TEI tagging of text annotations

Semantic annotation supported by TEI

Personal names and individual persons

Example for individual person in line with EpiDoc 8.21 Guidelines:[1] 

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

Examples for name (without identification with individual person): 

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

For dating by regnal years, use @when-custom and @datingMethod, and seperate ruler and regnal year by ":":[2] 

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

Example for Coptic month: 

  <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 and must have 2 digits: 

  notBefore="-0236-05" notAfter="-0235-04"

or 

  when="0455-03"
