Hi everybody, the second part of Gautiers considerations concern the suggestion to have a dedictated element <elongata>. Here I can follow him without any carping :-) Best wishes Georg On 5 Nov 2004 at 22:05, Gautier Poupeau wrote:
I'm ok with Michael. I already say in Münnich, for me it's an error to create specific elements for the different part of a charter. So, <seg> can be a solution, but there is better : <div> and we add the type of part with the attribute "type". It's the goal of the <div> element to indicate the structure of the document. It's important, because we can edite another type of documents : letters, livre de comptes who don't have the same structure... and if we don't use generical elements to indicate the structure of our charters, we will not have to interrogate the different type of sources together and we loose the principle of interoperability, the goal of XML. For the same reason (think generic, not too specific), i think the <document> element can be replaced by a <div type="document"> or <div type="charters"> and for the <num> element we can use an attribute for example "n". Indeed, i think the meta-information like the number of a charter must be in an attribute and the text beetween the element must be interresting for an interrogation for a research. In the same logic, we can say <div type="text"> for <tenor>. For example : <div type="document"> <div type="regestum"> regeste </div> <div type="text"> <div type="protocol"> <div type="invocatio"> blabla.... </div>..... </div> <div type="context"> ..... </div> <div type="eschatocol"> .... </div> </div> </div>
The <elongata> element can be replaced by <hi rend="ellongata">, indeed the <hi> element "marks a word or phrase as graphically distinct from the surrounding text" (tei Guideliness). This remark don't prevent to normalyze between us the content of the "type" attribute. I don't understand good the goal of the element : facsimilia, prints, regesta, studies. Are you sure it's an element or the content of an element ? If i understant good, the goal of this elements is to indicate wich type of edition we encode. For that, we can use the <witDetail> element with the "type" attribute, for example : <witDetail type="classdocuments">facsimilia</witDetail>.

Hi,
1. We suggest to use TEI element <seg> inside of the element <tenor> as a generic element for any diplomatic part encoding. The use <seg> would allow to avoid any restrictions on the hierarchy or naming for any given class of charters. The name of the diplomatic part shall be assigned to the "type" attribute.
2. We suggest to use CID definitions of diplomatic parts for general guidance only and to allow any other name to be used without violating of the <tenor> definition.
