resp attribute indicates that ‘LB’ corrected the duplication of for.
If the source read
The following elements provided for simple editorial interventions.
(i.e. if the verb had been inadvertently dropped) then the corrected text might read:
The following elements <add resp="#LB">are</add> provided for
simple editorial interventions.
These elements are not limited to changes made by an editor; they can also be used to record authorial changes in manuscripts. A manuscript in which the author has first written ‘How it galls me, what a galling shadow’, then crossed out the word galls and inserted dogs might be encoded thus:
How it <del hand="DHLtype="overstrike">galls</del>
<add hand="DHLplace="supralinear">dogs</add> me,
what a galling shadow
Similarly, the <unclear> and <gap> elements may be used together to indicate the omission of illegible material; the following example also shows the use of <add> for a conjectural emendation:
One hundred &amp; twenty good regulars joined to me
<unclear>
 <gap reason="indecipherable"/>
</unclear>
&amp; instantly, would aid me signally <add hand="ed">in?</add>
an enterprise against Wilmington.
The <del> element marks material which is transcribed as part of the electronic text despite being marked as deleted, while <gap> marks the location of material which is omitted from the electronic text, whether it is legible or not. A language corpus, for example, might omit long quotations in foreign languages:
<p> ... An example of a list appearing in a fief ledger of
<name type="place">Koldinghus</name>
 <date>1611/12</date>
is given below. It shows cash income from a sale of
honey.</p>
<gap>
 <desc>quotation from ledger (in Danish)</desc>
</gap>
<p>A description of the overall structure of the account is
once again ... </p>
Other corpora (particular those constructed before the widespread use of scanners) systematically omit figures and mathematics:
<p>At the bottom of your screen below the mode line is the
<term>minibuffer</term>. This is the area where Emacs
echoes the commands you enter and where you specify
filenames for Emacs to find, values for search and replace,
and so on.
<gap reason="graphic">
  <desc>diagram of Emacs screen</desc>
 </gap>
</p>

9.3 Abbreviations and their Expansion

Like names, dates, and numbers, abbreviations may be transcribed as they stand or expanded; they may be left unmarked, or encoded using the following elements:
  • abbr (abbreviation) contains an abbreviation of any sort.
  • expan (expansion) contains the expansion of an abbreviation.
The <abbr> element is useful as a means of distinguishing semi-lexical items such as acronyms or jargon:
We can sum up the above discussion as follows: the identity of a
<abbr>CC</abbr> is defined by that calibration of values which
motivates the elements of its <abbr>GSP</abbr>;
Every manufacturer of <abbr>3GL</abbr> or <abbr>4GL</abbr>
languages is currently nailing on <abbr>OOP</abbr> extensions

The type attribute may be used to distinguish types of abbreviation by their function.

The <expan> element is used to mark an expansion supplied by an encoder. This element is particularly useful in the transcription of manuscript materials. For example, the character p with a bar through its descender as a conventional representation for the word per is commonly encountered in Medieval European manuscripts. An encoder may choose to expand this as follows:
<expan>per</expan>
The expansion corresponding with an abbreviated form may not always contain the same letters as the abbreviation. Where it does, however, common editorial practice is to italicize or otherwise signal which letters have been supplied. The <expan> element should not be used for this purpose since its function is to indicate an expanded form, not a part of one. For example, consider the common abbreviation wt (for with) found in medieval texts. In a modern edition, an editor might wish to represent this as ‘with’, italicising the letters not found in the source. An appropriate encoding for this purpose would be
<expan>w<hi>i</hi>t<hi>h</hi>
</expan>
To record both an abbreviation and its expansion, the <choice> element mentioned above may be used to group the abbreviated form with its proposed expansion:
<choice>
 <abbr>wt</abbr>
 <expan>with</expan>
</choice>

10 Names, Dates, and Numbers

The TEI scheme defines elements for a large number of ‘data-like’ features which may appear almost anywhere within almost any kind of text. These features may be of particular interest in a range of disciplines; they all relate to objects external to the text itself, such as the names of persons and places, numbers and dates. They also pose particular problems for many natural language processing (NLP) applications because of the variety of ways in which they may be presented within a text. The elements described here, by making such features explicit, reduce the complexity of processing texts containing them.

10.1 Names and Referring Strings

A referring string is a phrase which refers to some person, place, object, etc. Two elements are provided to mark such strings:
  • rs (referencing string) contains a general purpose name or referring string.
  • name (name, proper noun) contains a proper noun or noun phrase.
The type attribute is used to distinguish amongst (for example) names of persons, places and organizations, where this is possible:
<q>My dear <rs type="person">Mr. Bennet</rs>, </q>
said his lady to him one day,
<q>have you heard
that <rs type="place">Netherfield Park</rs> is let
at last?</q>
It being one of the principles of the
<rs type="organization">Circumlocution Office</rs> never,
on any account whatsoever, to give a straightforward answer,
<rs type="person">Mr Barnacle</rs> said,
<q>Possibly.</q>
As the following example shows, the <rs> element may be used for any reference to a person, place, etc, not necessarily one in the form of a proper noun or noun phrase.
<q>My dear <rs type="person">Mr. Bennet</rs>,</q>
said <rs type="person">his lady</rs> to him
one day...

The <name> element by contrast is provided for the special case of referencing strings which consist only of proper nouns; it may be used synonymously with the <rs> element, or nested within it if a referring string contains a mixture of common and proper nouns.

Simply tagging something as a name is rarely enough to enable automatic processing of personal names into the canonical forms usually required for reference purposes. The name as it appears in the text may be inconsistently spelled, partial, or vague. Moreover, name prefixes such as van or de la, may or may not be included as part of the reference form of a name, depending on the language and country of origin of the bearer.

The key attribute provides an alternative normalized identifier for the object being named, like a database record key. It may thus be useful as a means of gathering together all references to the same individual or location scattered throughout a document:
<q>My dear <rs type="personkey="BENM1">Mr. Bennet</rs>,
</q> said <rs type="personkey="BENM2">his lady</rs>
to him one day,
<q>have you heard that
<rs type="placekey="NETP1">Netherfield Park</rs>
is let at last?</q>
This use should be distinguished from the case of the <reg> (regularization) element, which provides a means of marking the standard form of a referencing string as demonstrated below:
<name type="personkey="WADLM1">
 <choice>
  <sic>Walter de la Mare</sic>
  <reg>de la Mare, Walter</reg>
 </choice>
</name> was born at
<name key="Ch1type="place">Charlton</name>, in
<name key="KT1type="county">Kent</name>, in 1873.
The <index> element discussed in indexing may be more appropriate if the function of the regularization is to provide a consistent index:
<p>
 <name type="place">Montaillou</name> is not a large parish.
At the time of the events which led to
<name type="person">Fournier</name>'s <index>

investigations, the local population consisted of between 200 and 250 inhabitants.
</p>
Although adequate for many simple applications, these methods have two inconveniences: if the name occurs many times, then its regularised form must be repeated many times; and the burden of additional XML markup in the body of the text may be inconvenient to maintain and complex to process. For applications such as onomastics, relating to persons or places named rather than the name itself, or wherever a detailed analysis of the component parts of a name is needed, the full TEI Guidelines provide a range of other solutions.

10.2 Dates and Times

Tags for the more detailed encoding of times and dates include the following:
  • date contains a date in any format.
  • time contains a phrase defining a time of day in any format.
The value attribute specifies a normalized form for the date or time, using one of the standard formats defined by ISO 8601. Partial dates or times (e.g. ‘1990’, ‘September 1990’, ‘twelvish’) can be expressed by omitting a part of the value supplied, as in the following examples:
<date when="1980-02-21">21 Feb 1980</date>
<date when="1990">1990</date>
<date when="1990-09">September 1990</date>
<date when="--09">September</date>
<date when="2001-09-11T12:48:00">Sept 11th, 12 minutes before 9 am</date>
Note in the last example the use of a normalized representation for the date string which includes a time: this example could thus equally well be tagged using the <time> element.
Given on the <date when="1977-06-12">Twelfth Day of June
in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and
Seventy-seven of the Republic the Two Hundredth and first
and of the University the Eighty-Sixth.</date>
<l>specially when it's nine below zero</l>
<l>and <time when="15:00:00">three o'clock in the
   afternoon</time>
</l>

