Sandbox for Genetic Editing

The purpose of this page is to discuss any issues of the with chapter 11 of version 2 of TEI P5, especially the elements and attributes which have been newly introduced in this version in the wake of the draft proposal “An Encoding Model for Genetic Editions”: The page is not confined to issues of ‘genetic’ editing. Any problems of ‘diplomatic’ or ‘documentary’ transcriptions of manuscripts, be they modern, medieval or ancient, may be addressed here.

Also, the well-established elements and attributes may need to be discussed as their use is in many ways affected by the new ones.

Projects

 * Genetic-critical and annotated hybrid-edition of Theodor Fontane’s notebooks based on a virtual research environment: our TEI code (not published yet) is based on a / / structure. We're happy to discuss encoding issues here. --Martin de la Iglesia 06:49, 25 October 2013 (EDT)
 * Faustedition
 * Transcription of the John Lydgate verses at Holy Trinity, Long Melford, see Matthew Davis’ post on TEI-L: http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=TEI-L;34ca5119.1311
 * The Shelley-Godwin Archive employs an encoding based on / / and making use of (e.g. ) and elements. The archive distinguishes two stages of transcriptions (basic and fully vetted) and the TEI encodings are directly accessible through the browser.
 * Textgenetic edition of Hermann Burger's Lokalbericht; currently being modeled at SLA/CCeH, cf. poster
 * Representation of the papers of Fernando Pessoa, see http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=tei-l;50923a39.1402

Child elements of &lt;line>
Some elements from other modules are not allowed as child elements of, e.g. , , , or. This can cause problems when one would like to encode the corresponding phenomena. Two types of workaround are possible: See the following discussions on TEI-L:
 * substitute the problematic element for a legal one, e.g. use instead of ;
 * wrap the problematic element in, e.g. ... . --Martin de la Iglesia 05:55, 4 November 2013 (EST)
