| − | Yes, I think we should. How about the spot where the TEI Guidelines recommend putting the code for the classification of the text (in some scheme), <tt><classCode></tt> inside <tt><classDec></tt>, or is that too much of a stretch? (—[[User:Syd|Syd]])

| |
| − | : During the call on 2/10/09, Syd said he no longer thinks use of <tt>classCode</tt> (and a corresponding <tt>classDecl</tt>) is a good idea. Instead, he suggested we createa new element, <tt>otherDesc</tt>, to contain elements from outside the TEI namespace for metadata not covered by the TEI header. The GBP could specify how this element is used. ([[User:Kshawkin|Kshawkin]])

| |
| − |
| |
| − | : A. What mechanism should we use to we point from the TEI header to metadata located outside the TEI document? (For example, how do you identify a MARC, METS, or MODS record that provides additional metadata about the TEI document and/or the source document?)

| − |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | <blockquote>Standardized file naming for a particular encoding project is key for reliable online storage and delivery of these files. Consider the following best practices when determining the file name scheme for your project:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Each filename should contain an identifier that uniquely specifies a single digital object within the parent collection (e.g., a parent collection of text, images and other related materials)
| |
| − | * Each filename should be fully specified. It should not just be a sequence number that is dependent on location within a directory structure for context
| |
| − | * Filenames should not include spaces
| |
| − | * Filenames should following a predicatble case constructions (e.g., all lowercase, camelCase, etc.)
| |
| − | * The first character of the filename should be an ASCII letter ('a' through 'z' or 'A' through 'Z') to comply with current restrictions on identifiers by many programming and metadata languages such as METS
| |
| − | * The "base" filename may include only ASCII letters ('a' through 'z' and 'A' through 'Z'), ASCII digits ('0' through '9'), hyphens, underscores, and periods. Refrain from using other characters and limit period usage to only once (to separate base name from file extensions).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For those saving files to CD-ROM for storage or file transfer, file naming should follow ISO 9660 conventions: 8-character filenames, 3-character extensions, using A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscores and hyphens.

Unnumbered is also preferred because designated levels to parts of a text may change from project to project or even book to book within the same project. The guidelines make allowances for both: unnumbered divisions using the @type to designate the level. For those who type more semantically and for those who need numbered divisions for more predictable processing how about we re-write the section thusly:</span>

| − | We recommend the use of unnumbered divisions throughout the electronic text with proper values inserted in the @type attribute. For those of you who require numbered divisions for software processing, populate the @ type attribute with a number, 1-7 (?), that corresponds to the appropriate level. For those of you who prefer a semantic label (e.g., chapter, section, etc.), determine a typology beforehand and designate the appropriate level in the @type attribute. The ability to do both is also possible if it is important to maintain an explicit connection between the numbered and unnumbered labels by using @ type and @subtype accordingly. However, a combination of numbered (e.g., <div1>) and unnumbered (e.g,, <div>) divisions is not supported.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Practically, this recommendation favors <div> above all others. For any other element, if you wanted to know “on what page did this occur”, you would ask the question “What is the value of n= of the most recent <pb> on the preceding:: axis?”. This works for <quote>s, <said>s, <lg>s, <head>s, etc. If page breaks are encoded where they lie, it works for <div>, too. If they are moved into the division as per this recommendation, then a different question has to be asked: “What is the value of n= of my first child <pb>?”. Neither question is difficult to ask. But how do you know which to ask? [[User:Syd|—Syd]]

| |
| − | ====OLD TEXT (cut from main article on 2/20/09)====
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =====Introduction?=====
| |
| − | <p>The TEI header may be used to describe a collection of documents, a single item, or a portion of an item. Variances in TEI header content can result from making different choices of what is being described. Within the library domain, a TEI header is often perceived as similar to or at least related to a MARC record. However, a TEI header does not typically have a one-to-one correspondence with a MARC record: one TEI header may be described by multiple MARC analytic records, or one MARC record may be used to describe a collection of TEI documents with individual headers.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =====Purpose=====
| |
| − | <p>A TEI header serves several purposes. It may contain an historical background on how the file has been treated. It can extend the information of a classic catalog record. The text center or cataloging agency can act as the gatekeeper for creators by providing standards for content. A TEI header can serve many publics: headers can be created in a text center and reflect the center's standards, or they can serve as the basis for other types of metadata system records produced by other agencies. Headers can function in detached form as records in a catalog, as a title page inherent to the document, or as a source for index displays.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =====Chief Sources of Information for Creating the TEI Header=====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>Does the TEI header act as the electronic title page for the encoded document (part of the item) or as a catalog record for it (pure metadata)? Is it integral to the document it describes or independent? Depending on the community being served, the TEI elements will reflect the interest of that community. Nonetheless, it is possible to describe a set of "best practices" that will produce compatible content while accommodating this variety of purposes. Compatibility of content encourages a more understandable set of results when information about assorted items is displayed as a set of search results, a contents list, or an index, and it allows for more reasonable conversion of content information from TEI elements to elements of other metadata sets when this action seems advisable.</p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>It is a traditional practice of librarianship to agree upon which location(s) in a document and in what order of preference one should look to identify the title, author, etc., of that document. This practice permits a certain consistency in terminology and allows for a certain amount of authentication of content. We recommend the following preferences to those who create headers and to those who attempt to use headers to create traditional catalog records that are compliant with AACR2 [http://www.aacr2.org/ Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 2nd Edition] and ISBD(ER) [http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/pubs/isbd.htm International Standard Bibliographic Description for Electronic Resources] rules.</p>

| − | <p>As a member of the academic community, the header creator or editor has a responsibility to verify, whenever humanly possible, the intellectual source for an electronic document that presents itself without any information regarding its source or authorship.</p>
