att.ascribed

att.ascribed provides attributes for elements representing speech or action that can be ascribed to a specific individual.
Attributes
In addition to global attributes
who indicates the person, or group of people, to whom the element content is ascribed.
Status: Optional
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.pointer, separated 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.authorialIntervention

att.authorialIntervention provides attributes describing the nature of an authorial intervention.
Attributes
In addition to global attributes
hand signifies the hand of the agent which made the addition or performed the deletion.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: must refer to a <hand> element, typically declared in the document header (see section ).
status may be used to indicate faulty deletions, e.g. strikeouts which include too much or too little text, or erroneous additions, e.g., an insertion which duplicates some of the text already present.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Default: unremarkable
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.
unremarkable the deletion is not faulty.

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.
type classifies the type of addition or deletion using any convenient typology.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Values: a string identifying the class of addition or deletion.

No recommendation of any particular typology is made here; note however that the type attribute should not be used to record the manner in which a deletion is signalled in the source. This should be recorded using the global rend attribute, with values such as subpunction (dots below the line indicate matter to be deleted); overstrike (lines through the text indicated matter to be deleted); erasure (material to be deleted has been erased, but remains legible enough to transcribe); bracketed (brackets around the material indicate that it is spurious or superfluous), etc.

att.datable

att.datable provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain datable events.
Class att.datable.w3c
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 is rarely needed, and there exists much greater software support for the W3C datatypes.

[Note: Williams, CatherineFall River, an authentic narrative1833]
The value of the value attribute is a string representing a date, date & time, or time, 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 value 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 value-iso attribute to indicate years BCE instead.
Note

If both value and dur are specified, the values should be interpreted as indicating a span of time by its starting time (or date) and duration. In order to represent a time range by a duration and its ending time the value-iso attribute must be used.

In providing a ‘regularized’ form, no claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the regularized form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes of unifying variant forms under a single heading.

Status: Recommended
Datatype: data.enumerated
Values: any string of characters
org specifies how the content of the division is organized.
Status: Optional
Default: uniform
Legal values are:
composite (composite content: i.e. no claim is made about the sequence in which the immediate contents of this division are to be processed, or their inter-relationships.)
uniform (uniform content: i.e. the immediate contents of this element are regarded as forming a logical unit, to be processed in sequence.)
sample indicates whether this division is a sample of the original source and if so, from which part.
Status: Optional
Default: complete
Legal values are:
initial (division lacks material present at end in source.)
medial (division lacks material at start and end.)
final (division lacks material at start.)
unknown (position of sampled material within original unknown.)
complete (division is not a sample.)
part specifies whether or not the division is fragmented by some other structural element, for example a speech which is divided between two or more verse stanzas.
Status: Mandatory when applicable
Default: N
Legal values are:
Y (the division is incomplete in some respect)
N (either the division is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness.)
I (the initial part of an incomplete division)
M (a medial part of an incomplete division)
F (the final part of an incomplete division)

The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the division is to be reconstituted.

att.global

att.global provides a set of attributes common to all elements in the TEI encoding scheme.
Class att.global.linking
Attributes
In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.global.linking ]
xml:space signals an intention that white space should be preserved by applications
Status: Optional
Legal values are:
default
preserve

The XML specification provides further guidance on the use of this attribute.
xml:id provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.
Status: Optional
Datatype: xsd:ID
Values: any valid XML identifier .

The xml:id attribute may be used to specify a canonical reference for an element; see section .
n gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not necessarily unique within the document.
Status: Optional
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.word, separated by whitespace
Values: any string of characters; often, but not necessarily, numeric.

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 indicates the language of the element content using the codes from RFC 3066
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.language
Values: The value must conform to RFC 3066 or its succesor. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with 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.

