1 Introduction

This document specifies how TEI Tite should be applied. Its organizing model is roughly the structure of a TEI document itself, and it proceeds from high-level features to low, starting with general requirements, text structure, directions on when to group texts, considerations about type of text (genre and format), continuing down to instructions on marking phrase-level features, reference systems, and so forth. In its original ODD (one document does-it-all) format, this document can generate everything necessary for working in TEI Tite: both documentation (this Tite-specific prose as well as the full technical documentation for each of its elements) and schemas in either W3C Schema, RELAX NG, or XML DTD. Software utilities, including the Roma web tool, can generate these.

Tite-encoded documents are TEI documents, and TEI Tite, with the exception of convenience elements (b, i, ul, sup, sub, smcap, cols and ornament, all of which can be converted back to canonical TEI), is a pure subset of the TEI. That is, it was created primarily by removing elements and attributes from the TEI, and not from extensive modification. As a TEI customization, Tite inherits TEI semantics, and ambiguity in this specification should be resolved with reference to the TEI Guidelines. What makes Tite distinct is that where the TEI in general is famously tolerant of multiple methods of encoding a given feature, Tite seeks uniformity of encoding through constraint, via its stripped-down tag set and via this specification.

Tite can be used to encode printed prose, poetry, drama, newspapers, and anything else which can be described with the basic TEI building-blocks of divisions, paragraphs, line groups, and speeches.

In this documentation, document refers generally to the item (book, pamphlet, newspaper, etc.) to be encoded and text to either linguistic (as opposed to graphic) material or a logically distinct literary unit.

2 General Requirements

2.1 What to Capture

All printed material should be captured: all text (that is, printed characters) should be transcribed and the presence of graphical items or other non-transcribable elements should be indicated with markup.

2.2 End-of-line Hyphens

A distinction should be maintained in the electronic transcription between end-of-line or ‘soft’ hyphens (an artifact of page layout) and ‘hard’ hyphens (a linguistic feature). The former should be transcribed as the SOFT HYPHEN (U+00AD) character; the latter, as the HYPHEN-MINUS (U+002D) character generally available on Western keyboards. In the rare case of coincidence of the two types — where a word that is normally hyphenated is split across a line break at its hyphen — the hyphen should be considered hard, and transcribed as the HYPHEN-MINUS.

2.3 Character Encoding

Characters should be encoded in UTF-8. For characters not easily input from the keyboard, use hexadecimal numeric entities (e.g. é, the small latin e with acute accent, is represented as é).

2.4 Accuracy and Verification

The standard for accuracy of transcription should be at least 99.99% (1 error in 10,000 characters). The sample size for verification will be 5% of the total text.

2.5 Documenting the Encoding Process

Almost surely, difficult encoding situations will arise whose resolution may not be covered by this documentation or the TEI Guidelines. In such cases, it is important to document the markup choices that are made. To this end each encoded file should be accompanied by a document with such notes. These notes should reference features of a document that seem remarkable to encoders and how these were handled by encoders.

3 Global Text Structure

3.1 TEI Tite text structure

In TEI Tite, text is the root element, containing front matter, the body of the text, and back matter.
<text xml:id="unique-identifier">
 <front>
<!-- front matter -->
 </front>
 <body>
<!-- body of text -->
 </body>
 <back>
<!-- back matter -->
 </back>
</text>

The text's xml:id attribute should contain a unique identifier for the document being encoded.

Tite omits the <teiHeader> element as a convenience to transcribers. This departs from normal TEI practice, which requires <TEI> as the root element, containing <teiHeader> and text elements. In order to bring a document encoded in TEI Tite into adherence with the TEI abstract model, projects should add a teiHeader before engaging in post-transcription processing.

