The version of the TEI scheme contains a single text of any kind, whether unitary or composite, for example a poem or drama, a collection of essays, a novel, a dictionary, or a corpus sample. (text body) contains the whole body of a single unitary text, excluding any front or back matter. contains the body of a composite text, grouping together a sequence of distinct texts (or groups of such texts) which are regarded as a unit for some purpose, for example the collected works of an author, a sequence of prose essays, etc. (text division) contains a subdivision of the front, body, or back of a text. contains a closing title or footer appearing at the end of a division of a text. contains the primary statement of responsibility given for a work on its title page or at the head or end of the work. contains a brief description of the place, date, time, etc. of production of a letter, newspaper story, or other work, prefixed or suffixed to it as a kind of heading or trailer. A formal list or prose description of the topics addressed by a subdivision of a text. contains a quotation, anonymous or attributed, appearing at the start of a section or chapter, or on a title page. groups together dateline, byline, salutation, and similar phrases appearing as a preliminary group at the start of a division, especially of a letter. groups together salutations, datelines, and similar phrases appearing as a final group at the end of a division, especially of a letter. (salutation) contains a salutation or greeting prefixed to a foreword, dedicatory epistle, or other division of a text, or the salutation in the closing of a letter, preface, etc. (signature) contains the closing salutation, etc., appended to a foreword, dedicatory epistle, or other division of a text. contains a postscript, e.g. to a letter. (title page) contains the title page of a text, appearing within the front or back matter. classifies the title page according to any convenient typology. (document title) contains the title of a document, including all its constituents, as given on a title page. contains a subsection or division of the title of a work, as indicated on a title page. specifies the role of this subdivision of the title. Suggested values include: 1] main; 2] sub (subordinate); 3] alt (alternate); 4] short; 5] desc (descriptive) main title of the work (subordinate) subtitle of the work (alternate) alternative title of the work abbreviated form of title (descriptive) descriptive paraphrase of the work (document author) contains the name of the author of the document, as given on the title page (often but not always contained in a byline). contains a formal statement authorizing the publication of a work, sometimes required to appear on a title page or its verso. (document edition) contains an edition statement as presented on a title page of a document. (document imprint) contains the imprint statement (place and date of publication, publisher name), as given (usually) at the foot of a title page. (document date) contains the date of a document, as given (usually) on a title page. gives the value of the date in standard form, i.e. YYYY-MM-DD. (front matter) contains any prefatory matter (headers, title page, prefaces, dedications, etc.) found at the start of a document, before the main body. (back matter) contains any appendixes, etc. following the main part of a text. (metrical structure, conventional) contains a user-specified encoding for the conventional metrical structure of the element. (metrical structure, realized) contains a user-specified encoding for the actual realization of the conventional metrical structure applicable to the element. (rhyme scheme) specifies the rhyme scheme applicable to a group of verse lines. (enjambement) indicates that the end of a verse line is marked by enjambement. Sample values include: 1] no; 2] yes; 3] weak; 4] strong marks the point at which a metrical line may be divided. marks the rhyming part of a metrical line. provides a label to identify which part of a rhyme scheme this rhyming string instantiates. (anchor point) attaches an identifier to a point within a text, whether or not it corresponds with a textual element. (corresponds) points to elements that correspond to the current element in some way. (synchronous) points to elements that are synchronous with the current element. points to an element that is the same as the current element. points to an element of which the current element is a copy. points to the next element of a virtual aggregate of which the current element is part. (previous) points to the previous element of a virtual aggregate of which the current element is part. points to elements that are in exclusive alternation with the current element. selects one or more alternants; if one alternant is selected, the ambiguity or uncertainty is marked as resolved. If more than one alternant is selected, the degree of ambiguity or uncertainty is marked as reduced by the number of alternants not selected. categorizes the pointer in some respect, using any convenient set of categories. specifies the intended meaning when the target of a pointer is itself a pointer. if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then the target of that pointer will be taken, and so on, until an element is found which is not a pointer. if the element pointed to is itself a pointer, then its target (whether a pointer or not) is taken as the target of this pointer. no further evaluation of targets is carried out beyond that needed to find the element specified in the pointer's target. (s-unit) contains a sentence-like division of a text. (word) represents a grammatical (not necessarily orthographic) word. provides a lemma for the word, such as an uninflected dictionary entry form. provides a pointer to a definition for the root form of this word form. (analysis) indicates one or more elements containing interpretations of the element on which the ana attribute appears. (morpheme) represents a grammatical morpheme. identifies the morpheme's base form. (character) represents a character. characterizes the type of segment. (analysis) indicates one or more elements containing interpretations of the element on which the ana attribute appears. (facsimile) points to all or part of an image which corresponds with the content of the element. (added span of text) marks the beginning of a longer sequence of text added by an author, scribe, annotator or corrector (see also add). (deleted span of text) marks the beginning of a longer sequence of text deleted, marked as deleted, or otherwise signaled as superfluous or spurious by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector. contains one or more handNote elements documenting the different hands identified within the source texts. (feature structure declaration) declares one type of feature structure. gives a name for the type of feature structure being declared. gives the name of one or more typed feature structures from which this type inherits feature specifications and constraints; if this type includes a feature specification with the same name as that of any of those specified by this attribute, or if more than one specification of the same name is inherited, then the set of possible values is defined by unification. Similarly, the set of constraints applicable is derived by combining those specified explicitly within this element with those implied by the baseTypes attribute. When no baseTypes attribute is specified, no feature specification or constraint is inherited. (feature system description (in FSD)) describes in prose what is represented by the type of feature structure declared in the enclosing fsDecl. (feature structure) represents a feature structure, that is, a collection of feature-value pairs organized as a structural unit. specifies the type of the feature structure. (features) references the feature-value specifications making up this feature structure. (feature) represents a feature value specification, that is, the association of a name with a value of any of several different types. provides a name for the feature. (feature value) references any element which can be used to represent the value of a feature. (symbolic value) represents the value part of a feature-value specification which contains one of a finite list of symbols. supplies the symbolic value for the feature, one of a finite list that may be specified in a feature declaration. (feature library) assembles a library of feature elements.
