These are decisions taken during the eDITem project that have to be worked into the rest of the documentation. For the moment, we document them here.
We will not be using sic and corr, but orig and reg. We move the @type from the sic to the reg (not to the orig: not allowed).
Organizations:
We create a separated .xml file for organizations. In the text we use the following encoding: <rs type="org" ref="org.xml#xxx">
Sample of the Organizations file:
-listOrg
org
@ana (value: museum, gallery, artistassoc, firm, org) and @xml:id
orgName
place
country
settlement
desc
Layout:
For now we regularise layout of postcards the way we do letters.
We display date/place always full left, on a single line, followed by one white line. We change the current encoding for address and date in dateline (to be added by a stylesheet):
<opener>
<dateline> … </dateline> <salute> … </salute>
</opener>
We display salutation always full left, beneath the date/place after a white line and the first line of the letter immediately below the salutation, set full left.
Paragraphs are indented except for the first line of the letter text and after a white line.
Postscripts are shown after the signature and after one white line.
Superscript encoded as @rend='super'. @underline, when combined with superscript, removed in the site, but kept in the xml.
Unusual abbreviations: to be coded as <choice><expan>. The usual abbreviations will be described in a list.
White lines: keep them in xml as they are encoded (vertical spaces) and display them as one white line when they occur within the body of the letters. After <opener> use the @rend=“norend” encoding. (The @rend=“norend” will be added through a stylesheet)
Quotation marks: still under discussion.
Comma and full stop: to be encoded with <orig> and <reg>
Single underlining: encode as underlined and display in italics
Multiple underlining: encode as multiple underlined and display in italics. Annotation when the underlining have a specific meaning.
Atypical writing, combinations, repeated quotes, quotations, lines and dots: not relevant or not present
Parentheses: all parentheses are typed as written
Uncertainties: encode with <choice><unclear><unclear>. Display content of first unclear element. (Perhaps visualise with mouse-over).
Additions in margins: encode with <add> and @place with values: “left margin” “right margin” “bottom margin” “top margin”
Metamark coded as <metamark/>
Appendices: encode as a separated division with @type="appendix", and a new <pb/>
We make explicit what is preprinted or pre-written by using the @rend with "preprinted" or "prewritten" values. We do that only when Mondrian fill in preprinted/prewritten address or forms and not for fixed parts of the letters (as letterheads).
Table: encode as such when they occur (with