3.2 Groups of Texts

A document should be encoded as a group of texts only when each member of the group contains its own front or back matter (most often, a separate title page). In this case the group element should be a child of the text element, and should contain child text elements each containing a front, body, and back (each text need not have both front and back matter, but should have at least one). Note that this group of texts will still have its own front and back matter. When dealing with a group of texts, the basic TEI text structure is modified to look like:
<text>
 <front>
<!-- front matter for the group -->
 </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 group -->
 </back>
</text>

In cases where a document appears to contain a group of texts but the above condition is not met, encode each unit as a (numbered) <div> with an appropriate type attribute.

3.3 Structural Divisions

Tite uses numbered divisions: div1 through div7, which stand for levels of nesting within a text. div1s nest inside or are contained by the front, body, and back elements, div2s nest inside or are contained by div1s, etc. The document's table of contents is often a good place to find cues about where structural divisions start and end; other cues can be blank pages, recurring typographical or ornamental features, or a numbering system ("Chapter 5" etc.). Also, the presence of a heading will often indicate the beginning of a division.

The type attribute should be used to express the type of division being marked. Where present, use a name for division type given in the document itself. Though any constrained enumerated list of type values will have to be determined on a job-by-job basis, some examples of appropriate division types are:
  • act
  • article
  • book
  • chapter
  • essay
  • letter
  • part
  • scene
  • section
  • subsection
When a heading is present, encode it with the head element. If there is more than one heading at the beginning of a given division, encode each heading with its own head element, using the type attribute to distinguish them. Appropriate values are:
  • main
  • sub (subtitle)
  • alt (alternate)
  • desc (descriptive)
The n attribute should be used to record sequential labels associated with a structural division (numbers, numerals, letters). When present, these labels should also be transcribed within the content of head element. For instance:
<div n="III" type="part">
 <head>III: It Awakes</head>
<!-- ... -->
</div>

3.3.1 False Indicators

A divisional title is a page that resembles a half-title page: it displays the title or heading of a major structural unit on an otherwise blank page. Divisional titles should be encoded not with a separate <div> element, but as a head within the appropriate <div>. For half-title pages and similar fly-title pages see the section on Front Matter.

Another potential false indication of a new structural division is an ornament used as an informal division: a printer's ornament of some sort, a string of asterisks or periods, or a horizontal line. Mark these with the special ornament element. If the ornament is a horizontal line or printer's device or otherwise not transcribable, make the element empty and include an appropriate type attribute (line or ornament); if the ornament is made up of characters, transcribe the characters into the ornament's content.

3.4 Front and Back Matter

Front and back matter should be encoded with the front and back elements, respectively. div1 elements should contain the major sections and should be characterized by type attribute values. The exception, however, is the title page, which should be encoded with the titlePage element and its children. The titlePart element should have a type attribute with one of the following values:
  • main
  • sub (subtitle)
  • desc (descriptive title)
  • alt (alternate title)
  • volume (volume information)
<titlePart type="volume"> should be used to encode volume information wherever it is found on the title page, even if it is separated from the other title information. The elements that make up the titlePage content model are: graphic, byline, epigraph, docTitle, titlePart, docAuthor, docEdition, docImprint, docDate, figure, ornament.

Information on the verso of the title page should be included as well (after a pb).

Common items to encode in front and back matter -- and therefore common type attribute values for front and back divisions are:

front

  • acknowledgements
  • advertisement
  • castlist
  • contents
  • dedication
  • fly-title
  • foreword
  • introduction
  • preface

back

  • appendix
  • bibliography
  • colophon
  • glossary
  • index

Half-title and fly-title pages may be encountered in the front matter. A half-title page precedes the title page proper and sometimes includes volume or series information; a fly-title page comes at the very end of the front matter, just before the body. In the case of half-titles, encode these as <div1 type="half-title"> (with titlePart elements as appropriate); in the case of fly-titles, encode them likewise with <div1 type="fly-title">, making sure to make the fly-title division the last part of the front matter (and not the first part of the body, as may seem reasonable as well).

