As a result of automated or manual processing named entities are annotated in the text. The following TEI elements are used: geogName, name, orgName, persName, placeName, rs, and title.

<persName> (personal name) contains a proper noun or proper-noun phrase referring to a person.

The @key attribute is used when the name has been identified.

placeName contains an absolute or relative place name.

The @key attribute is used when the name has been identified.

rs (referencing string) contains a general purpose name or referring string.

The ePistolarium uses this with either of two values of the @type attribute.
type="person" for person names
type="place" for place names
In both cases the references are indirect, for instance "X's sister".
The @key attribute is used when the name has been identified.

orgName (organization name) contains an organizational name.

No normalization is used.

geogName (geographical name) identifies a name associated with some geographical feature.

Used to annotated names of mountains, rivers, and seas.
No normalization is used.

title contains a title for any kind of work.

No normalization is used.

name contains a proper noun or noun phrase.

Used for names that do nor belong to the categories mentioned above.
