Legacy Facsimile Markup

This page includes some examples of different approaches for facsimile (image-based) markup.

Past TEI Recommendations: Draft Recommendations for TEI Digital Facsimiles

http://users.ox.ac.uk/~lou/wip/digfax.html

This document, authored by Richard Gartner and Lou Burnard and last updated in 2001, outlines ways to use TEI to represent three types of digital objects:

  • complete digital transcriptions of the content of manuscript or print originals (possibly including illustrations as well as text)
  • collections of digitized page images (digital facsimiles) intended for use as surrogates for complete manuscript or print originals
  • digital objects (digital editions) combining both page facsimiles and transcriptions, possibly also including layers of editorial annotation

The authors attempt to address these areas of concern:

  • the need to distinguish images of a manuscript or print source from images located within it;
  • the need to support multiple formats of a single image;
  • the need to associate metadata at different levels (e.g. collection level, item level);
  • the need to associate transcription and facsimile in a standard way;
  • the need to define practices which can be used equally well in both SGML and XML environments;
  • the desire to avoid special purpose rules which assume nonstandard or ad hoc processing rules.