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 indicates how the element in question was rendered or presented in the source text.
Status: Optional
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.word, 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.
Example:
 <head
   rend="align(center) slant(upright) case(allcaps)"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <lb/>To The
  <lb/>Duchesse
  <lb/>of
  <lb/>Newcastle,
  <lb/>On Her
  <lb/>
  <hi rend="case(mixed)">New Blazing-World</hi>.
 </head>

[Note: From the forward by William Newcastle in Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle's The description of a new world, called the blazing-world, WWP TR00253]

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:base provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: any syntactically valid URI reference.
Example:
 <div type="bibl"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <head>Bibliography</head>
  <listBibl

model.inter groups elements of the intermediate (inter-level) class: these elements can occur both within and and between paragraphs or other chunk-level elements.
Note

This element class contains a subset of those elements which can appear in the unstructured ‘soup’ with which paragraph and other elements at the lowest level of crystal structures are filled: specifically all the elements which can also occur as structural elements in their own right. In prose, this means the elements in this class can appear both within and between paragraphs. This class is thus distinct from the purely phrase-level elements which can appear only within soup, and not on their own; the latter class, in keeping with this metaphor, is called ‘broth’; it is represented by the class phrase. Cf. also the class chunks.

Declaration 
element abbr

   att.global.linking.attribute.exclude,
   att.global.linking.attribute.select,
   attribute type { data.enumerated }?,
   macro.phraseSeq
}
Attributes
In addition to global attributes
type allows the encoder to classify the abbreviation according to some convenient typology.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
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.)

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.
Example
 <abbr
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">SPQR</abbr>
Example
 <choice
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <abbr>SPQR</abbr>
  <expan>senatus populusque romanorum</expan>
 </choice>
Note

The <abbr> tag is not required; if appropriate, the encoder may transcribe abbreviations in the source text silently, without tagging them. If abbreviations are not transcribed directly but expanded silently, then the TEI header should so indicate.

For a typology of Middle English abbreviations, see A. G. Petty, English literary hands from Chaucer to Dryden (London: Edward Arnold, 1977), pp. 22–25.

Values: Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally used for the edition.
Note

On this element, the global n attribute indicates the number or other value associated with the column which follows the point of insertion of this <cb> element. Encoders should adopt a clear and consistent policy as to whether the numbers associated with column breaks relate to the physical sequence number of the column in the whole text, or whether columns are numbered within the page. By convention, the <cb> element is placed at the head of the column to which it refers.

   attribute hand { data.pointer }?,
   attribute agent { data.enumerated }?,
   attribute degree { data.probability | data.certainty }?,
   macro.paraContent
}
Attributes
In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.editLike ]
type classifies the damage according to any convenient typology.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Values: any phrase describing the damage, e.g. faded, overbound, water, charred with loss of paper.
extent indicates approximately how much text is in the damaged area, in letters, minims, inches, or any appropriate unit, where this cannot be deduced from the contents of the tag. For example, the damage may span structural divisions in the text so that the tag must then be empty of content.
Status: Optional
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.word, separated by whitespace
Values: any measurement phrase, e.g. 25 letters, 2 × 3 inches.
hand In the case of damage (deliberate defacement, etc.) assignable to an identifiable hand, signifies the hand responsible for the damage.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the document header (see section ).
agent categorizes the cause of the damage, if it can be identified.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
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)
degree Signifies the degree of damage according to a convenient scale. The damage tag with the degree attribute should only be used where the text may be read with some confidence; text supplied from other sources should be tagged as supplied.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.probability | data.certainty
Values: an alphanumeric categorization of the degree of damage, as 0.4.

The <damage> tag with the degree attribute should only be used where the text may be read with confidence despite the damage. It is appropriate where it is desired to record the fact of damage, though this has not affected the readability of the text (as may be the case with weathered inscriptional materials). Where the damage has rendered the text more or less illegible either the <unclear> tag (for partial illegibility) or the <gap> tag (for complete illegibility, with no text supplied) should be used, with the information concerning the damage given in the attribute values of these tags. See section for discussion of the use of these tags in particular circumstances.
Note

Since damage to text witnesses frequently makes them harder to read, the <damage> element will often contain an <unclear> element. If the damaged area is not continuous in the text (e.g. a stain on one side of a page), the <join> element may be used to indicate which <damage> and <unclear> elements are part of the same physical phenomenon.

