The ab element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any component-level elements in a text for which no other more specific appropriate markup is defined.

If abbreviations are expanded silently, this practice should be documented in the editorialDecl, either with a normalization element or a p.

This element is intended only for cases where no abstract is available in the original source. Any abstract already present in the source document should be encoded as a div within the front, as it should for a born-digital document.

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

In a diplomatic edition attempting to represent an original source, the add element should not be used for additions to the current TEI electronic edition made by editors or encoders. In these cases, either the corr or supplied element are recommended.

In a TEI edition of a historical text with previous editorial emendations in which such additions or reconstructions are considered part of the source text, the use of add may be appropriate, dependent on the editorial philosophy of the project.

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.

Using just the elements defined by the core module, an address could be represented as follows:

When a schema includes the names and dates module more specific elements such as country or settlement would be preferable over generic name:

 </sequence>
</content>

element address
{
   tei_att.global.attributes,
   ( tei_model.global*, ( tei_model.addrPart, tei_model.global* )+ )
}

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.

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

This example indicates that the person was affiliated with the Australian Journalists Association at some point between the date ranges listed.

This example indicates that the person was affiliated with Mount Holyoke College throughout the entire span of the date ranges listed.

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.