10.3 Numbers

Numbers can be written with either letters or digits (twenty-one, xxi, and 21) and their presentation is language-dependent (e.g. English 5th becomes Greek 5.; English 123,456.78 equals French 123.456,78). In natural-language processing or machine-translation applications, it is often helpful to distinguish them from other, more ‘lexical’ parts of the text. In other applications, the ability to record a number's value in standard notation is important. The <num> element provides this possibility:
  • num (number) contains a number, written in any form.
For example:
<num value="33">xxxiii</num>
<num type="cardinalvalue="21">twenty-one</num>
<num type="percentagevalue="10">ten percent</num>
<num type="percentagevalue="10">10%</num>
<num type="ordinalvalue="5">5th</num>

11 Lists

The element <list> is used to mark any kind of list. A list is a sequence of text items, which may be ordered, unordered, or a glossary list. Each item may be preceded by an item label (in a glossary list, this label is the term being defined):
Individual list items are tagged with <item>. The first <item> may optionally be preceded by a <head>, which gives a heading for the list. The numbering of a list may be omitted, indicated using the n attribute on each item, or (rarely) tagged as content using the <label> element. The following are all thus equivalent:
<list>
 <head>A short list</head>
 <item>First item in list.</item>
 <item>Second item in list.</item>
 <item>Third item in list.</item>
</list>
<list>
 <head>A short list</head>
 <item n="1">First item in list.</item>
 <item n="2">Second item in list.</item>
 <item n="3">Third item in list.</item>
</list>
<list>
 <head>A short list</head>
 <label>1</label>
 <item>First item in list.</item>
 <label>2</label>
 <item>Second item in list.</item>
 <label>3</label>
 <item>Third item in list.</item>
</list>
The styles should not be mixed in the same list.
A simple two-column table may be treated as a glossary list, tagged <list type="gloss">. Here, each item comprises a term and a gloss, marked with <label> and <item> respectively. These correspond to the elements <term> and <gloss>, which can occur anywhere in prose text.
<list type="gloss">
 <head>Vocabulary</head>
 <label xml:lang="enm">nu</label>
 <item>now</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">lhude</label>
 <item>loudly</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">bloweth</label>
 <item>blooms</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">med</label>
 <item>meadow</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">wude</label>
 <item>wood</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">awe</label>
 <item>ewe</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">lhouth</label>
 <item>lows</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">sterteth</label>
 <item>bounds, frisks</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">verteth</label>
 <item xml:lang="lat">pedit</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">murie</label>
 <item>merrily</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">swik</label>
 <item>cease</item>
 <label xml:lang="enm">naver</label>
 <item>never</item>
</list>

Where the internal structure of a list item is more complex, it may be preferable to regard the list as a table, for which special-purpose tagging is defined below (13 Tables).

Lists of whatever kind can, of course, nest within list items to any depth required. Here, for example, a glossary list contains two items, each of which is itself a simple list:
<list type="gloss">
 <label>EVIL</label>
 <item>
  <list type="simple">
   <item>I am cast upon a horrible desolate island, void
       of all hope of recovery.</item>
   <item>I am singled out and separated as it were from
       all the world to be miserable.</item>
   <item>I am divided from mankind — a solitaire; one
       banished from human society.</item>
  </list>
 </item>
 <label>GOOD</label>
 <item>
  <list type="simple">
   <item>But I am alive; and not drowned, as all my
       ship's company were.</item>
   <item>But I am singled out, too, from all the ship's
       crew, to be spared from death...</item>
   <item>But I am not starved, and perishing on a barren place,
       affording no sustenances....</item>
  </list>
 </item>
</list>
A list need not necessarily be displayed in list format. For example,
<p>On those remote pages it is written that animals are
divided into <list rend="run-on">
  <item n="a">those that belong to the
     Emperor,</item>
  <item n="b"> embalmed ones, </item>
  <item n="c"> those
     that are trained, </item>
  <item n="d"> suckling pigs, </item>
  <item n="e">mermaids, </item>
  <item n="f"> fabulous ones, </item>
  <item n="g"> stray
     dogs, </item>
  <item n="h"> those that are included in this
     classification, </item>
  <item n="i"> those that tremble as if they
     were mad, </item>
  <item n="j"> innumerable ones, </item>
  <item n="k"> those
     drawn with a very fine camel's-hair brush, </item>
  <item n="l">others, </item>
  <item n="m"> those that have just broken a flower
     vase, </item>
  <item n="n"> those that resemble flies from a
     distance.</item>
 </list>
</p>

Lists of bibliographic items should be tagged using the <listBibl> element, described in the next section.

12 Bibliographic Citations

It is often useful to distinguish bibliographic citations where they occur within texts being transcribed for research, if only so that they will be properly formatted when the text is printed out. The element <bibl> is provided for this purpose. Where the components of a bibliographic reference are to be distinguished, the following elements may be used as appropriate. It is generally useful to mark at least those parts (such as the titles of articles, books, and journals) which will need special formatting. The other elements are provided for cases where particular interest attaches to such details.
For example, the following editorial note might be transcribed as shown:

He was a member of Parliament for Warwickshire in 1445, and died March 14, 1470 (according to Kittredge, Harvard Studies 5. 88ff).

He was a member of Parliament for Warwickshire in 1445, and died
March 14, 1470 (according to <bibl>
 <author>Kittredge</author>,
<title>Harvard Studies</title>
 <biblScope>5. 88ff</biblScope>
</bibl>).

For lists of bibliographic citations, the <listBibl> element should be used; it may contain a series of <bibl> elements.

13 Tables

Tables represent a challenge for any text processing system, but simple tables, at least, appear in so many texts that even in the simplified TEI tag set presented here, markup for tables is necessary. The following elements are provided for this purpose:
For example, Defoe uses mortality tables like the following in the Journal of the Plague Year to show the rise and ebb of the epidemic:
<p>It was indeed coming on amain, for the burials that
same week were in the next adjoining parishes thus:—
<table rows="5cols="4">
  <row role="data">
   <cell role="label">St. Leonard's, Shoreditch</cell>
   <cell>64</cell>
   <cell>84</cell>
   <cell>119</cell>
  </row>
  <row role="data">
   <cell role="label">St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate</cell>
   <cell>65</cell>
   <cell>105</cell>
   <cell>116</cell>
  </row>
  <row role="data">
   <cell role="label">St. Giles's, Cripplegate</cell>

   <cell>554</cell>
  </row>
 </table>

<p>This shutting up of houses was at first counted a very cruel
and unchristian method, and the poor people so confined made
bitter lamentations. ... </p>

14 Figures and Graphics

Not all the components of a document are necessarily textual. The most straightforward text will often contain diagrams or illustrations, to say nothing of documents in which image and text are inextricably intertwined, or electronic resources in which the two are complementary.

The encoder may simply record the presence of a graphic within the text, possibly with a brief description of its content, by using the elements described in this section. The same elements may also be used to embed digitized versions of the graphic within an electronic document.

Any textual information accompanying the graphic, such as a heading and/or caption, may be included within the <figure> element itself, in a <head> and one or more <p> elements, as may also any text appearing within the graphic itself. It is strongly recommended that a prose description of the image be supplied, as the content of a <figDesc> element, for the use of applications which are not able to render the graphic, and to render the document accessible to vision-impaired readers. (Such text is not normally considered part of the document proper.)

The simplest use for these elements is to mark the position of a graphic and provide a link to it, as in this example;
<pb n="412"/>
<graphic url="p412fig.png"/>
<pb n="413"/>
This indicates that the graphic contained by the file p412fig.png appears between pages 412 and 413.
The <graphic> element can appear anywhere that textual content is permitted, within but not between paragraphs or headings. In the following example, the encoder has decided to treat a specific printer's ornament as a heading:
<head>
 <graphic
   url=" "/>

</head>
More usually, a graphic will have at the least an identifying title, which may be encoded using the <head> element, or a number of figures may be grouped together in a particular structure. It is also often convenient to include a brief description of the image. The <figure> element provides a means of wrapping one or more such elements together as a kind of graphic ‘block’:
<figure>
 <graphic url="fessipic.png"/>
 <head>Mr Fezziwig's Ball</head>
 <figDesc>A Cruikshank engraving showing Mr Fezziwig leading
   a group of revellers.</figDesc>
</figure>

When a digitized version of the graphic concerned is available, it may be embedded at the appropriate point within the document in this way.

15 Interpretation and Analysis

It is often said that all markup is a form of interpretation or analysis. While it is certainly difficult, and may be impossible, to distinguish firmly between ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ information in any universal way, it remains true that judgments concerning the latter are typically regarded as more likely to provide controversy than those concerning the former. Many scholars therefore prefer to record such interpretations only if it is possible to alert the reader that they are considered more open to dispute, than the rest of the markup. This section describes some of the elements provided by the TEI scheme to meet this need.

