element abbr { macro.phraseSeq }

The abbr tag is not required; if appropriate, the encoder may transcribe abbreviations in the source text silently, without tagging them. If abbreviations are not transcribed directly but expanded silently, then the TEI header should so indicate.

element accMat
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.typed.attributes,
   macro.specialPara
}

element acquisition
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.datable.attributes,
   macro.specialPara
}

element actor { att.global.attributes, macro.phraseSeq }

This element should be used only to mark the name of the actor as given in the source. Chapter 13. discusses ways of marking the components of names, and also of associating names with biographical information about a person.

element additional
{
   att.global.attributes,
   ( adminInfo?, surrogates?, listBibl? )
}

element additions { att.global.attributes, macro.specialPara }

element addName
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.personal.attributes,
   att.typed.attributes,
   macro.phraseSeq
}

element address
{
   att.global.attributes,
   ( model.global*, ( ( model.addrPart ), model.global* )+ )
}

This element should be used for postal addresses only. Within it, the generic element addrLine may be used as an alternative to any of the more specialized elements available from the model.addrPart class, such as <street>, <postCode> etc.

element addrLine { att.global.attributes, macro.phraseSeq }

Addresses may be encoded either as a sequence of lines, or using any sequence of component elements from the model.addrPart class. Other non-postal forms of address, such as telephone numbers or email, should not be included within an address element directly but may be wrapped within an addrLine if they form part of the printed address in some source text.

element addSpan
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.transcriptional.attributes,
   att.placement.attributes,
   att.typed.attributes,
   att.spanning.attributes,
   empty
}

Both the beginning and the end of the added material must be marked; the beginning by the addSpan element itself, the end by the spanTo attribute.

element adminInfo
{
   att.global.attributes,
   ( recordHist?, availability?, custodialHist?, model.noteLike? )
}

element affiliation
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.editLike.attributes,
   att.datable.attributes,
   att.naming.attributes,
   macro.phraseSeq
}

If included, the name of an organization may be tagged using either the <name> element as above, or the more specific orgName element.

element age
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.editLike.attributes,
   att.datable.attributes,
   attribute value { data.count }?,
   macro.phraseSeq.limited
}

As with other culturally-constructed traits such as sex, the way in which this concept is described in different cultural contexts may vary. The normalizing attributes are provided as a means of simplifying that variety to Western European norms and should not be used where that is inappropriate. The content of the element may be used to describe the intended concept in more detail, using plain text.

element altIdentifier
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.typed.attributes,
   (
      model.placeNamePart_sequenceOptional,
      institution?,
      repository?,
      collection?,
      idno,
      note?
   )
}

An identifying number of some kind must be supplied if known; if it is not known, this should be stated.

element anchor
{
   att.global.attribute.n,
   att.global.attribute.xmllang,
   att.global.attribute.style,
   att.global.attribute.xmlspace,
   att.global.linking.attribute.corresp,
   att.global.linking.attribute.synch,
   att.global.linking.attribute.sameAs,
   att.global.linking.attribute.copyOf,
   att.global.linking.attribute.next,
   att.global.linking.attribute.prev,
   att.global.linking.attribute.exclude,
   att.global.linking.attribute.select,
   att.global.analytic.attribute.ana,
   att.global.facs.attribute.facs,
   att.global.change.attribute.change,
   attribute xml:id { xsd:ID },
   empty
}

On this element, the global xml:id attribute must be supplied to specify an identifier for the point at which this element occurs within a document. The value used may be chosen freely provided that it is unique within the document and is a syntactically valid name. There is no requirement for values containing numbers to be in sequence.

element app
{
   att.global.attributes,
   attribute type { data.enumerated }?,
   attribute from { data.pointer }?,
   attribute to { data.pointer }?,
   attribute loc { list { data.word+ } }?,
   (
      model.global*,
      ( lem, model.global*, ( wit, model.global* )? )?,
      (
         ( model.rdgLike, model.global*, ( wit, model.global* )? )
       | ( rdgGrp, model.global*, ( wit, model.global* )? )
      )*
   )
}

element author
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.naming.attributes,
   macro.phraseSeq
}

Particularly where cataloguing is likely to be based on the content of the header, it is advisable to use a generally recognized name authority file to supply the content for this element. The attributes key or ref may also be used to reference canonical information about the author(s) intended from any appropriate authority, such as a library catalogue or online resource.

In the case of a broadcast, use this element for the name of the company or network responsible for making the broadcast.

Where an author is unknown or unspecified, this element may contain text such as Unknown or Anonymous. When the appropriate TEI modules are in use, it may also contain detailed tagging of the names used for people, organizations or places, in particular where multiple names are given.

element authority { att.global.attributes, macro.phraseSeq.limited }

element availability
{
   att.global.attributes,
   att.declarable.attributes,
   attribute status { "free" | "unknown" | "restricted" }?,
   ( model.availabilityPart | model.pLike )+
}

A consistent format should be adopted

element back
{
   att.global.attributes,
   (
      ( model.frontPart | model.pLike.front | model.global )*,
      (
         (
            (
               ( model.div1Like ),
               ( model.frontPart | model.div1Like | model.global )*
            )
          | (
               ( model.divLike ),
               ( model.frontPart | model.divLike | model.global )*
            )
         )?
      ),
      ( ( ( model.divBottomPart ), ( model.divBottomPart | model.global )* )? )
   )
}

The content model of back matter is identical to that of front matter, reflecting the facts of cultural history.

element bibl

   att.global.attributes,
   att.declarable.attributes,
   att.typed.attributes,
   att.sortable.attributes,
   att.docStatus.attributes,
