TEI tagging of text annotations

Semantic annotation supported by TEI

v3.0, 10 Feb 2016

Citation: Daniel A. Werning & Wiki Contributers. 10 Feb 2016. TEI:Body http://wikis.hu-berlin.de/annotated_text_databases/index.php?title=TEI:Body&oldid=75, in: Annotated Text Databases. A collaborative Wiki for the coordination of TEI encoding and metadata thesauri for ancient manuscripts (Open access Wiki) http://wikis.hu-berlin.de/annotated_text_databases/, ed. by Daniel A. Werning, Berlin: Humboldt University Berlin.

Personal names and individual persons

Example for individual person:

  <persName 
    type="royal" 
    key="Ptolemaios_III_Euergetes_I" 
    ref="http://www.trismegistos.org/person/12909">
    nymref="http://www.trismegistos.org/name/5317"> 
    Ptrwmys</name>
  </persName>

Examples for name (without identification with individual person):

  <persName 
    type="non_royal"> 
    key="Amenophis" 
    nymref="http://www.trismegistos.org/name/8042"> 
    jmn-m-jp.t</name>
  </persName>

Place names

Example:

<placeName type="settlement" key="Elephantine" ref="http://www.trismegistos.org/place/621">Yb</placeName>

Alternatives for "settlement" are "district", "region", "country".

Dates

Examples:

• Regnal years: ... n <date when-custom="Ptolemaios_III:11" datingMethod="#regnal_year">ḥsb.t 11</date>
• Others: <date when-custom="Parmuti:9">ⲡⲁⲣⲙⲁⲧ ⲑ</date>

If you can provide a modern calendar year (TLA chronology, like in the database), add notBefore="..." notAfter="..." plus a precision="..." attribute, e.g.

• <date when-custom="Ptolemaios_III:11" datingMethod="#regnal_year" notBefore="-0236" notAfter="-0235" precision="high">ḥsb.t 11</date>
• <date when-custom="Parmuti:9" notBefore="0450" notAfter="0465" precision="medium">ⲡⲁⲣⲙⲁⲧ ⲑ</date>

Instead of a time span one may refer to an individual year using a when="..." attribute:

• <date when-custom="Ptolemaios_III:11" datingMethod="#regnal_year" when="-0236" precision="high">ḥsb.t 11</date>

Years BC are negative values; year values must have 4 digits. (Months may follow: notBefore="-0236-05" notAfter="-0235-04" or when="0455-03"; month must have 2 digits).