15.1 Orthographic Sentences

Interpretation typically ranges across the whole of a text, with no particular respect to other structural units. A useful preliminary to intensive interpretation is therefore to segment the text into discrete and identifiable units, each of which can then bear a label for use as a sort of ‘canonical reference’. To facilitate such uses, these units may not cross each other, nor nest within each other. They may conveniently be represented using the following element:
  • s (s-unit) contains a sentence-like division of a text.
As the name suggests, the <s> element is most commonly used (in linguistic applications at least) for marking orthographic sentences, that is, units defined by orthographic features such as punctuation. For example, the passage from Jane Eyre discussed earlier might be divided into s-units as follows:
<pb n="474"/>
<div type="chaptern="38">
 <p>
  <s n="001">Reader, I married him.</s>
  <s n="002">A quiet wedding we had:</s>
  <s n="003">he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present.</s>
  <s n="004">When we got back from church, I went
     into the kitchen of the manor-house, where Mary was cooking
     the dinner, and John cleaning the knives,
     and I said —</s>
 </p>
 <p>
  <q>
   <s n="005">Mary, I have been married to Mr Rochester
       this morning.</s>
  </q> ... </p>
</div>
Note that <s> elements cannot nest: the beginning of one <s> element implies that the previous one has finished. When s-units are tagged as shown above, it is advisable to tag the entire text end-to-end, so that every word in the text being analysed will be contained by exactly one <s> element, whose identifier can then be used to specify a unique reference for it. If the identifiers used are unique within the document, then the xml:id attribute might be used in preference to the n used in the above example.

15.2 General-Purpose Interpretation Elements

A more general purpose segmentation element, the <seg> has already been introduced for use in identifying otherwise unmarked targets of cross references and hypertext links (see section 8 Cross References and Links); it identifies some phrase-level portion of text to which the encoder may assign a user-specified type, as well as a unique identifier; it may thus be used to tag textual features for which there is no provision in the published TEI Guidelines.

For example, the Guidelines provide no ‘apostrophe’ element to mark parts of a literary text in which the narrator addresses the reader (or hearer) directly. One approach might be to regard these as instances of the <q> element, distinguished from others by an appropriate value for the who attribute. A possibly simpler, and certainly more general, solution would however be to use the <seg> element as follows:
<div type="chaptern="38">
 <p>
  <seg type="apostrophe">Reader, I married him.</seg>
   A quiet wedding we had: ...</p>
</div>
The type attribute on the <seg> element can take any value, and so can be used to record phrase-level phenomena of any kind; it is good practice to record the values used and their significance in the header.

A <seg> element of one type (unlike the <s> element which it superficially resembles) can be nested within a <seg> element of the same or another type. This enables quite complex structures to be represented; some examples were given in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking above. However, because it must respect the requirement that elements be properly nested, and may not cut across each other, it cannot cope with the common requirement to associate an interpretation with arbitrary segments of a text which may completely ignore the document hierarchy. It also requires that the interpretation itself be represented by a single coded value in the type attribute.

Neither restriction applies to the <interp> element, which provides powerful features for the encoding of quite complex interpretive information in a relatively straightforward manner.
  • interp (interpretation) summarizes a specific interpretative annotation which can be linked to a span of text.
  • interpGrp (interpretation group) collects together a set of related interpretations which share responsibility or type.
These elements allows the encoder to specify both the class of an interpretation, and the particular instance of that class which the interpretation involves. Thus, whereas with <seg> one can say simply that something is an apostrophe, with <interp> one can say that it is an instance (apostrophe) of a larger class (rhetorical figures).

Moreover, <interp> is an empty element, which must be linked to the passage to which it applies either by means of the ana attribute discussed in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking above, or by means of its own inst attribute. This means that any kind of analysis can be represented, with no need to respect the document hierarchy, and also facilitates the grouping of analyses of a particular type together. A special purpose <interpGrp> element is provided for the latter purpose.

For example, suppose that you wish to mark such diverse aspects of a text as themes or subject matter, rhetorical figures, and the locations of individual scenes of the narrative. Different portions of our sample passage from Jane Eyre for example, might be associated with the rhetorical figures of apostrophe, hyperbole, and metaphor; with subject-matter references to churches, servants, cooking, postal service, and honeymoons; and with scenes located in the church, in the kitchen, and in an unspecified location (drawing room?).

These interpretations could be placed anywhere within the <text> element; it is however good practice to put them all in the same place (e.g. a separate section of the front or back matter), as in the following example:
<back>
 <div type="Interpretations">
  <p>
   <interp xml:id="fig-apos-1resp="#LB-MSMtype="figureOfSpeech">apostrophe</interp>
   <interp xml:id="fig-hyp-1resp="#LB-MSMtype="figureOfSpeech">hyperbole</interp>
   <interp xml:id="set-church-1resp="#LB-MSMtype="setting">church</interp>
   <interp xml:id="ref-church-1resp="#LB-MSMtype="reference">church</interp>
   <interp xml:id="ref-serv-1resp="#LB-MSMtype="reference">servants</interp>
  </p>
 </div>
</back>
The evident redundancy of this encoding can be considerably reduced by using the <interpGrp> element to group together all those <interp> elements which share common attribute values, as follows:
<back>
 <div type="Interpretations">
  <p>
   <interpGrp type="figureOfSpeechresp="#LB-MSM">
    <interp xml:id="fig-apos">apostrophe</interp>
    <interp xml:id="fig-hyp">hyperbole</interp>
    <interp xml:id="fig-meta">metaphor</interp>
   </interpGrp>
   <interpGrp type="scene-settingresp="#LB-MSM">
    <interp xml:id="set-church">church</interp>
    <interp xml:id="set-kitch">kitchen</interp>
    <interp xml:id="set-unspec">unspecified</interp>
   </interpGrp>
   <interpGrp type="referenceresp="#LB-MSM">
    <interp xml:id="ref-church">church</interp>
    <interp xml:id="ref-serv">servants</interp>
    <interp xml:id="ref-cook">cooking</interp>
   </interpGrp>
  </p>
 </div>
</back>
Once these interpretation elements have been defined, they can be linked with the parts of the text to which they apply in either or both of two ways. The ana attribute can be used on whichever element is appropriate:
<div type="chaptern="38">
 <p xml:id="P38.1ana="#set-church #set-kitch">
  <s xml:id="P38.1.1ana="#fig-apos">Reader, I married him.</s>
 </p>
</div>
Note in this example that since the paragraph has two settings (in the church and in the kitchen), the identifiers of both have been supplied.
Alternatively, the <interp> elements can point to all the parts of the text to which they apply, using their inst attribute:
<interp
  xml:id="fig-apos-2"
  type="figureOfSpeech"
  resp="#LB-MSM"
  inst="#P38.1.1">
apostrophe</interp>
<interp
  xml:id="set-church-2"
  type="scene-setting"
  inst="#P38.1"
  resp="#LB-MSM">
church</interp>
<interp
  xml:id="set-kitchen-2"
  type="scene-setting"
  inst="#P38.1"
  resp="#LB-MSM">
kitchen</interp>
The <interp> is not limited to any particular type of analysis, The literary analysis shown above is but one possibility; one could equally well use <interp> to capture a linguistic part-of-speech analysis. For example, the example sentence given in section 8.3 Special kinds of Linking assumes a linguistic analysis which might be represented as follows:
<interp xml:id="NP1type="pos">noun phrase, singular</interp>
<interp xml:id="VV1type="pos">inflected verb, present-tense singular</interp>
...

16 Technical Documentation

Although the focus of this document is on the use of the TEI scheme for the encoding of existing ‘pre-electronic’ documents, the same scheme may also be used for the encoding of new documents. In the preparation of new documents (such as this one), XML has much to recommend it: the document's structure can be clearly represented, and the same electronic text can be re-used for many purposes — to provide both online hypertext or browsable versions and well-formatted typeset versions from a common source for example.

To facilitate this, the TEI Lite schema includes some elements for marking features of technical documents in general, and of XML-related documents in particular.

