LEMDO TEI files are categorized along many different vectors:

These taxonomies (along with others) are defined in the TAXO1.xml taxonomies file, and incorporated from there into the project schema. Then every TEI document is assigned a number of <catRef> elements in its <teiHeader> : This example specifies that the text is a modern spelling version of a play, and its original digital source was an IML file from the Internet Shakespeare Editions repository. Many of these categories are assigned automatically when files are converted, but encoders are expected to check that they are correct and add any new categories required. If <catRef> values are incorrect or missing, a document may not render correctly, or the wrong Schematron rules may be triggered.

For full details of all LEMDOʼs taxonomies, look at the Taxonomies page.

All documents in LEMDO are either born-digital documents or primary documents. Within those two general categories, LEMDO offers additional ways to categorize a file.

Born-digital documents in an edition include: annotations, critical paratexts, bibliographies, the edition landing page, and XML files containing instructions for generating the print output. Born-digital documents in LEMDO-dev include documentation pages, landing pages, databases, and programmatically generated pages. Born-digital files in an anthology include pedagogy pages, landing pages, about pages (i.e., about the project/anthology), history pages (e.g., history of a playing company), and information pages (e.g., copyright, citatation).

Primary documents in an edition include: facsimiles, semi-diplomatic text(s), collations, primary paratexts (commendatory poems, prefatory matter, addresses to the reader, alternate prologues), and modern text(s). LEMDO-dev does not have primary pages. An anthology might have primary documents that are not in an edition, if the anthology chooses to present contextual documents relevant to the entire anthology (e.g., a lease for a playhouse).

Every XML file must have a document type indicated in its <teiHeader> . Capture this information via the <catRef> element. The value of @scheme is tax:emdDocumentTypes. The value of the @target attribute is the relevant category within the Document Type Taxonomy. This example indicates that the file has the document type category cat:ldtPrimaryText.

¶ Primary

@xml:id	Name	Description
ldtPrimaryText	Primary Source Text	Edited primary source texts. Modernized texts and semi-diplomatic texts must have this value. Not to be used for supplementary texts.
ldtPrimaryFacsimile	Facsimile	Files with <facsimile> pointing to digital surrogates.
ldtPrimaryParatext	Primary Paratext	Dedications, addresses, commendatory poems, and other primary source paratexts. Do not use for EMDP. Use lpt values instead.
ldtTest	Test	Test-only document.

LEMDOʼs work type taxonomy allows us to capture the genre of our primary documents. The work type triggers certain types of processing. The current list of work types is short: play, poetry, prose, and mayoral show, and dramatic paratext. We are open to adding new types as required for new anthologies.

Only documents that have the document type of primary (i.e., that have a value of ldtPrimaryText) can have a work type. Capture this information via the <catRef> element. The value of @scheme is tax:emdWorkTypes. The value of the @target attribute is the relevant category within the Work Type Taxonomy. In the following example, note that the file has the document type primary and the work type play.

¶ Work Types

@xml:id	Name	Description
lwtPlay	Play	Dramatic text, semi-diplomatic or modernized.
lwtPoetry	Poetry	Work which is primarily non-dramatic poetry.
lwtProse	Prose	Work which is primarily prose.
lwtShow	Mayoral Show	Mayoral show, semi-diplomatic or modernized.
lwtPara	Dramatic Paratext	Dramatic paratext transcribed for EMDP.

LEMDOʼs print book format taxonomy allows us to capture the book format of the sources we transcribe in the semi-diplomatic texts. The book format type triggers certain types of processing as well. The current list of book formats types is short: broadside, folio, quarto, and octavo. We are open to adding new types as required for new anthologies.

Only documents that have the document type value of ldtPrimary (or a subordinate primary document type such as ldtPrimaryText) and editorial treatment type of letSemiDiplomatic can have a book format type. Capture this information via the <catRef> element. The value of @scheme is tax:emdBookFormats. The value of the @target attribute is the relevant category within the Book Format Taxonomy.

