Theoretical writings (Mondrian)

Theoretical writings

We have insufficient knowledge of the properties of the theoretical writings to make final decisions about their encoding. For now, we have decided to relate source and destination texts to each other by pointing from the destination to the source at the paragraph and at the term level.

These references may look like:

At paragraph level (in this example there are two source paragraphs):

<p xml:id="p2" corresp="BornInHollandTest.xml#p1 BornInHollandTest.xml#p3">

At term level:

which obscure <term xml:id="t1" corresp="BornInHolland.xml#t3">pure reality</term>.

Stages of writing: the TEI also uses the term ‘revision campaigns’, see http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/PH.html#PH-changes. They are identified on div’s and other elements using the change-attribute. The change attributes points to change-elements collected in a listChange-element in the header (in profileDesc/creation). listChange-elements can nest, in order to describe groups of related changes. To be decided: how do the values in the change attribute relate to the values in the seq-attribute on add’s and dels?

Rotation of the writing surface is encoded on the zones within the surfaces:

No rotate-attribute or rotate=”0”	Zone contains normal writing
rotate=”90”	Zone contains writing sideways/downward
rotate=”-90”	Zone contains writing sideways/upward
rotate=”180”	Zone contains top-down writing