16.1 Additional Elements for Technical Documents

The following elements may be used to mark particular features of technical documents:
  • eg (example) contains any kind of illustrative example.
  • code contains literal code from some formal language such as a programming language.
  • ident (identifier) contains an identifier or name for an object of some kind in a formal language.
  • gi (element name) contains the name (generic identifier) of an element.
  • att (attribute) contains the name of an attribute appearing within running text.
  • formula contains a mathematical or other formula.
  • val (value) contains a single attribute value.
The following example shows how these elements might be used to encode a passage from a tutorial introducing the Fortran programming language:
<p>It is traditional to introduce a language with a program like the
following:
<eg> CHAR*12 GRTG
   GRTG = 'HELLO WORLD'
   PRINT *, GRTG
   END
 </eg>
</p>
<p>This simple example first declares a variable <ident>GRTG</ident>, in
the line <code>CHAR*12 GRTG</code>, which identifies <ident>GRTG</ident>
as consisting of 12 bytes of type <ident>CHAR</ident>. To this variable,
the value <val>HELLO WORLD</val>
is then assigned.</p>

A formatting application, given a text like that above, can be instructed to format examples appropriately (e.g. to preserve line breaks, or to use a distinctive font). Similarly, the use of tags such as <ident> greatly facilitates the construction of a useful index.

The <formula> element should be used to enclose a mathematical or chemical formula presented within the text as a distinct item. Since formulae generally include a large variety of special typographic features not otherwise present in ordinary text, it will usually be necessary to present the body of the formula in a specialized notation. The notation used should be specified by the notation attribute, as in the following example:
<formula notation="tex"> \begin{math}E = mc^{2}\end{math}
</formula>
A particular problem arises when XML encoding is the subject of discussion within a technical document, itself encoded in XML. In such a document, it is clearly essential to distinguish clearly the markup occurring within examples from that marking up the document itself, and end-tags are highly likely to occur. One simple solution is to use the predefined entity reference &lt; to represent each < character which marks the start of an XML tag within the examples. A more general solution is to mark off the whole body of each example as containing data which is not to be scanned for XML mark-up by the parser. This is achieved by enclosing it within a special XML construct called a CDATA marked section, as in the following example:
<p>A list should be encoded as follows: <eg><![ CDATA [ <list> <item>First item in the list</item> <item>Second item</item> </list> ]]> </eg> The <gi>list</gi> element consists of a series of <gi>item</gi> elements.

The <list> element used within the example above will not be regarded as forming part of the document proper, because it is embedded within a marked section (beginning with the special markup declaration <![CDATA[ , and ending with ]]>).

Note also the use of the <gi> element to tag references to element names (or generic identifiers) within the body of the text.

16.2 Generated Divisions

Most modern document production systems have the ability to generate automatically whole sections such as a table of contents or an index. The TEI Lite scheme provides an element to mark the location at which such a generated section should be placed.
  • divGen (automatically generated text division) indicates the location at which a textual division generated automatically by a text-processing application is to appear.
The <divGen> element can be placed anywhere that a division element would be legal, as in the following example:
<front>
 <titlePage>
<!-- ... -->
 </titlePage>
 <divGen type="toc"/>
 <div>
  <head>Preface</head>
<!-- ... -->
 </div>
</front>
<body>
<!-- ... -->
</body>
<back>
 <div>
  <head>Appendix</head>
<!-- ... -->
 </div>
 <divGen type="indexn="Index"/>
</back>

This example also demonstrates the use of the type attribute to distinguish the different kinds of division to be generated: in the first case a table of contents (a toc) and in the second an index.

When an existing index or table of contents is to be encoded (rather than one being generated) for some reason, the <list> element discussed in section 11 Lists should be used.

16.3 Index Generation

While production of a table of contents from a properly tagged document is generally unproblematic for an automatic processor, the production of a good quality index will often require more careful tagging. It may not be enough simply to produce a list of all parts tagged in some particular way, although extracting (for example) all occurrences of elements such as <term> or <name> will often be a good departure point for an index.

The TEI schema provides a special purpose <index> tag which may be used to mark both the parts of the document which should be indexed, and how the indexing should be done.
  • index (index entry) marks a location to be indexed for whatever purpose.
For example, the second paragraph of this section might include the following:
...
TEI lite also provides a special purpose <gi>index</gi> tag

<index>
 <term>indexing</term>
</index>
<index>
 <term>index (tag)</term>
 <index>
  <term>use in index generation</term>
 </index>
</index>
which may be used ...
The <index> element can also be used to provide a form of interpretive or analytic information. For example, in a study of Ovid, it might be desired to record all the poet's references to different figures, for comparative stylistic study. In the following lines of the Metamorphoses, such a study would record the poet's references to Jupiter (as deus, se, and as the subject of confiteor [in inflectional form number 227]), to Jupiter-in-the-guise-of-a-bull (as imago tauri fallacis and the subject of teneo), and so on.2
<l n="3.001">iamque deus posita fallacis imagine tauri</l>
<l n="3.002">se confessus erat Dictaeaque rura tenebat</l>
This need might be met using the <note> element discussed in section in 7 Notes, or with the <interp> element discussed in section 15 Interpretation and Analysis. Here we demonstrate how it might also be satisfied by using the <index> element.
We assume that the object is to generate more than one index: one for names of deities (called dn), another for onomastic references (called on), a third for pronominal references (called pr) and so forth. One way of achieving this might be as follows:

For each <index> element above, an entry will be generated in the appropriate index, using as headword the content of the <term> element it contains; the <term> elements nested within the secondary <index> element in each case provide a secondary keyword. The actual reference will be taken from the context in which the <index> element appears, i.e. in this case the identifier of the <l> element containing it.

16.4 Addresses

The <address> element is used to mark a postal address of any kind. It contains one or more <addrLine> elements, one for each line of the address.
  • address contains a postal address, for example of a publisher, an organization, or an individual.
  • addrLine (address line) contains one line of a postal address.
Here is a simple example:
<address>
 <addrLine>Computer Center (M/C 135)</addrLine>
 <addrLine>1940 W. Taylor, Room 124</addrLine>
 <addrLine>Chicago, IL 60612-7352</addrLine>
 <addrLine>U.S.A.</addrLine>
</address>
The individual parts of an address may be further distinguished by using the <name> element discussed above (section 10.1 Names and Referring Strings).
<address>
 <addrLine>Computer Center (M/C 135)</addrLine>
 <addrLine>1940 W. Taylor, Room 124</addrLine>
 <addrLine>
  <name type="city">Chicago</name>, IL 60612-7352</addrLine>
 <addrLine>
  <name type="country">USA</name>
 </addrLine>
</address>

17 Character Sets, Diacritics, etc.

With the advent of XML and its adoption of Unicode as the required character set for all documents, most problems previously associated with the representation of the divers languages and writing systems of the world are greatly reduced. For those working with standard forms of the European languages in particular, almost no special action is needed: any XML editor should enable you to input accented letters or other ‘non-ASCII’ characters directly, and they should be stored in the resulting file in a way which is transferable directly between different systems.

There are two important exceptions: the characters & and < may not be entered directly in an XML document, since they have a special significance as initiating markup. They must always be represented as entity references, like this: &amp; or &lt;. Other characters may also be represented by means of entity reference where necessary, for example to retain compatibility with a pre-Unicode processing system.

18 Front and Back Matter

18.1 Front Matter

For many purposes, particularly in older texts, the preliminary material such as title pages, prefatory epistles, etc., may provide very useful additional linguistic or social information. P5 provides a set of recommendations for distinguishing the textual elements most commonly encountered in front matter, which are summarized here.

18.1.1 Title Page

The start of a title page should be marked with the element <titlePage>. All text contained on the page should be transcribed and tagged with the appropriate element from the following list:
  • titlePage (title page) contains the title page of a text, appearing within the front or back matter.
  • docTitle (document title) contains the title of a document, including all its constituents, as given on a title page.
  • titlePart contains a subsection or division of the title of a work, as indicated on a title page.
  • byline contains the primary statement of responsibility given for a work on its title page or at the head or end of the work.
  • docAuthor (document author) contains the name of the author of the document, as given on the title page (often but not always contained in a byline).
  • docDate (document date) contains the date of a document, as given (usually) on a title page.
  • docEdition (document edition) contains an edition statement as presented on a title page of a document.
  • docImprint (document imprint) contains the imprint statement (place and date of publication, publisher name), as given (usually) at the foot of a title page.
  • epigraph contains a quotation, anonymous or attributed, appearing at the start of a section or chapter, or on a title page.

Typeface distinctions should be marked with the rend attribute when necessary, as described above. Very detailed description of the letter spacing and sizing used in ornamental titles is not as yet provided for by the Guidelines. Changes of language should be marked by appropriate use of the lang attribute or the <foreign> element, as necessary. Names, wherever they appear, should be tagged using the <name>, as elsewhere.