The <damage>, <gap>, <del>, <unclear> and <supplied> elements may be closely allied in use. See section for discussion of which element is appropriate for which circumstance.

Note

Cf. <gap>.

Degrees of uncertainty over what can still be read may be indicated by use of the <certainty> element (see ).

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

The text deleted must be at least partially legible, in order for the encoder to be able to transcribe it. If it is not legible at all, the <del> tag should not be used. Rather, the <gap> tag should be employed to signal that text cannot be transcribed, with the value of the reason attribute giving the cause for the omission from the transcription as deletion. If it is not fully legible, the <unclear> element (available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources) should be used to signal the areas of text which cannot be read with confidence. See further sections and, for the close association of the <del> tag with the <gap>, <damage>, <unclear> and <supplied> elements (the latter three tags available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources), .

The <del> tag should not be used for deletions made by editors or encoders. In these cases, either the <corr> tag or the <gap> tag should be used.

 <p>Paragraph partially deleted; in the middle of this paragraph the deletion ends and the anchor point marks the resumption <anchor xml:id="a23"/> of the text. ...</p>
Note

Both the beginning and ending of the deleted sequence must be marked: the beginning by the <delSpan> element, the ending by the target of the spanTo attribute.

The text deleted must be at least partially legible, in order for the encoder to be able to transcribe it. If it is not legible at all, the <delSpan> tag should not be used. Rather, the <gap> tag should be employed to signal that text cannot be transcribed, with the value of the reason attribute giving the cause for the omission from the transcription as deletion.

See further sections and, for the close association of the <delSpan> tag with the <gap>, <damage>, <unclear> and <supplied> elements, .

Note

The global xml:lang attribute should be supplied for this element to identify the language of the word or phrase marked. As elsewhere its value should be a language code from RFC 3066 or its successor that represents the language in question. It is strongly recommended that the xml:lang attribute be consistently specified on all <foreign> elements.

This element is intended for use only where no other element is available to mark the phrase or words concerned. The global xml:lang attribute should be used in preference to this element where it is intended to mark the language of the whole of some text element.

The <distinct> element may be used to identify phrases belonging to sublanguages or registers not generally regarded as true languages.

In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.editLike ]
reason gives the reason for omission. Sample values include sampling, illegible, inaudible, irrelevant, cancelled, cancelled and illegible.
Status: Optional
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.word, separated by whitespace
Values: any short indication of the reason for the omission.
hand in the case of text omitted from the transcription because of deliberate deletion by an identifiable hand, signifies the hand which made the deletion.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the document header (see section ).
agent In the case of text omitted because of damage, categorizes the cause of the damage, if it can be identified.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
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)
extent indicates approximately how much text has been omitted from the transcription, in letters, minims, inches, or any appropriate unit, either because of editorial policy or because a deletion, damage, or other cause has rendered transcription impossible.
Status: Optional
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.word, separated by whitespace
Values: any string of characters

It is possible, but not always necessary, to provide measurements precise to the millimeter or even to the printer's point. The degree of precision attempted will vary with the purpose of the encoding and the nature of the material.

In addition to global attributes
type categorizes the heading in any way meaningful to the encoder.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Values: A set of user-defined keywords may be employed. Their significance should be documented in the header.
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="I" type="book"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <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> tag 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"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <head>Connectives</head>
  <item>above</item>
  <item>accordingly</item>
  <item>across from</item>
  <item>adjacent to</item>
  <item>again</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.

  <item xml:lang="en">never</item>
 </list>
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="runon" type="ordered"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <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"

ed indicates the edition or version in which the line break is located at this point
Status: Recommended
Datatype: data.code
Values: Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally used for the edition.
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.

