Manuscript Description

• att.msExcerpt (manuscript excerpt) provides attributes used to describe excerpts from a manuscript placed in a description thereof.
• att.msClass provides attributes to indicate text type or classification.

Names and Dates

• att.datable.custom provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain datable events to a custom dating system (i.e. other than the Gregorian used by W3 and ISO).
• att.datable.iso provides attributes for normalization of elements that contain datable events using the ISO 8601:2004 standard.

Spoken

• Transcribed Speech

  • att.translatable provides attributes used to indicate the status of a translatable portion of an ODD document.
  • att.predicate provides attributes for filtering by an XPath predicate expression.
  • att.repeatable provides attributes for the elements which define component parts of a content model.
  • att.combinable provides attributes indicating how multiple references to the same object in a schema should be combined
  • att.identified provides identifying attributes for elements which can be subsequently referenced by means of a key attribute.
  • att.deprecated provides attributes indicating how a deprecated feature will be treated in future releases.

  • att.textCritical defines a set of attributes common to all elements representing variant readings in text critical work.

Transcr

• Transcription of primary sources
  • att.global.facs provides attributes used to express correspondence between an element and all or part of a facsimile image or surface.
  • att.global.change provides attributes allowing its member elements to specify one or more states or revision campaigns with which they are associated.