Two example title pages follow:
<titlePage rend="Roman">
 <docTitle>
  <titlePart type="main"> PARADISE REGAIN'D. A POEM In IV <hi>BOOKS</hi>.
  </titlePart>
  <titlePart> To which is added <title>SAMSON AGONISTES</title>.
  </titlePart>
 </docTitle>
 <byline>The Author <docAuthor>JOHN MILTON</docAuthor>

  <bibl>BEAUMONT</bibl>
 </epigraph>
 <docImprint>Philadelphia: Blanchard and Lea</docImprint>
 <docDate>1860.</docDate>
</titlePage>

18.1.2 Prefatory Matter

Major blocks of text within the front matter should be marked as <div> or <div> elements; the following suggested values for the type attribute may be used to distinguish various common types of prefatory matter:
foreword
a text addressed to the reader, by the author, editor or publisher, possibly in the form of a letter.
preface
a text addressed to the reader, by the author, editor or publisher, possibly in the form of a letter.
dedication
a text (often a letter) addressed to someone other than the reader in which the author typically commends the work in hand to the attention of the person concerned.
abstract
a prose argument summarizing the content of the work.
ack
Acknowledgements.
contents
a table of contents (typically this should be tagged as a <list>).
frontispiece
a pictorial frontispiece, possibly including some text.
Like any text division, those in front matter may contain low level structural or non-structural elements as described elsewhere. They will generally begin with a heading or title of some kind which should be tagged using the <head> element. Epistles will contain the following additional elements:
  • salute (salutation) contains a salutation or greeting prefixed to a foreword, dedicatory epistle, or other division of a text, or the salutation in the closing of a letter, preface, etc.
  • signed (signature) contains the closing salutation, etc., appended to a foreword, dedicatory epistle, or other division of a text.
  • byline contains the primary statement of responsibility given for a work on its title page or at the head or end of the work.
  • dateline contains a brief description of the place, date, time, etc. of production of a letter, newspaper story, or other work, prefixed or suffixed to it as a kind of heading or trailer.
  • argument A formal list or prose description of the topics addressed by a subdivision of a text.
  • cit (cited quotation) contains a quotation from some other document, together with a bibliographic reference to its source. In a dictionary it may contain an example text with at least one occurrence of the word form, used in the sense being described, or a translation of the headword, or an example.
  • opener groups together dateline, byline, salutation, and similar phrases appearing as a preliminary group at the start of a division, especially of a letter.
  • closer groups together salutations, datelines, and similar phrases appearing as a final group at the end of a division, especially of a letter.

Epistles which appear elsewhere in a text will, of course, contain these same elements.

As an example, the dedication at the start of Milton's Comus should be marked up as follows:
<div type="dedication">
 <head>To the Right Honourable <name>JOHN Lord Viscount
     BRACLY</name>, Son and Heir apparent to the Earl of
   Bridgewater, &amp;c.</head>
 <salute>MY LORD,</salute>
 <p>THis <hi>Poem</hi>, which receiv'd its first occasion of
   Birth from your Self, and others of your Noble Family ....
   and as in this representation your attendant
 <name>Thyrsis</name>, so now in all reall expression</p>
 <closer>
  <salute>Your faithfull, and most humble servant</salute>
  <signed>
   <name>H. LAWES.</name>
  </signed>
 </closer>
</div>

18.2 Back Matter

18.2.1 Structural Divisions of Back Matter

Because of variations in publishing practice, back matter can contain virtually any of the elements listed above for front matter, and the same elements should be used where this is so. Additionally, back matter may contain the following types of matter within the <back> element. Like the structural divisions of the body, these should be marked as <div> elements, and distinguished by the following suggested values of the type attribute:
appendix
an appendix.
glossary
a list of words and definitions, typically marked up as a <list type="gloss"> element .
notes
a series of <note> elements.
bibliography
a series of bibliographic references, typically in the form of a special bibliographic-list element <listBibl>, whose items are individual <bibl> elements.
index
a set of index entries, possibly represented as a structured list or glossary list, with optional leading <head> and perhaps some paragraphs of introductory or closing text (An index may also be generated for a document by using the <index> element, described above in section ).
colophon
a description at the back of the book describing where, when, and by whom it was printed; in modern books it also often gives production details and identifies the type faces used.

19 The Electronic Title Page

Every TEI text has a header which provides information analogous to that provided by the title page of printed text. The header is introduced by the element <teiHeader> and has four major parts:

A corpus or collection of texts, which share many characteristics, may have one header for the corpus and individual headers for each component of the corpus. In this case the type attribute indicates the type of header. <teiHeader type="corpus"> introduces the header for corpus-level information.

Some of the header elements contain running prose which consists of one or more <p>s. Others are grouped:

19.1 The File Description

The <fileDesc> element is mandatory. It contains a full bibliographic description of the file with the following elements:
  • titleStmt (title statement) groups information about the title of a work and those responsible for its intellectual content.
  • editionStmt (edition statement) groups information relating to one edition of a text.
  • extent describes the approximate size of a text as stored on some carrier medium, whether digital or non-digital, specified in any convenient units.
  • publicationStmt (publication statement) groups information concerning the publication or distribution of an electronic or other text.
  • seriesStmt (series statement) groups information about the series, if any, to which a publication belongs.
  • notesStmt (notes statement) collects together any notes providing information about a text additional to that recorded in other parts of the bibliographic description.
  • sourceDesc (source description) supplies a description of the source text(s) from which an electronic text was derived or generated.
A minimal header has the following structure:
<teiHeader>
 <fileDesc>
  <titleStmt>
<!-- ... -->
  </titleStmt>
  <publicationStmt>
<!-- ... -->
  </publicationStmt>
  <sourceDesc>
<!-- ... -->
  </sourceDesc>
 </fileDesc>
</teiHeader>

19.1.1 The Title Statement

The following elements can be used in the <titleStmt>:
  • title contains the full title of a work of any kind.
  • author in a bibliographic reference, contains the name of the author(s), personal or corporate, of a work; the primary statement of responsibility for any bibliographic item.
  • sponsor specifies the name of a sponsoring organization or institution.
  • funder (funding body) specifies the name of an individual, institution, or organization responsible for the funding of a project or text.
  • principal (principal researcher) supplies the name of the principal researcher responsible for the creation of an electronic text.
  • respStmt (statement of responsibility) supplies a statement of responsibility for the intellectual content of a text, edition, recording, or series, where the specialized elements for authors, editors, etc. do not suffice or do not apply.
It is recommended that the title should distinguish the computer file from the source text, for example:
[title of source]: a machine readable transcription [title of source]: electronic edition A machine readable version of: [title of source]
The <respStmt> element contains the following subcomponents:
  • resp (responsibility) contains a phrase describing the nature of a person's intellectual responsibility.
  • name (name, proper noun) contains a proper noun or noun phrase.
Example:
<titleStmt>
 <title>Two stories by Edgar Allen Poe: a machine readable
   transcription</title>
 <author>Poe, Edgar Allen (1809-1849)</author>
 <respStmt>
  <resp>compiled by</resp>
  <name>James D. Benson</name>
 </respStmt>
</titleStmt>

19.1.2 The Edition Statement

The <editionStmt> groups information relating to one edition of a text (where edition is used as elsewhere in bibliography), and may include the following elements:
  • edition (edition) describes the particularities of one edition of a text.
  • respStmt (statement of responsibility) supplies a statement of responsibility for the intellectual content of a text, edition, recording, or series, where the specialized elements for authors, editors, etc. do not suffice or do not apply.
Example:
<editionStmt>
 <edition n="U2">Third draft, substantially revised
 <date>1987</date>
 </edition>
</editionStmt>

Determining exactly what constitutes a new edition of an electronic text is left to the encoder.

19.1.3 The Extent Statement

The <extent> statement describe the approximate size of a file.