Attributes
In addition to global attributes
type describes the form of the list.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Default: simple
Suggested values include:
ordered (list items are numbered or lettered. )
bulleted (list items are marked with a bullet or other typographic device. )
simple (list items are not numbered or bulleted. )
gloss (each list item glosses some term or concept, which is given by a label element preceding the list item.)

The formal syntax of the element declarations allows <label> tags to be omitted from lists tagged <list type="gloss">; this is however a semantic error.
Example
 <list type="ordered"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <item>a butcher</item>
  <item>a baker</item>
  <item>a candlestick maker, with <list type="bullets">
    <item>rings on his fingers</item>
    <item>bells on his toes</item>
   </list>
  </item>
 </list>
Example

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"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <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>

Note that nested lists have been used so the tagging mirrors the structure indicated by the two-level numbering of the clauses. The clauses could have been treated as a one-level list with irregular numbering, if desired.
Example
 <p
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">These decrees, most blessed Pope Hadrian, we propounded in the public council ... and they confirmed them in our hand in your stead with the sign of the Holy Cross, and afterwards inscribed with a careful pen on the paper of this page, affixing thus the sign of the Holy Cross. <list type="simple">
   <item>I, Eanbald, by the grace of God archbishop of the holy church of York, have subscribed to the pious and catholic validity of this document with the sign of the Holy Cross.</item>
   <item>I, Ælfwold, king of the people across the Humber, consenting have subscribed with the sign of the Holy Cross.</item>
   <item>I, Tilberht, prelate of the church of Hexham, rejoicing have subscribed with the sign of the Holy Cross.</item>

   <item>I, Æthelwine, bishop, have subscribed through delegates.</item>

Attributes
In addition to global attributes
ed indicates the edition or version to which the milestone applies.
Status: Recommended
Datatype: data.code
Values: Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally used for the edition.
unit provides a conventional name for the kind of section changing at this milestone.
Status: Required
Datatype: data.enumerated
Suggested values include:
page (physical page breaks (synonymous with the pb element).)
column (column breaks.)
line (line breaks (synonymous with the lb element).)
book (any units termed book, liber, etc.)
poem (individual poems in a collection.)
canto (cantos or other major sections of a poem.)
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.)

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).
Example
 <milestone n="23" ed="La" unit="Dreissiger"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"/>
...

 <milestone n="24" ed="AV" unit="verse"/>
...
Note

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.

Attributes
In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.placement ]
type describes the type of note.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Values: Values can be taken from any convenient typology of annotation suitable to the work in hand; e.g. annotation, gloss, citation, digression, preliminary, temporary
resp indicates who is responsible for the annotation: author, editor, translator, etc.
Status: Required when applicable
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: a pointer to one of the identifiers declared in the document header, associated with a person asserted as responsible for some aspect of the text's creation, transcription, editing, encoding, or annotation

For specialized types of editorial annotation (e.g. for marking corrections, normalizations, cruxes, etc.), see chapter .
anchored indicates whether the copy text shows the exact place of reference for the note.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Default: true

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.
target indicates 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 data.pointer, separated 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).

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.
targetEnd points to the end of the span to which the note is attached, if the note is not embedded in the text at that point.
Status: Required when applicable
Datatype: 1–∞ occurrences of data.pointer, separated by whitespace
Values: reference to the xml:id(s) of element(s) which end at the location(s) in question, or to an empty element at the point in question.

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

is well known from Geniza documents published by Jacob Mann.
However, if notes are numbered in sequence and their numbering can be reconstructed automatically by processing software, it may well be considered unnecessary to record the note numbers.

Module header

<term>

term contains a single-word, multi-word, or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term.
Class model.emphLike att.declaring att.typed
Declaration

   att.typed.attribute.subtype,
   attribute sortKey { data.word }?,
   ( attribute target { data.pointer } | attribute cRef { data.pointer } )?,
   macro.phraseSeq
}
Attributes
In addition to global attributes and those inherited from [att.declaring att.typed ]
sortKey supplies the sort key for this term in an index.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.word
Values: any string of Unicode characters.
Example:
David's other principal backer, Josiah ha-Kohen  <index indexName="NAMES"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <term sortKey="Azarya_Josiah_Kohen">Josiah ha-Kohen b. Azarya</term>
 </index> b. Azarya, son of one of the last gaons of Sura
was David's own first cousin.