¶ Book Formats

@xml:id	Name	Description
lbfBroadside	Broadside	Large sheet printed on one side only.
lbfFolio	Folio	Print volume constructed from sheets folded once.
lbfQuarto	Quarto	Print volume constructed from sheets folded twice.
lbfOctavo	Octavo	Print volume constructed from sheets folded three times.
lbfManuscript	Manuscript	Manuscript.
lbfDuodecimo	Duodecimo	Duodecimo.

LEMDOʼs editorial treatment taxonomy allows us to indicate the general editorial treatment the editor has applied to the text. The editorial treatment type triggers certain types of processing as well. For example, some elements (e.g., <pb> , <fw> ) are allowed in texts given semi-diplomatic editorial treatment but not allowed in texts given modernized editorial treatment. The current list of editorial treatments is short: semi-diplomatic, modern, excerpted, and mixed.

Note that LEMDO created the mixed editorial treatment category (letMixed) to deal with legacy supplementary texts. New texts prepared on the LEMDO platform are not allowed to have this editorial treatment. If anthologies choose to allow supplementary texts in an edition, editors must follow either the modern editorial and encoding guidelines or the semi-diplomatic editorial and encoding guidelines. Unless there is some value in retaining semi-diplomatic (e.g., an excerpt from The Faerie Queene, in which spelling is semantically significant), supplementary texts should be modernized because their primary purpose is pedagogical. Most supplementary texts will also be excerpts, which means they will have the additional editorial treatment type of letExcerpted.

Only documents that have the document type value of ldtPrimary (or a subordinate primary document type such as ldtPrimaryText) can have an editorial treatment type. Capture this information via the <catRef> element. The value of @scheme is tax:emdEditorialTreatments. The value of the @target attribute is the relevant category within the Editorial Treatment Taxonomy.

A modern-spelling edition of a play would have the following <catRef> elements:

¶ Editorial Treatments

@xml:id	Name	Description
letSemiDiplomatic	Semi-diplomatic transcription	Texts in which original spelling and other features have been retained.
letModernized	Modernized	Texts that have been modernized according to a set of editorial principles.
letExcerpted	Excerpted	Texts which are not complete, usually because of editorial selection in service of a specific goal.
letMixed	Mixed	Texts in which a variety of possibly incongruous editorial approaches have been mixed. Use this category in combination with ldtPrimary.

LEMDOʼs document history taxonomy allows us to indicate the history of a document in cases where we have converted a file from some other source for use in the LEMDO ecosystem. The current list of document history types is short: IML (anything we converted from the ISE Markup Language), XWiki (anything we converted from XWiki, either directly from XWiki files before the server failed or from staticized web pages of XWiki output), TCP (anything we converted to LEMDO TEI P5 from EEBO-TCPʼs TEI P4), MoEML (semi-diplomatic texts of mayoral shows for the MoMS anthology), and SQL (anything we created from an SQL database).

Such converted files also undergo lengthy remediation. You will also use the @status attribute on the <revisionDesc> element to track the progress of the remediation. See Document Status Taxonomy.

Only documents that have been converted and have a prior history in some other markup language have a document history type. Capture this information via the <catRef> element. The value of @scheme is tax:emdDocumentHist. The value of the @target attribute is the relevant category within the Document History Taxonomy.

The following example gives the various <catRef> elements for the modernized text of a play that was first prepared in IML for the old ISE platform:

¶ Document History Values

@xml:id	Name	Description
edhSourceIML	Original Source: IML	This TEI file was created based on one or more files from the Internet Shakespeare Editions anthology, originally encoded in ISE Markup Language (a custom markup language somewhat resembling SGML).
edhSourceXWiki	Original Source: XWiki	This TEI file was created based on one or more supplementary files from the Internet Shakespeare Editions anthology, originally encoded in HTML and stored in the ISEʼs XWiki system.
edhSourceTCP	Original Source: TCP	This TEI file was created based on an original encoding from the Text Creation Partnership.
edhSourceMoEML	Original Source: MoEML	This TEI file was created based on an original encoding from The Map of Early Modern London.
edhSourceSQL	Original Source: SQL Database	This TEI file was created from data originally captured in a SQL database structure.