Example:
<extent>4532 bytes</extent>

19.1.4 The Publication Statement

The <publicationStmt> is mandatory. It may contain a simple prose description or groups of the elements described below:
  • publisher provides the name of the organization responsible for the publication or distribution of a bibliographic item.
  • distributor supplies the name of a person or other agency responsible for the distribution of a text.
  • authority (release authority) supplies the name of a person or other agency responsible for making an electronic file available, other than a publisher or distributor.
At least one of these three elements must be present, unless the entire publication statement is in prose. The following elements may occur within them:
  • pubPlace (publication place) contains the name of the place where a bibliographic item was published.
  • address contains a postal address, for example of a publisher, an organization, or an individual.
  • idno (identifying number) supplies any standard or non-standard number used to identify a bibliographic item.
  • availability supplies information about the availability of a text, for example any restrictions on its use or distribution, its copyright status, etc.
  • date contains a date in any format.
Example:
<publicationStmt>
 <publisher>Oxford University Press</publisher>
 <pubPlace>Oxford</pubPlace>
 <date>1989</date>
 <idno type="ISBN"> 0-19-254705-5</idno>
 <availability>
  <p>Copyright 1989, Oxford University
     Press</p>
 </availability>
</publicationStmt>

19.1.5 Series and Notes Statements

The <seriesStmt> element groups information about the series, if any, to which a publication belongs. It may contain <title>, <idno>, or <respStmt> elements.

The <notesStmt>, if used, contains one or more <note> elements which contain a note or annotation. Some information found in the notes area in conventional bibliography has been assigned specific elements in the TEI scheme.

19.1.6 The Source Description

The <sourceDesc> is a mandatory element which records details of the source or sources from which the computer file is derived. It may contain simple prose or a bibliographic citation, using one or more of the following elements:
  • bibl (bibliographic citation) contains a loosely-structured bibliographic citation of which the sub-components may or may not be explicitly tagged.
  • biblFull (fully-structured bibliographic citation) contains a fully-structured bibliographic citation, in which all components of the TEI file description are present.
  • listBibl (citation list) contains a list of bibliographic citations of any kind.
Examples:
<sourceDesc>
 <bibl>The first folio of Shakespeare, prepared by Charlton
   Hinman (The Norton Facsimile, 1968)</bibl>
</sourceDesc>
<sourceDesc>
 <bibl>
  <author>CNN Network News</author>
  <title>News headlines</title>
  <date>12 Jun 1989</date>
 </bibl>
</sourceDesc>

19.2 The Encoding Description

The <encodingDesc> element specifies the methods and editorial principles which governed the transcription of the text. Its use is highly recommended. It may be prose description or may contain elements from the following list:
  • projectDesc (project description) describes in detail the aim or purpose for which an electronic file was encoded, together with any other relevant information concerning the process by which it was assembled or collected.
  • samplingDecl (sampling declaration) contains a prose description of the rationale and methods used in sampling texts in the creation of a corpus or collection.
  • editorialDecl (editorial practice declaration) provides details of editorial principles and practices applied during the encoding of a text.
  • refsDecl (references declaration) specifies how canonical references are constructed for this text.
  • classDecl (classification declarations) contains one or more taxonomies defining any classificatory codes used elsewhere in the text.

19.2.1 Project and Sampling Descriptions

Examples of <projectDesc> and <samplingDesc>:
<encodingDesc>
 <projectDesc>
  <p>Texts collected for use in the Claremont
     Shakespeare Clinic, June 1990.
  </p>
 </projectDesc>
</encodingDesc>
<encodingDesc>
 <samplingDecl>
  <p>Samples of 2000 words taken from the beginning
     of the text</p>
 </samplingDecl>
</encodingDesc>

19.2.2 Editorial Declarations

The <editorialDecl> contains a prose description of the practices used when encoding the text. Typically this description should cover such topics as the following, each of which may conveniently be given as a separate paragraph.
correction
how and under what circumstances corrections have been made in the text.
normalization
the extent to which the original source has been regularized or normalized.
quotation
what has been done with quotation marks in the original -- have they been retained or replaced by entity references, are opening and closing quotes distinguished, etc.
hyphenation
what has been done with hyphens (especially end-of-line hyphens) in the original -- have they been retained, replaced by entity references, etc.
segmentation
how has the text has been segmented, for example into sentences, tone-units, graphemic strata, etc.
interpretation
what analytic or interpretive information has been added to the text.
Example:
<editorialDecl>
 <p>The part of speech analysis applied throughout
   section 4 was added by hand and has not been
   checked.</p>
 <p>Errors in transcription controlled by using the
   WordPerfect spelling checker.</p>
 <p>All words converted to Modern American spelling
   using Webster's 9th Collegiate dictionary.</p>
 <p>All quotation marks converted to entity
   references odq and cdq.</p>
</editorialDecl>

19.2.3 Reference and Classification Declarations

The <refsDecl> element is used to document the way in which any standard referencing scheme built into the encoding works. In its simplest form, it consists of prose description.

Example:
<refsDecl>
 <p>The N attribute on each DIV and DIV contains the
   canonical reference for each such division in the form
   XX.yyy where XX is the book number in roman numeral and
   yyy is the section number in arabic.</p>
</refsDecl>
The <classDecl> element groups together definitions or sources for any descriptive classification schemes used by other parts of the header. At least one such scheme must be provided, encoded using the following elements:
  • taxonomy defines a typology used to classify texts either implicitly, by means of a bibliographic citation, or explicitly by a structured taxonomy.
  • bibl (bibliographic citation) contains a loosely-structured bibliographic citation of which the sub-components may or may not be explicitly tagged.
  • category contains an individual descriptive category, possibly nested within a superordinate category, within a user-defined taxonomy.
  • catDesc (category description) describes some category within a taxonomy or text typology, either in the form of a brief prose description or in terms of the situational parameters used by the TEI formal textDesc.
In the simplest case, the taxonomy may be defined by a bibliographic reference, as in the following example:
<classDecl>
 <taxonomy xml:id="LCSH">
  <bibl>Library of Congress Subject Headings
  </bibl>
 </taxonomy>
</classDecl>
Alternatively, or in addition, the encoder may define a special purpose classification scheme, as in the following example:
<taxonomy xml:id="B">
 <bibl>Brown Corpus</bibl>
 <category xml:id="B.A">
  <catDesc>Press Reportage</catDesc>
  <category xml:id="B.A1">
   <catDesc>Daily</catDesc>
  </category>
  <category xml:id="B.A2">
   <catDesc>Sunday</catDesc>
  </category>
  <category xml:id="B.A3">
   <catDesc>National</catDesc>
  </category>
  <category xml:id="B.A4">
   <catDesc>Provincial</catDesc>
  </category>
  <category xml:id="B.A5">
   <catDesc>Political</catDesc>
  </category>
  <category xml:id="B.A6">
   <catDesc>Sports</catDesc>
  </category>
 </category>
 <category xml:id="B.D">
  <catDesc>Religion</catDesc>
  <category xml:id="B.D1">
   <catDesc>Books</catDesc>
  </category>
  <category xml:id="B.D2">
   <catDesc>Periodicals and tracts</catDesc>
  </category>
 </category>
</taxonomy>

Linkage between a particular text and a category within such a taxonomy is made by means of the <catRef> element within the <textClass> element, as further described below.

19.3 The Profile Description

The <profileDesc> element enables information characterizing various descriptive aspects of a text to be recorded within a single framework. It has three optional components:
  • creation contains information about the creation of a text.
  • langUsage (language usage) describes the languages, sublanguages, registers, dialects, etc. represented within a text.
  • textClass (text classification) groups information which describes the nature or topic of a text in terms of a standard classification scheme, thesaurus, etc.

The <creation> element is useful for documenting where a work was created, even though it may not have been published or recorded there.

Example:
<creation>
 <date when="1992-08">August 1992</date>
 <name type="place">Taos, New Mexico</name>
</creation>
The <langUsage> element is useful where a text contains many different languages. It may contain <language> elements to document each particular language used:
  • language characterizes a single language or sublanguage used within a text.
an example is needed.
The <textClass> element classifies a text by reference to the system or systems defined by the <classDecl> element, and contains one or more of the following elements:
  • keywords contains a list of keywords or phrases identifying the topic or nature of a text.
  • classCode (classification code) contains the classification code used for this text in some standard classification system.
  • catRef/ (category reference) specifies one or more defined categories within some taxonomy or text typology.
The element <keywords> contains a list of keywords or phrases identifying the topic or nature of a text. The attribute scheme links these to the classification system defined in <taxonomy>.
<textClass>
 <keywords scheme="LCSH">
  <list>
   <item>English literature -- History and criticism --
       Data processing.</item>
   <item>English literature -- History and criticism --
       Theory etc.</item>
   <item>English language -- Style -- Data
       processing.</item>
  </list>
 </keywords>
</textClass>

19.4 The Revision Description

The <revisionDesc> element provides a change log in which each change made to a text may be recorded. The log may be recorded as a sequence of <change> elements each of which contains a brief description of the change. The attributes date and who may be used to identify when the change was carried out and the agency responsible for it.

