The metadata in the ePistolarium documents is contained in the teiHeader element. Each item is a meta milestone element with attributes type and value. The standard types are as follows:
- uuid
- the unique identifier of the letter.
- correspondence
- the identifier of the correspondence; required.
- id
- the identifier of letter in the correspondence; required, must be unique in the correspondence.
- date
- the date of writing of the letter. Values are encoded in the Extended Date/Time Format. We use the Gregorian calendar, so Julian dates must be converted. Furthermore, if multiple dates are used in a letter, the last one is used because it approximates the date of sending best (ranges are used for uncertainty).
- sender
- the identifier of the sender (may occur multiple times); use value "?" if unknown.
- senderloc
- the identifier for the location where the letter was sent; use value "?" if unknown.
- recipient
- the identifier of the recipient (may occur multiple times); use value "?" if unknown.
- recipientloc
- the identifier for the location where the letter was received; use value "?" if unknown.
Each metadata item is allowed only once, except for "sender" and "recipient.