4 Types of Text

Tite is equipped to support basic encoding of several types of text: in terms of genre, it supports prose, verse, and drama, and in terms of format, it supports books, newspapers, pamphlets, and other similar printed material. Tite has special elements for letters, verse, drama, and newspapers.

4.1 Letters

opener and closer are elements designed to encode the beginning and ending sections of letters, prefaces, diary entries, or other personal types of writing. Both elements contain:
  • dateline: for recording time and place of composition; use date with when value (formatted yyyy-mm-dd) to record date information
  • signed: for recording a signature
  • salute: for recording salutation at the beginning ("Dear Roger,") or end ("Yours truly,")

opener contains the additional elements epigraph, argument, and byline. epigraph will often be useful in the context of a letter. When encoding an epigraph, make sure to encode the content as you would any other feature, marking line groups, bibliographical elements, etc.

argument and byline, however, are not intended specifically for use with letters:
  • argument: for a summary that precedes a division
  • byline: for a statement of responsibility for the document

4.2 Verse

All verse should be encoded within at least one lg element, even when there are no distinct stanzas or when the verse is interspersed with prose. If it is known, use the type attribute to express the type of line group. Sometimes within a poem there is a question about what should be tagged as a lg or as a separate <div>. As a rough rule of thumb, if there is a title accompanying the division, use the <div> element; otherwise, use lg.

Each line of verse should be encoded with the l element, and care should be taken to distinguish these logical lines of verse from lines motivated by page layout. The latter should be encoded as lbs. Thus
AS virtuous men pass mildly away, And whisper to their souls to go, Whilst some of their sad friends do say, "Now his breath goes," and some say, "No."
should be encoded as
<lg type="stanza">
 <l>AS virtuous men pass mildly away,</l>
 <l rend="indent(1)">And whisper to their souls to<lb/> go,</l>
 <l>Whilst some of their sad friends<lb/> do say,</l>
 <l rend="indent(1)">"Now his breath goes," and<lb/> some say, "No."</l>
</lg>
Also, as in the example above, use the rend attribute to mark when a line is indented more than its siblings. Use ‘numbered’ indent values (e.g. ‘indent(1)’, ‘indent(2)’, etc.) to make clear levels of indentation.

4.3 Drama

The standard TEI elements for drama should be used: sp, stage, speaker. If the who attribute is used on sp, also transcribe who is given as the speaker, in whatever form it is written, in the speaker element. Short pieces of stage direction that accompany the speaker designation may be included in the speaker element.

Scenes and acts should be encoded as appropriately nested <div> elements with type attributes of scene or act, respectively. Cast lists can likewise be encoded using <div> and type="castlist".

Prologues and epilogues can be treated as sps of their own, unless their structure would be better represented by nested <div> elements.

4.4 Newspapers

Tite includes the elements cols and cb which are well suited for the multi-column layout of newspapers. Additional relevant elements are: ref, to encode a pointer to the continuation of a story in a different column or on a different page; and figure, to describe illustrations, advertisements, and cartoons.

5 Block-level Features

5.1 Block Quotations

Use the q element to encode block quotations. A block quotation is indicated by its being set off from surrounding text either with extra line-spacing or margins or with a different typeface. If the quotation is of an entire text, use the floatingText element and its children inside the q element:
<div1 type="intro">
 <p>
<!-- ... -->
 </p>
 <q>
  <floatingText>
   <body>
    <lg type="poem">
<!-- poem -->
    </lg>
   </body>
  </floatingText>
 </q>
 <p>
<!-- ... -->
 </p>
</div1>

If present, transcribe all quotation marks or other delimiters inside the q element.

5.2 Figures

Use the figure element to encode figures. If a figure has a heading or caption, encode it with the head element. If there is associated text, simply use a p to encode it.

5.3 Tables and Lists

Tables and lists are encoded as in the TEI Guidelines, but note the following.

If a cell in a table is a heading or a label, set the role attribute to label; if the cell contains data, there is no need to use role: data is the default. If a cell or row spans more than one column or row, use the rows or cols attributes set to the number of columns or rows that it spans.