LEMDOʼs audience taxonomy allows us to indicate the readership we have in mind when we write documentation. The current list of imagined audiences is short: remediators, encoders, editors, anthology leads, developers, repository users, and documenters. Each of these audiences (except for Documenters) also has a Quickstart page.

Audience types can be applied to the root element of a documentation file, i.e., the root <div> element or any child <div> element. We do not apply the audience types to more deeply nested <div> elements.

¶ Audience Types

@xml:id	Name	Description
audRemediator	Remediator	An encoder who has the responsibility of converting IML-encoded or TCP texts to the LEMDO TEI P5 customization.
audEncoder	Encoder	Anyone who is encoding texts in the LEMDO TEI P5 customization.
audEditor	Editor	Anyone who is editing a play or related works for publication in a LEMDO anthology.
audAnthologyLead	Anthology Lead	Anyone who is responsible for a group of editors who are editing plays or related works for publication in a LEMDO-generated anthology (e.g., the leads of MoMS, QME, DRE, NISE).
audDeveloper	Developer	Anyone who is responsible for maintaining the repository, writing processing, running builds, or customizing a CSS file for an anthology. Normally, developers are based at UVic and work in the lemdo/code section of the repository. Anthology leads may hire a developer/designer to customize a CSS file for an anthology.
audRepoUser	Repository User	Anyone who commits work to the LEMDO repository, including editors and RAs who have write privileges on an edition portfolio.
audDocumenter	Documenter	Anyone who writes project documentation.

LEMDOʼs document status taxonomy allows us to track the progress of a file from creation to publication. For converted files, the values allows us to track the progress of the remediation. The document status value triggers different aspects of the schema. For example, a document with the @status value of IML-TEI will not trigger most of the schema and Schematron errors. The schema and Schematron kick in only when you changed the @status to IML-TEI_INP. This feature of LEMDO ensures that the files we commit, regardless of their state of remediation or completion, are always valid according to the set of rules that we apply.

Although it may seem redundant, we capture the status in two places whenever the status changes: The reason we have adopted this approach is that it allows us to keep track of the date of all the status changes. Ultimately, we are most interested in the date of publication so that future users can cite the page by its publication date.

A born-LEMDO file will normally go through the following status changes:

A file that was converted from EEBO-TCP will normally go through the following status changes:

A file that was converted from IML will go through the following status changes:

In the example below, we show how we tracked the status of the conversion and remediation of the modern text of Famous Victories in the <revisionDesc> of emdFV_M. We know that the file was peer reviewed before 2018, when the ISE server failed. Joey Takeda ran the conversion on 2018-07-11. Tracey El Hajj started to remediate the file on 2020-07-10, work that took some time. Janelle Jenstad proofed the file on 2020-12-03. On 2020-12-21, the file was published. The status of the file on the <revisionDesc> would have changed on each of those dates. Since <revisionDesc> shows only the most recent status, the @status attribute on the <change> elements allows us to keep a history of the status changes.

Note that you can switch your document from IML-TEI_INP back to IML-TEI if you have not been able to achieve a fully valid document before you need to commit your file and end your work session for the day. As long as the file is valid with the @status of IML-TEI, you may commit it.

Note on @status published and peerReviewed: LEMDO has anticipated that some parts of editions may be published before undergoing peer review and that some parts of an edition may never undergo peer review (e.g., supplementary materials). LEMDOʼs system is designed so that you can have a file published first and peer reviewed later, or vice versa. The date of publication and the date of peer review will be taken from the @when attribute on the <change> element. The final status of the document can be either peerReviewed or published without implying anything about peer review or publication status.

Note on @status draft: This status is for born-digital documents (i.e., documents with <catDesc> of ldtBornDig (or subordinate categories).

