Changes to the Menota DTD

Changes in element classes

metrical

Defines a set of attributes which certain elements may use to represent metrical information.

Changes in Menota:
The attributes ass and all are added to this class.

Declaration:

<!ENTITY % a.metrical '
  met CDATA %INHERITED;
  real CDATA #IMPLIED
  rhyme CDATA #IMPLIED
  ass CDATA #IMPLIED
  all CDATA #IMPLIED'>

ass

New attribute added by Menota.

Indicates assonance in the stanzaic text.

Example:
See ch. 9.3

all

New attribute added by Menota.

Indicates alliteration in the stanzaic text.

Example:
See ch. 9.3

See further:
TEI P4 for the original declaration and the Menota handbook ch. 9 on metrical encoding.

New attributes in elements which are not changed otherwise

<term>

Contains a single-word, multi-word or symbolic designation which is regarded as a technical term.

reg

New attribute added by Menota.

Indicates regularised text. Used in chapter 10.5 of the Menota handbook. The use of the TEI element with the attributes type and reg allows for more precise searching than would be possible with free text (but is obviously dependent on there being a commonly agreed taxonomy). This use is however questionable and might be removed in later editions.

Declaration:

<!ATTLIST
  term reg CDATA #IMPLIED>

See further:
TEI P4 for the original declaration of the element and the Menota handbook ch. 10.5 for the use of the element in Menota.

New elements

The following elements (<dipl>, <facs> and <norm>) are all made to be used in the elements <w> and <supplied> and are made using the same template.

<dipl>

Contains the diplomatic form of a reading.

The element is based on the element <orig> in TEI, but with some changes: <note> and m.fragmentary are added to the content model, and a.seg is added to the attribute list.

The attributes below come in addition to global attributes and those inherited from a.seg.

Changes to elements in TEI P4

<supplied>

Signifies text supplied by the transcriber or editor in place of text which cannot be read, either because of physical damage or loss in the original or because it is illegible for any reason.

Changes in Menota:
The new elements <facs>, <dipl> and <norm> are added to the content model. <lacunaEnd>, <lacunaStart>, <witEnd> and <witStart> are added to the content model by including m.fragmentary. The type attribute is added; other attributes are as in the original.

type

Indicates the type of the supplied text.

Datatype:
CDATA

Values:
–

Default:
#IMPLIED

Example:

<facs>
<supplied resp="KGJ" source="Neckel1983:13"
rend="sequence">at</supplied>
</facs>

Declaration:

<!ELEMENT supplied %om.RO; (#PCDATA | facs | dipl | norm | %m.phrase; | %m.inter; | %m.Incl; | %m.fragmentary;)* >

<!ATTLIST supplied
  %a.global;
  reason CDATA #IMPLIED
  resp CDATA %INHERITED;
  hand IDREF %INHERITED;
  agent CDATA #IMPLIED
  source CDATA #IMPLIED
  type CDATA #IMPLIED>

See further:
TEI P4 for the original declaration of the element.

<w>

Represents a grammatical (not necessarily orthographic) word.

Changes in Menota:
The new elements <facs>, <dipl> and <norm> are added to the content model. <lacunaEnd>, <lacunaStart>, <witEnd> and <witStart> are added to the content model by including m.fragmentary. The additional elements <hi>, <sic>, <foreign>, <add>, <del>, <unclear> and <supplied> are added to the content model. The recursive <w> element is removed from the content model (we might allow recursive <w> again in the future). The attributes pos and reg are added; other attributes are as in the original.

pos

With the attribute pos we can add information about the morphosyntactic form of the individual representation of a lemma, i.e. the form provided in the element <facs> is described morphosyntactically. To be able to make this analysis, it is necessary to create a model for the encoding that describes all the possible morphological forms of each lemma.

Datatype:
CDATA

Values:
Cf. the Menota handbook ch. 8.4 for details.

Default:
#IMPLIED

Example:

<w lemma="sjaundi" pos="NUOFSN#">sjaunda</w>

reg

The diplomatic level can be supplied by the attribute rend and the normalised form by the attribute reg. Since elements are not allowed in attributes, the function of the <expan> element is taken over by curly brackets, e.g. "han{n}" for "han<expan>n</expan>".

Datatype:
CDATA

Values:
–

Default:
#IMPLIED

Example:

<w rend="c{ri}sz" reg="Krists">c&isup;&slong;z</w>

Example:

<w>
<facs>c&isup;&slong;z</facs>
<dipl>c<expan>ri</expan>sz</dipl>
<norm>Krists</norm>
</w>

Declaration:

<!ELEMENT w %om.RR; (#PCDATA | seg | m | c | facs | dipl | norm | add | del | unclear | supplied | foreign | hi | sic| %m.fragmentary;| %m.Incl;)* >

<!ATTLIST w
  %a.global;
  %a.seg;
  lemma CDATA #IMPLIED
  pos CDATA #IMPLIED
  reg CDATA #IMPLIED >