If unsure about whether a structure is best encoded as a list or table, record it as a table only if it would not be properly understood without tabular layout.

Lists should be encoded as either sequences of <items> or label-item pairs. When items in the list contain a label, as in a gloss list, be sure to use the latter form.

5.4 Notes

Both the reference to the note in the running text and the note itself must be encoded. Use ptr or ref to encode the reference. If there is no reference in the text (often the case for marginal notes), supply a ptr element in a reasonable place in the text running beside the note. If there is a reference (number, symbol, etc.), use the ref element and include the reference text as the content. In both cases, a target attribute must be supplied which contains the xml:id value of the associated note.

When encoding the note itself with the note element, the xml:id and place attributes must be supplied. See the TEI documentation for acceptable values for place; the most common will be foot, end, margin-left (-right, -top, -bot).

Transcribe the note directly after it is referenced in the document. In the case of notes without explicit reference (pointed to with ptr), set the anchored attribute to false.

5.5 ‘divWrapper’ Elements

Elements that can appear at the beginning and end of structural divisions, such as argument, epigraph, and opener, are called ‘divWrapper’ elements in the TEI class system. An argument is a summary of what is to come; be sure to distinguish this from a heading, which is a title for the division. If an epigraph comes with bibliographic or simple citation material, encode this as well. For example:
<epigraph>
 <cit>
  <q>"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every
     form of tyranny over the mind of man."</q>
  <bibl>
   <author>Thomas Jefferson.</author>
  </bibl>
 </cit>
</epigraph>

5.6 Uncertain Blocks

In rare cases where the logical identity of a block-level element is hard to discern, use the TEI element ab (anonymous block) instead of applying a p or <div> element. In these cases, be sure to document this decision in accompanying notes. Applying this element should be viewed as a last resort.

The gap element should be used when for some reason the document being transcribed contains illegible text (smudged, torn, missing, etc.) or something outside the scope of transcription for a given project: characters in an unsupported character set, for instance. gap indicates that something is omitted. When using gap, set the reason attribute to an appropriate value. (See <unclear> below.)

6 Phrase-level Features

6.1 Typographical Changes

There are six elements in Tite that capture specific typographical features:
b
for bold-face glyphs
i
for italicized glyphs
ul
for underlined glyphs
smcap
for glyphs in small-caps
sub
for glyphs in subscript
sup
for glyphs in superscript
These mark the physical change, and are agnostic about a logical motivation for it. There are two exceptions to this approach, however: marking foreign words and titles. In the case of foreign words, use the foreign element; in the case of titles, use the title element only if certain that the word or phrase in question is a title. If a phrase is, say, italicized, but you are uncertain about its being a title, use the i element instead. Foreign words should be marked only if they are typographically distinguished from surrounding text.

If there is a typographical feature not covered by the above elements, the TEI hi element is still available in Tite. Use it without a rend attribute.

6.2 Phrase-level Quotation

For passages set off by quotation marks or another delimeter, use the q element, including the delimeter inside the tag.

6.3 Alignment and Indentation

If the alignment of an element seems remarkable, set the element's rend attribute to an appropriate value (normally center, right, left, etc.). However, when semantic already accounts for its cause, description of alignment is not necessary. Headings, for instance, do not need to be marked as being centered.

To indicate level of indentation (often in verse), use numerical ‘arguments’ to ‘indent’, as in indent(1), indent(-1), and so on.

6.4 Uncertain Segments

The seg element is the phrase-level analogue to the ab element. If a phrase-level feature seems to be present but its identity is hard to fathom, use this element. This, again, is a last resort.

Alternately, when a passage of text is for some reason too hard to read, use the unclear element, setting the reason attribute to an appropriate value. When using unclear, surround the entire word with the tag if any part of it is unclear (not just the illegible letter, say).

