Dear list, it took me a bit to get back to our discussion last november. I finally tried to introduce your arguments in the draft of the TEI proposal. Briefly: <text type="charter"> replaces <document> for the single charter. <chDesc> (for CharterDescription) replaces <regestum> for the metadata. <idno> replaces <number> for the given identifying number of a single charter. <listBibl type="facsimilia|prints|regesta|studies"> replaces the dedicated elements <facsimilia> <prints> <regesta> <studies>. The discussion on the segmentation of the tenor didn't reach a consensus. As a compromise I would like to suggest to keep the elements of the well-established diplomatic terminology (<arenga>, <narratio>, <dispositio> etc.) but do not force them into the strict hierarchy of the <protocoll>, <context> and <eschatocoll>. Did I miss anything? You can find the new version of the proposal to the TEI at http://www.cei.lmu.de/TEI-Proposal.pdf or http://www.cei.lmu.de/TEI-Proposal.rtf and I hope everybody can agree with it as the base of further discussion, but I expect lots of suggestions for improvements of content and style. Just let me know during the next two weeks. After that I will post the proposal.