The sort key is used to determine the sequence and grouping of entries in an index; if this attribute is not supplied, the textual content of the element is used for this purpose.
target identifies the associated gloss element by an absolute or relative URI reference
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: should be a valid URI reference that resolves to a <gloss> element
cRef identifies the associated gloss element using a canonical reference from a scheme defined in a refsDecl element in the TEI header
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.pointer
Values: the result of applying the algorithm for the resolution of canonical references (described in section ) should be a valid URI reference that resolves to a <gloss> element

The <refsDecl> to use may be indicated with the decls attribute.
Example
A computational device that infers structure from grammatical strings of words is known as a  <term
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">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="TDPV" rend="sc"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">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.

   macro.paraContent
}
Attributes
In addition to global attributes
level indicates the bibliographic level for a title, that is, whether it identifies an article, book, journal, series, or unpublished material.
Status: Required when applicable
Legal values are:
a (analytic title (article, poem, or other item published as part of a larger item) )
m (monographic title (book, collection, or other item published as a distinct item, including single volumes of multi-volume works) )
j (journal title )
s (series title )
u (title of unpublished material (including theses and dissertations unless published by a commercial press))

If the title appears directly enclosed within an <analytic> element, the level, if given, must be ‘a’; if it appears directly enclosed within a <monogr> element, level must be ‘m’, ‘j’, or ‘u’; when <title> is directly enclosed by <series>, level must be ‘s’. If it appears within a <msItem>, this attribute should not be supplied.
type classifies the title according to some convenient typology.
Status: Optional
Datatype: data.enumerated
Sample values include:
main (main title )
sub (subtitle, title of part )
alt (alternate title, often in another language, by which the work is also known )
short (abbreviated form of title)
desc (descriptive paraphrase of the work functioning as a title)

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

Macros defined

data.certainty

data.certainty defines the range of attribute values expressing a degree of certainty
Declaration 
data.certainty = "high" | "medium" | "low" | "unknown"
Note

Certainty may be expressed by one of the predefined symbolic values high, medium, or low. For more precise indication, data.probability may be used instead or in addition.
Module tei

data.code

data.code defines the range of attribute values expressing a coded value by means of a pointer to some other element which contains a definition for it.
Declaration 
data.code = xsd:anyURI
Note

It will usually be the case that the item pointed to is to be found somewhere else in the current TEI document, typically in the header, but this is not mandatory.
Module tei

data.count

data.count defines the range of attribute values used for a non-negative integer value used as a count
Declaration 
data.count = xsd:nonNegativeInteger
Note

Only positive integer values are permitted
Module tei

data.duration.iso

data.duration.iso defines the range of attribute values available for representation of a duration in time using ISO 8601 standard formats
Declaration 
data.duration.iso = token { pattern = "[0-9.,DHMPRSTWYZ/:+\-]+" }
Example
 <time dur-iso="PT0,75H"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">three-quarters of an hour</time>
Example
 <date dur-iso="P1,5D"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">a day and a half</date>
Example
 <date dur-iso="P14D"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">a fortnight</date>
Example
 <time dur-iso="PT0.02S"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">20 ms</time>
Note

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

For complete details, see ISO 8601 Data elements and interchange formats — Information interchange — Representation of dates and times.
Module tei

data.duration.w3c

data.duration.w3c defines the range of attribute values available for representation of a duration in time using W3C datatypes
Declaration 
data.duration.w3c = xsd:duration
Example
 <time dur="PT45M"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">forty-five minutes</time>
Example
 <date dur="P1DT12H"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">a day and a half</date>
Example
 <date dur="P7D"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">a week</date>
Example
 <time dur="PT0.02S"
   xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">20 ms</time>
Note