6.5 Unknown Glyphs

For cases in which it is unknown which character a given glyph corresponds to, mark the glyph with the g element to indicate the uncertainty. By convention in Tite, g represents any unknown glyph; no ref attribute is necessary. Note that unknown glyphs are different from illegible text.

7 Reference Systems

Encode page breaks (pb) at the start of each page, and encode breaks even for blank pages. If the page is numbered, include the page number as the value of the n attribute and, again, no matter where the page number is printed on the page, place the pb element at the ‘top.’

If marking column breaks, follow the same rules as for page breaks. Column breaks are imagined to appear at the top of the column, at the beginning of the column's text. The cols element exists to record a change in columnar layout. If such a change occurs, mark the beginning of the new layout with cols and supply the new number of columns as the value for the n attribute.

If line breaks are to be captured, use the lb element.

Appendix A TEI Tite and TEI Text Encoding in Libraries Guidelines

As of May 2009, the TEI Special Interest Group (SIG) on Libraries is in the process of revising its TEI Text Encoding in Libraries: Guidelines for Best Encoding Practices (GBP) document, which creates common definitions of ‘levels of encoding’ based on depth of markup applied. A draft of this document is available at the Libraries SIG's wiki. Because the levels of encoding provide a tremendously useful common set of terms, it's helpful to situate TEI Tite according to them.

Mapped to GBP levels, TEI Tite would sit between three and four: it requires use of all the elements from level three plus additional ones, but requires fewer elements than level four. Relative to level three, ‘Simple Analysis,’ Tite
Because Tite is closer to it, it's level four (‘Basic Content Analysis’) that provides the most useful comparison. The folowing items represent instances where Tite is less ambitious than level four: As of this point, it seems that bringing Tite-encoded documents up to GBP level four would simply require additional application of markup, not significant reworking of markup, and in that way Tite seems compatible with the GBP.

Not mentioned above is one key but purposeful incompatibility: Tite's lack of a header. A TEI header must be added, and the root <TEI> element used for compatibility with the GBP, and with the TEI abstract model in general.

Schema tei_tite: Attribute classes

att.ascribed

att.ascribed provides attributes for elements representing speech or action that can be ascribed to a specific individual.
Module tei
Members q sp
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  xsd:anyURI 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.canonical

att.canonical provides attributes which can be used to associate a representation such as a name or title with canonical information about the object being named or referenced.
Module tei
Members att.naming [name pubPlace] author docAuthor docTitle resp title
Attributes In addition to global attributes
key provides an externally-defined means of identifying the entity (or entities) being named, using a coded value of some kind.
Status Optional
Datatype string
Values any string of Unicode characters
Note
The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or any other externally-defined string identifying the referent.
ref (reference) provides an explicit means of locating a full definition for the entity being named by means of one or more URIs.
Status Optional
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of  xsd:anyURI separated by whitespace
Note
The value must point directly to one or more XML elements by means of one or more URIs, separated by whitespace. If more than one is supplied, the implication is that the name identifies several distinct entities.

att.datable

att.datable provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain dates, times, or datable events.
Module tei
Members date time
Attributes 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.
Module tei
Members att.datable [date time]
Attributes In addition to global attributes
period supplies a pointer to some location defining a named period of time within which the datable item is understood to have occurred.
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:anyURI
when supplies the value of the date or time in a 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
Values A normalized form of temporal expression conforming to the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition.

Examples of W3C date, time, and date & time formats.