Note on @status empty: Do not use this value. We have a handful of empty files left over from the batch conversion of IML files to TEI, to which we have given the status empty to help us find them. Once we have added the content from other sources, we will deprecate this status. Normally, there is no good reason to create an empty file. Most of the time, you will have at least some content to add right away or a template in place. Consult with the LEMDO team at UVic if you do want to create an empty file.

¶ Document Status Values

@xml:id	Name	Description
prgGenerated	Programmatically Generated	Files that are programmatically generated using xslt. Most such files are documentation or apparatus files.
published	Published	Files that have been published.

The transcription is only as correct as the underlying TCP transcription (which contains gaps, errors, and normalized long “s” characters). The TCP metadata is retained. This category is only for documents that also have the document type ldt:primary (but not ldt:primaryModern).
TCP-TEI_INP	TCP to TEI In Progress	The text has been programmatically converted from TCP TEI P4 to LEMDO TEI (P5) via a series of transformations. The file is in the process of being carefully corrected, remediated, and proofed by a LEMDO Research Assistant. The file is a .xml file. This category is only for documents that also have the document type ldt:primary.
TCP-TEI_proofing	TCP-to-TEI Ready for Proofing	The fully remediated file is ready for proofing or in the process of being proofed by a LEMDO research assistant, editor, or anthology lead.
TCP-TEI_proofed	TCP to TEI Proofed	This semi-diplomatic text has been programmatically converted from TCP TEI P4 to LEMDO TEI (P5) via a series of transformations and carefully corrected, remediated, and proofed by a LEMDO Research Assistant. The file is a .xml file. The transcription has been corrected; gaps have been supplied; the long s has been restored. The TEI tagging has been checked and corrected by a LEMDO RA. This category is only for documents that also have the document type ldt:primary.
TEI_INP	TEI in Progress	The text is being encoded in TEI.
TEI_collating	TEI Collation in Progress	A modernized text has been created from other sources, but has not yet been remediated to fix e.g. capitalization issues or speech prefixes.
TEI_proofing	TEI Ready for Proofing	The fully remediated file is ready for proofing or in the process of being proofed by a LEMDO research assistant, editor, or anthology lead.
TEI_proofed	TEI Proofed	The text is finished in TEI and proofed.

Because LEMDO is committed to the Collaboratorsʼ Bill of Rights and the Student Collaboratorsʼ Bill of Rights (see ), we have an extensive taxonomy of responsibilities that allow you to give credit in specific ways to everyone who contributed in any way to a file. We use the same method to give credit to the early modern authors and printers.

We have used the Library of Congress MARC Code List for Relators (marcrelators) taxonomy as much as possible. See https://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/relaterm.html. The LoC has occasionally added marcrelators at our request (e.g., mrk was a new addition to capture the role of the encoder or markup editor). In other cases, where there is no marcrelator for the responsibility we need to capture, we have created a value of our using the same principle of three letters representing an abbreviation of the full role name.

We give credit via a <respStmt> in the <titleStmt> of the <teiHeader> . You need the name and xml:id of the person responsible. You need the value that best describes their role from the responsibility taxonomy. Finally, you need a phrase for the text node of the <resp> element.

In this example, we indicate that a play is by Thomas Heywood:

In this example, we give credit to Hannah King, a student who encoded a transcription:

Note on the text node of the <resp> element: This is a free text field. LEMDO encourages anthologies to develop their own standardized wording for different types of work but does not currently have any Diagnostics to ensure consistency across an anthology.