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

For complete details, see the W3C specification.
Module tei

data.enumerated

data.enumerated defines the range of attribute values expressed as a single word or token taken from a list of documented possibilities
Declaration 
data.enumerated = data.name
Note

Typically, the list of documented possibilities will be provided (or exemplified) by a value list in the associated attribute specification, expressed with a <valList> element.
Module tei

data.key

data.key defines the range of attribute values expressing a coded value by means of an arbitrary identifier, typically taken from a set of externally-defined possibilities
Declaration 
data.key = string
Note

Information about the set of possible values for an attribute using this datatype may (but need not) be documented in the document header. Externally defined constraints, for example that values should be legal keys in an external database system, cannot usually be enforced by a TEI system. Similarly, because the key is externally defined, no constraint other than a requirement that it consist of Unicode characters is possible.

Module tei

data.language

data.language defines the range of attribute values used to identify a particular combination of human language and writing system
Declaration 
data.language = xsd:language
Note
The values for this attribute are language ‘tags’ as defined in RFC 3066 or its successor. Examples include
sn
Shona
zh-TW
Taiwanese
en-SL
English as spoken in Sierra Leone
pl
Polish
es-MX
Spanish as spoken in Mexico
Module tei

data.name

data.name defines the range of attribute values expressed as an XML name or identifier
Declaration 
data.name = xsd:Name
Note

Attributes using this datatype must contain a single word which follows the rules defining a legal XML name: for example they cannot include whitespace or begin with digits.

Module tei

data.numeric

data.numeric defines the range of attribute values used for numeric values
Declaration 
data.numeric = xsd:double | xsd:decimal
Note

Any numeric value that can be represented as a decimal number.

In addition, the range of values that can be represented in an IEEE double precision (i.e., 64-bit) floating point number may be represented using scientific notation. Roughly that range is ±10⁻³²³ to ±10³⁰⁸.

To represent a number expressed in scientific notation, ‘exponential notation’ is used in the attribute value. The significand (sometimes called the mantissa) is written as a decimal number, followed by the letter E, followed by an integer exponent. The multiplication sign and the base itself (10) are implied. Either the significand or the exponent (or both) may be a negative number, in which case it should be preceded by a minus sign. There should be no whitespace separating the significand from the E from the exponent. E.g., 3×10⁸ can be expressed as 3E8.

Other examples of scientific notation include:
  • 10E10 (the speed of light in centimetres per second)
  • 9.12E-31 (the mass of an electron in Kg)
  • 4E11 (estimated number of stars in our galaxy)
  • -1.76E11 (electron charge to mass quotient in coulombs per Kg)

Either e or E may be used to separate the significand from the exponent, however these Guidelines recommend E be used both for consistency with other standards bodies and to avoid confusion with the mathematical constant e.
Module tei

data.pointer

data.pointer defines the range of attribute values used to provide a single pointer to any other resource, either within the current document or elsewhere
Declaration 
data.pointer = xsd:anyURI
Note

The range of syntactically valid values is defined by RFC 2396 Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Reference
Module tei

data.probability

data.probability defines the range of attribute values expressing a probability
Declaration 
data.probability = xsd:double { minInclusive = "0" maxInclusive = "1" }
Note

Probability is expressed as a real number between 0 and 1; 0 representing certainly false and 1 representing certainly true.
Module tei

data.temporal.w3c

data.temporal.w3c defines the range of attribute values expressing a temporal expression such as a date, a time, or a combination of them, that conform to the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes specification.
Declaration 
data.temporal.w3c =
   xsd:date
 | xsd:gYear
 | xsd:gMonth
 | xsd:gDay
 | xsd:gYearMonth
 | xsd:gMonthDay
 | xsd:time
 | xsd:dateTime
Note

If it is likely that the value used is to be compared with another, then a time zone indicator should always be included, and only the dateTime representation should be used.
Module tei

data.word

data.word defines the range of attribute values expressed as a single word or token
Declaration
