Encoding French modern manuscripts and printed documents

Schemas and documentation for the E-ditiones project.

Encoding levels

The metadata and the transcriptions both have their own schemas.

• Two for the <teiHeader> (metadata)
  • One for prints
  • One for manuscripts
• Three for the <text> (transcription)
  • Level 1 : the encoding will distinguish form and content
  • Level 2 : we will add semantic informations
  • Level 3 : we will add linguistical informations

ODD-chaining

All these schemas are related to one another thanks to ODD-chaining.

All the documents used to create the sub-schemas are available in this repo.

1. Mother-ODD.xml: the ODD containing all the elements that can be used.
2. Mother-compiled.xml: Mother-ODD.xml transformed with odd2odd.xsl

You can learn more about the process on wiki.tei-c.org or with this tutorial by Lou Burnard.

Schemas

This repository contains all the schemas of the E-ditiones project in the RELAX NG language.

You will find six specific schemas, there are schemas for :

• one for the header of a manuscript
• one for the header of a printed document
• one for the text at level 1
• one for the text at level 2
• one for the text at level 3

Guidelines

If you need more details, we wrote an encording manual which explains how to encode your file step by step.

Documentation

The documentation of this project is available in the folder Documentation. You can find the XML version in the file ODD-body.xml.

Examples

The encoding may have changed. Click here to see most recent examples.

Some examples are available in the folder Examples.

Each file is named according to its content : Identifier.xml matches the header of the file and Identifier_Level-of-encoding.xml matches the text. For example, EXP_0001-1.xml matches with the text (as transcription) which has the identifier EXP_0001 at level 1.

Please note that we are still working on the best way to form a complete file.

• header of a manuscript
• header of a print
• text at level 1
• text at level 2
• text at level 3