Example:
<revisionDesc>
 <change when="1991-03-06who="EMB">File format updated</change>
 <change when="1990-05-25who="EMB">Stuart's corrections entered</change>
</revisionDesc>

20 List of Elements Described

The following list shows all the elements defined for the TEI Lite schema, with a brief description of each, and a link to its full specification in the Appendix.
Appendixes

Appendix A Substantive changes from the P4 version

This revision of the TEI Lite schema conforms to the TEI P5 Guidelines, which makes a number of changes from the TEI P4 Guidelines underlying earlier versions of TEI Lite. The following brief list indicates some of the major changes which will be needed in existing TEI P4-conformant documents before they can be used with the new schema. A fuller list is in preparation for publication as a part of TEI P5: the items listed here relate specifically to changes in TEI Lite only.

Appendix B Formal specification

The TEI Lite is a pure subset of the TEI. All of the elements defined in it are taken from the following standard TEI modules: tei, core, header, textstructure, figures, linking, analysis, and tagdocs.

The following elements from those modules are excluded from the schema: <ab>, <alt>, <altGrp>, <altIdent>, <analytic>, <attDef>, <attList>, <attRef>, <biblItem>, <biblStruct>, <binaryObject>, <broadcast>, <c>, <cb>, <cl>, <classSpec>, <classes>, <content>, <correction>, <datatype>, <defaultVal>, <desc>, <distinct>, <div1>, <div2>, <div3>, <div4>, <div5>, <div6>, <div7>, <egXML>, <elementSpec>, <equipment>, <equiv>, <exemplum>, <fsdDecl>, <floatingText>, <headItem>, <headLabel>, <hyphenation>, <imprimatur>, <interpretation>, <join>, <joinGrp>, <link>, <linkGrp>, <listRef>, <m>, <macroSpec>, <measure>, <meeting>, <memberOf>, <metDecl>, <metSym>, <moduleRef>, <moduleSpec>, <monogr>, <normalization>, <phr>, <postBox>, <postCode>, <quotation>, <recording>, <recordingStmt>, <remarks>, <schemaSpec>, <scriptStmt>, <segmentation>, <series>, <span>, <spanGrp>, <specDesc>, <specGrp>, <specGrpRef>, <specList>, <state>, <stdVals>, <street>, <stringVal>, <tag>, <timeline>, <valDesc>, <valItem>, <valList>, <variantEncoding>, <w>, <when>

Here is the TEI Lite schema itself :

AttributesIn addition to global attributes
whoindicates the person, or group of people, to whom the element content is ascribed.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace
Values For transcribed speech, this will typically identify a participant or participant group; in other contexts, it will point to any identified <person> element.

att.datable

att.datable provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain dates, times, or datable events.
Moduletei
Members application date time
AttributesGlobal attributes and those inherited from att.datable.w3c (@period, @when, @notBefore, @notAfter, @from, @to)
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 class. 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.

att.datable.w3c

att.datable.w3c provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain datable events using the W3C datatypes.
Moduletei
Members att.datable [ application date time]
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
periodsupplies a pointer to some location defining a named period of time within which the datable item is understood to have occurred.

Note
The value of the when attribute is a string representing a date or time, or both, in any one of the following forms:
  • a date in any of the standard formats described by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, i.e. most commonly yyyy-mm-dd, but also yyyy, --mm, ---dd, yyyy-mm, or --mm-dd
  • a time in the standard format described by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, i.e. hh:mm:ss
  • a combined date and time in any of the standard formats described by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, i.e. yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
The value of when is constrained to be in one of the date, time, or combined date & time formats recognized by the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes specification. This is true whether the date component (if any) is a Gregorian or a proleptic Gregorian date.
At the time of this writing, the W3C does not permit the year 0000, which would normally be used to represent the year 1 BCE. Using the current W3C system, the year 1 BCE is indicated with -0001, the year 2 BCE with -0002, etc.
It is the intention of the XML Schema Working Group to allow 0000 as … the lexical representation of 1 BCE (which is a leap year), -0001 will become the lexical representation of 2 BCE, -0002 of 3 BCE, etc.
Thus in some cases it may be advantageous to use the when-iso attribute to indicate years BCE instead.
notBeforespecifies the earliest possible date for the event in standard form, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:date | xsd:gYear | xsd:gMonth | xsd:gDay | xsd:gYearMonth | xsd:gMonthDay | xsd:time | xsd:dateTime

Status Optional
Datatype xsd:date | xsd:gYear | xsd:gMonth | xsd:gDay | xsd:gYearMonth | xsd:gMonthDay | xsd:time | xsd:dateTime

Values A space-delimited series of sigla; each sigil should correspond to a witness or witness group and occur as the value of the xml:id attribute on a <witness> or <msDesc> element elsewhere in the document.
Note
The members of this attribute class are typically used to represent any kind of editorial intervention in a text, for example a correction or interpretation, or to date or localize manuscripts etc.

att.global

att.global provides attributes common to all elements in the TEI encoding scheme.
Moduletei
Members
AttributesIn addition to global attributes and those inherited from att.global.linking (@corresp, @synch, @sameAs, @copyOf, @next, @prev, @exclude, @select) att.global.analytic (@ana)
xml:id(identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:ID
Values any valid XML identifier.
Note
The xml:id attribute may be used to specify a canonical reference for an element; see section .
n(number) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not necessarily unique within the document.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }separated by whitespace
Values any string of characters; often, but not necessarily, numeric.
Note
The n attribute may be 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
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:language
Values The value must conform to BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-) it should, and if not it may, match the value of an ident attribute of a <language> element supplied in the TEI Header of the current document.
Note
If no value is specified for xml:lang, the xml:lang value for the immediately enclosing element is inherited; for this reason, a value should always be specified on the outermost element (<TEI>).
rend(rendition) indicates how the element in question was rendered or presented in the source text.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }separated by whitespace
Values any string of characters; if the typographic rendition of a text is to be systematically recorded, a systematic set of values for the rend attribute should be defined.

 <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.
xml:baseprovides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values any syntactically valid URI reference.

Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }
Values The value should be a valid MIME media type
Note
This attribute class provides attributes for describing a computer resource, typically available over the internet, according to standard taxonomies. At present only a single taxonomy is supported, the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions Media Type system. This system of 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.

MiB
(mebibyte) 2²⁰ or 1 048 576 bytes
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 recognised SI unit name should be used (see further http://www.bipm.org/en/si/; http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/). The list above is indicative rather than exhaustive.
quantityspecifies the number of the specified units that comprise the measurement
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:double | xsd:decimal
commodityindicates the substance that is being measured
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }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.
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.

<!-- regularization:--><l>So weren't you gonna buy <measure quantity="0.5unit="galcommodity="ice cream">half a gallon</measure>, baby</l>
<!-- normalization: -->
<l>So won't you go and buy <measure quantity="1.893unit="Lcommodity="ice cream">half a gallon</measure>,
baby?</l>
Note
The unit should normally be named using the standard abbreviation for an SI unit (see further http://www.bipm.org/en/si/; http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/). However, encoders may also specify measurements using informally defined units such as lines or characters.

att.naming

Modulelinking
Members ptr ref
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
typecategorizes the pointer in some respect, using any convenient set of categories.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Values The type should indicate the intended function of the pointer, or the rhetorical relationship between its source and target.
evaluatespecifies the intended meaning when the target of a pointer is itself a pointer.
Status Optional
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.

att.segLike provides attributes for elements used for arbitrary segmentation.
Moduletei
Members s seg
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
typecharacterizes the type of segment.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Values For a <cl> may take values such as finite, nonfinite, declarative, interrogative, relative etc. For a <phr> or <w>, values such as noun, verb, preposition, etc., may be used. For an <m> element, values such as clitic, prefix, stem will be more appropriate. For a <c> element, values such as letter, punctuation, digit may be used.
functioncharacterizes the function of the segment.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Values For a <cl>, may take values such as coordinate, subject, adverbial etc. For a <phr>, such values as subject, predicate etc. may be more appropriate.
partspecifies whether or not the segment is fragmented by some other structural element, for example a clause which is divided between two or more sentences.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Legal values are:
Y
(yes) the segment is incomplete in some respect
N
(no) either the segment is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness [Default]
I
(initial) the initial part of an incomplete segment
M
(medial) a medial part of an incomplete segment
F
(final) the final part of an incomplete segment
Note
The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the division is to be reconstituted.