Note
The value of the when attribute should be the normalized representation of the date, time, or combined date & time intended, in any of the standard formats specified by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, using the Gregorian calendar.
The most commonly-encountered format for the date part of the when attribute is yyyy-mm-dd, but yyyy, --mm, ---dd, yyyy-mm, or --mm-dd may also be used. For the time part, the form hh:mm:ss is used.
Note that this format does not currently permit use of the value 0000 to represent the year 1 BCE; instead the value -0001 should be used.
notBefore specifies 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
Values A normalized form of temporal expression conforming to the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition.
notAfter specifies the latest possible date for the event in standard form, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd.

att.declarable

att.declarable provides attributes for those elements in the TEI Header which may be independently selected by means of the special purpose decls attribute.
Module tei
Members bibl listBibl
Attributes Global attributes only

att.declaring

Module tei
Members ab back body div1 div2 div3 div4 div5 div6 div7 floatingText front graphic group lg p ptr ref text
Attributes In addition to global attributes
decls identifies one or more declarable elements within the header, which are understood to apply to the element bearing this attribute and its content.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of  xsd:anyURI separated by whitespace

measurement applies to only the specified range of instances.

att.editLike

att.editLike provides attributes describing the nature of a encoded scholarly intervention or interpretation of any kind.
Module tei
Members date gap time unclear
Attributes att.dimensions (@unit, @quantity, @extent, @precision, @scope) (att.ranging (@atLeast, @atMost, @min, @max))
source contains a list of one or more pointers indicating the sources which support the given reading.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of  xsd:anyURI separated by whitespace
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.

att.global

att.global provides attributes common to all elements in the TEI encoding scheme.
Module tei
Members b cols i ornament smcap sub sup ul
Attributes In addition to global attributes
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.
<head rend="align(center) case(allcaps)">
 <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:base provides 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.

att.measurement

att.measurement provides attributes to represent a regularized or normalized measurement.
Module tei
Members measureGrp
Attributes In addition to global attributes
unit indicates the units used for the measurement, usually using the standard symbol for the desired units.

ha
(hectare) 1 hm²
Å
(ångström) 10⁻¹⁰ m
mL

MB
(megabyte) 10⁶ or 1 000 000 bytes
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.
quantity specifies the number of the specified units that comprise the measurement
Status Optional
Datatype xsd:double | token { pattern = "(\-?[\d]+/\-?[\d]+)" } | xsd:decimal
commodity indicates 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="0.5" unit="gal" commodity="ice cream">half a gallon</measure>, baby</l>
<!-- normalization: -->
<l>So won't you go and buy <measure quantity="1.893" unit="L" commodity="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

att.pointing

att.pointing defines a set of attributes used by all elements which point to other elements by means of one or more URI references.
Module linking
Members ptr ref
Attributes In addition to global attributes
type categorizes 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.
evaluate specifies 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.

Schema tei_tite: Elements

<ab>

<ab> (anonymous block) contains any arbitrary component-level unit of text, acting as an anonymous container for phrase or inter level elements analogous to, but without the semantic baggage of, a paragraph. http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/SA.html#SASE
Module linking
In addition to global attributes att.typed (@type) att.declaring (@decls)
part specifies whether or not the block is complete.
Status Mandatory when applicable
Legal values are:
Y
(yes) the block is incomplete
N
(no) either the block is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness [Default]
I
(initial) the initial part of an incomplete block
M
(medial) a medial part of an incomplete block
F
(final) the final part of an incomplete block
Note
The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the block is to be reconstituted.

<!-- ...-->
 </div>
</div>
Note
The ab element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any component-level elements in a text for which no other more specific appropriate markup is defined.

<abbr>

<abbr> (abbreviation) contains an abbreviation of any sort. http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/CO.html#CONAAB
Module core
In addition to global attributes In addition to global attributes
type allows 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. For a typology of Middle English abbreviations, see ??

Note
Particularly where cataloguing is likely to be based on the content of the header, it is advisable to use a generally recognized name authority file to supply the content for this element. The attributes key or ref may also be used to reference canonical information about the author(s) intended from any appropriate authority, such as a library catalogue or online resource.
In the case of a broadcast, use this element for the name of the company or network responsible for making the broadcast.
Where an author is unknown or unspecified, this element may contain text such as Unknown or Anonymous. When the appropriate TEI modules are in use, it may also contain detailed tagging of the names used for people, organizations or places, in particular where multiple names are given.
