Some remarks

• <dateLet>: The text of dateLet is what you want to appear in the edition. Attributes indicate the precise date using the when attribute and possible notBefore and notAfter (in this case, the when attribute is what will be used for sorting). In the attributes, the dates are entered as jjjj-mm-dd.
  • Single date:

<md:dateLet attested="yes" when="1935-03-13">March 13, 1935</md:dateLet>

• • Date range:

<md:dateLet attested="no" when="1935-03-13" notAfter="1935-03-14"
   notBefore="1935-03-13">March 13 or March 14, 1935</md:dateLet>

• <publicationStmt>: <authority>Coppes/Jansen</authority>

• Informatie over de decoratie ziet er bijvoorbeeld zo uit:

<decoration>
 <decoList>
  <decoItem id="fig1">
   <decoDesc>
    <p>small black/white drawing of a tree</p>
   </decoDesc>
  </decoItem>
  <decoItem id="fig2">
   <decoDesc>
    <p>small color drawing of suggested page layout, containing some text</p>
   </decoDesc>
  </decoItem>
 </decoList>
</decoration>

The md:type attribute contains the type of document and has one of the values: letter, postcard, telegram (or manuscript, article?)

The elements <author> and <addressee> are required to have a @key, which points to a resource about the person mentioned (in this case, the RKDartists inventory)

<author> and <addressee> can also have @attested and @accepted; <placeLet> and <dateLet> can just have @attested. We vullen attested/accepted in. (Attested: expliciet gedocumenteerd; accepted: inductief)

More information on how these elements are used is available in Creating Mondrian: further guidelines

In <letContents>, informations can be organized in one or more paragraphs

, keywords <keywords> or as notes <note>.</s> We probably won't use this. <envOcc> is a required element, with a required @occ, to encode the presence of an envelope.
