Dear colleagues, as there weren't any new suggestions to the diplomatic discourse section I would like to open the discussion for the next facet, we called in spring not very convincing "Philology" adressing principally the questions of critical edition. The most part of our elements in http://www.cei.lmu.de/facetedview.php?facetID=65 are borrowed from the TEI. If I'm right only <traditioForm> is not really covered by the TEI. I would suggest to follow Lucianas proposal to change the name to "transmission" and would propose myself to add as childs transmissionStatus (i.e. original, copy, authenticated copy etc.), transmissionResp for the person - if known - who is responsible for the copy etc. and transmissionDate as we already introduced in the chronology facet. I'm curious to read your comments and receive other proposals for this section until end of September All the best Georg -- ------------------------------------- Dr.Georg Vogeler Università del Salento Dipartimento dei Beni delle Arti e della Storia Monastero degli Olivetani Viale San Nicola I - 73100 Lecce +39 346 7270613 g.vogeler@lrz.uni-muenchen.de http://www.geschichte.uni-muenchen.de/ghw/personen_vogeler.shtml