att.spanning

att.spanning provides attributes for elements which delimit a span of text by pointing mechanisms rather than by enclosing it.
Moduletei
Members index
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
spanToindicates the end of a span initiated by the element bearing this attribute.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values points to an element following this one in the current document.
Note
The span is defined as running in document order from the start of the content of the pointing element (if any) 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.

att.tableDecoration

att.tableDecoration provides attributes used to decorate rows or cells of a table.
Moduletei
Members cell row
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
roleindicates the kind of information held in this cell or in each cell of this row.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Suggested values include:
label
labelling or descriptive information only.
data
data values. [Default]
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.
rowsindicates the number of rows occupied by this cell or row.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:nonNegativeInteger
Values A number; a value greater than one indicates that this cell (or row) spans several rows.
Note
Where several cells span several rows, it may be more convenient to use nested tables.
cols(columns) indicates the number of columns occupied by this cell or row.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:nonNegativeInteger
Values A number; a value greater than one indicates that this cell or row spans several columns.
Note
Where an initial cell spans an entire row, it may be better treated as a heading.

att.transcriptional

att.transcriptional provides attributes specific to elements encoding authorial or scribal intervention in a text when transcribing manuscript or similar sources.
Moduletei
Members add del
AttributesIn addition to global attributes and those inherited from att.editLike (@cert, @resp, @evidence, @source)
handsignifies the hand of the agent which made the intervention.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values must refer to a <handNote> element, typically declared in the document header (see section ).
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.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
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.
seq(sequence) assigns a sequence number related to the order in which the encoded features carrying this attribute are believed to have occurred.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype xsd:nonNegativeInteger

Note
The subtype attribute may be used to provide any sub-classification for the element, additional to that provided by its type attribute.
Note
The typology used may be formally defined using the <classification> element of the <encodingDesc> within the associated TEI header, or as a list within one of the components of the <encodingDesc> element, or informally as descriptive prose within the <encodingDesc> element.

Modulecore
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
typeallows the encoder to classify the abbreviation according to some convenient typology.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Sample values include:
suspension
the abbreviation provides the first letter(s) of the word or phrase, omitting the remainder.
contraction
the abbreviation omits some letter(s) in the middle.
brevigraph
the abbreviation comprises a special symbol or mark.
superscription
the abbreviation includes writing above the line.
acronym
the abbreviation comprises the initial letters of the words of a phrase.
title
the abbreviation is for a title of address (Dr, Ms, Mr, …)
organization
the abbreviation is for the name of an organization.
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.

<cRefPattern>

<cRefPattern> (canonical reference pattern) specifies an expression and replacement pattern for transforming a canonical reference into a URI. «#HD54M» «#HD54» «#HD54S»
Moduleheader
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
matchPatternspecifies a regular expression against which the values of cRef attributes can be matched.
Status Required
Datatype token
Values must be a regular expression according to the W3C XML Schema Language
Note
Parenthesised 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’ which, once subpattern substitution has been performed, provides a URI.
Status Required
Datatype text
Values Should be the skeleton of a relative or absolute URI, with references to groups in the matchPattern.
Note
The strings ‘$1’ through ‘$9’ 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.

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.
For a specialized version of <choice> for encoding multiple witnesses of a single work, see section .

<divGen>

<divGen> (automatically generated text division) indicates the location at which a textual division generated automatically by a text-processing application is to appear. «#CONOIX»
Modulecore
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
typespecifies what type of generated text division (e.g. index, table of contents, etc.) is to appear.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Sample values include:
index
an index is to be generated and inserted at this point.
toc
(table of contents) a table of contents
figlist
(figure list) a list of figures
tablist
(table list) a list of tables
Note
Valid values are application-dependent; those shown are of obvious utility in document production, but are by no means exhaustive.

}
Example

One 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>
  <listBibl>
   <bibl/>
  </listBibl>
 </div1>
 <div1 type="backmat">
  <head>Indices</head>
  <divGen n="Index Nominumtype="NAMES"/>
  <divGen n="Index Rerumtype="THINGS"/>
 </div1>
</back>
Example

Another 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>
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.

Example

The 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>
 <list>
  <head>Chapter-Headings</head>
 </list>
 <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>
Example

The <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 type="simple">
 <head>Connectives</head>
 <item>above</item>
 <item>accordingly</item>
 <item>across from</item>
 <item>adjacent to</item>
 <item>again</item>
 <item>
<!-- ... -->
 </item>
</list>
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.

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.

Example

Labels 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>
Example

Labels 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>

Note
On this element, the global n attribute indicates the number or other value associated with the line which follows the point of insertion of this <lb>. Encoders should adopt a clear and consistent policy as to whether the numbers associated with line breaks relate to the physical sequence number of the line within the page, or to some aspect of the logical structure of the text. By convention, <lb> elements should appear at the start of the line to which they refer.
The <lb> tag is intended for making typographic line breaks in prose. It should be carefully distinguished from the <l> element, used to mark lines of verse.

The 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 type="ordered">
  <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 type="ordered">
    <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 type="ordered">
    <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 type="ordered">
    <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>

<milestone>

<milestone> marks a boundary point separating any kind of section of a text, as indicated by changes in a standard reference system, where the section is not represented by a structural element. «#CORS5»
Modulecore
AttributesIn addition to global attributes
ed(edition) indicates the edition or version to which the milestone applies.
Status Recommended
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally used for the edition.
unitprovides a conventional name for the kind of section changing at this milestone.
Status Required
Datatype xsd:Name
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.
stanza
stanzas within a poem, book, or canto.
act
acts within a play.
scene
scenes within a play or act.
section
sections of any kind.
absent
passages not present in the reference edition.
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).

For this element, the global n attribute indicates the new number or other value for the unit which changes at this milestone. The special value unnumbered should be used in passages which fall outside the normal numbering scheme (e.g. chapter heads, poem numbers or titles, or speaker attributions in verse drama).
The order in which milestone elements are given at a given point is not normally significant.

Note
For specialized types of editorial annotation (e.g. for marking corrections, normalizations, cruxes, etc.), see chapter .
anchoredindicates whether the copy text shows the exact place of reference for the note.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:boolean
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.
targetindicates the point (or points) of attachment for a note, or the beginning of the span to which the note is attached.
Status Required when applicable
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace
Values reference to the xml:ids of element(s) which begin at the location in question (e.g. the xml:id of an <anchor> element).
Note
If target and targetEnd are to be used to indicate where notes attach to the text, then elements at the appropriate locations (<anchor> elements if necessary) must be given xml:id values to be pointed at.
targetEndpoints to the end of the span to which the note is attached, if the note is not embedded in the text at that point.
Status Required when applicable
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of xsd:anyURIseparated by whitespace

Datatype xsd:nonNegativeInteger
Values Should be a positive integer; if no value is provided, the length is unlimited and goes to the next delimiter or to the end of the value.
Note
When constructing a reference, if the reference component found is of numeric type, the length is made up by inserting leading zeros; if it is not, by inserting trailing blanks. In either case, reference components are truncated if necessary at the right hand side.
When seeking a reference, the length indicates the number of characters which should be compared. Values longer than this will be regarded as matching, if they start correctly.

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="TDPVrend="sc">discoursal point of view</term>
as
<gloss target="#TDPV">the relationship, expressed through discourse
structure, between the implied author or some other addresser,
and the fiction.</gloss>
Note
This element is used to supply the form under which an index entry is to be made for the location of a parent <index> element.
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.
The target and cRef attributes are mutually exclusive.

<text>

<text> contains a single text of any kind, whether unitary or composite, for example a poem or drama, a collection of essays, a novel, a dictionary, or a corpus sample. «#DS» «#CCDEF»

AttributesIn addition to global attributes and those inherited from att.editLike (@cert, @resp, @evidence, @source)
reasonindicates why the material is hard to transcribe.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of token { pattern = "(\p{L}|\p{N}|\p{P}|\p{S})+" }separated by whitespace
Values any phrase describing the difficulty, e.g. faded, ambient noise, passing truck, ill formed, eccentric ductus.
handWhere the difficulty in transcription arises from action (partial deletion, etc.) assignable to an identifiable hand, signifies the hand responsible for the action.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:anyURI
Values must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the document header (see section ).
agentWhere the difficulty in transcription arises from damage, categorizes the cause of the damage, if it can be identified.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:Name
Sample values include:
rubbing
damage results from rubbing of the leaf edges
mildew
damage results from mildew on the leaf surface
smoke
damage results from smoke