¶ Responsibility Values

@xml:id	Name	Description
aut	Author	A person, family, or organization responsible for creating a work that is primarily textual in content, regardless of media type (e.g., printed text, spoken word, electronic text, tactile text) or genre (e.g., poems, novels, screenplays, blogs). Use also for persons, etc., creating a new work by paraphrasing, rewriting, or adapting works by another creator such that the modification has substantially changed the nature and content of the original or changed the medium of expression. LEMDO uses the term author in two contexts: (1) to indicate the author of a primary work or document (such as Hamlet), and (2) to indicate the author of a secondary text (such as the Critical Introduction to Hamlet, by David Bevington).
aut_attrib	Supposed Author	An author, artist, etc., relating them to a resource for which there is or once was substantial authority for designating that person as author, creator, etc. of the work.
bsl	Bookseller	A person or organization who makes books and other bibliographic materials available for purchase. Interest in the materials is primarily lucrative. LEMDO uses the term bookseller only in the metadata for publications and copies. In cases where a publication was issued with variant title pages, list all booksellers in all variant states of the title page.
csl	Consultant	A person or organization relevant to a resource, who is called upon for professional advice or services in a specialized field of knowledge or training. Consultant or Technical Advisor: A person who is called upon for professional advice during the editorial and/or encoding processes. Give a person a credit in the edition page if their role is more than one would list in the Acknowledgements page. LEMDO uses this value for a Technical Advisor who provides training, answers questions, and advises on encoding matters.
edt	Editor	A person, family, or organization contributing to a resource by revising or elucidating the content, e.g., adding an introduction, notes, or other critical matter. An editor may also prepare a resource for production, publication, or distribution. For major revisions, adaptations, etc., that substantially change the nature and content of the original work, resulting in a new work, see author. LEMDO uses the general term editor only in edition metadata and only to indicate when a person is responsible for editing all parts of an edition. Otherwise, use the more granular terms to describe the precise nature of the editorial role.
edt_asstcoord	Assistant Coordinating Editor	The term assistant coordinating editor appears in the metadata for documents produced before 2017. From 2017 on, this term is reserved for project-level credits.
edt_assoccoord	Associate Coordinating Editor	Gloss needed.
edt_assoctext	Associate Textual Editor	Gloss needed.
cont	Generic Contributor	Do not use: This is a generic contributor for which it is impossible to determine a more precise role for this person. All generic contributors should be replaced by a more specific value.
edt_cont	Contributing Editor	Gloss needed.
edt_sup	Supervising Editor	An editor who supervises the work of a student editor.
edt_coord	Coordinating Editor	Some anthologies have one or more Coordinating Editor. Use this value in responsibility statements on an edition title. Normally, anthologies should not list Coordinating Editors or General Editors on every XML file in an edition.
edt_cpy	Copy Editor	LEMDO uses the term owner for the person who checks facts, quotations, and citations; may make formatting changes; may convert from one citation style to another; may suggest wording changes; and enforces conformity with the project style guide.
edt_gen	General Editor	Gloss needed.
edt_gentext	General Textual Editor	Gloss needed.
edt_genperf	General Editor (Performance)	A person responsible for the performance strategy and methodology of a project.

edm	Video Editor	A person, family, or organization responsible for assembling, arranging, and trimming film, video, or other moving image formats, including both visual and audio aspects. Gloss needed.
pbd	Anthology Lead	A person or organization who presides over the elaboration of a collective work to ensure its coherence or continuity. This includes editors-in-chief, literary editors, editors of series, etc. A person who presides over the creation of an anthology on the LEMDO platform, a role that includes commissioning editions, approving proposals, supporting editors, arranging for peer review, and liaising with the LEMDO Platform Team.
ptr	Printer	A person, family, or organization involved in manufacturing a manifestation of printed text, notated music, etc., from type or plates, such as a book, newspaper, magazine, broadside, score, etc. Gloss needed.
rtm_ra	Editorial Research Assistant	A person who participated in a research project but whose role did not involve direction or management of it Legacy term. Use rtm or appropriate role from 2017 on.
rtm	Research Team Member	A person who participated in a research project but whose role did not involve direction or management of it. Gloss needed.
scr	Scribe	A person who is an amanuensis and for a writer of manuscripts proper. Gloss needed.
trl	Translator	A person or organization who renders a text from one language into another, or from an older form of a language into the modern form. Gloss needed.
pdr	Project Director	A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. LEMDO uses the term project director for the person who directs the LEMDO project. For anthology leads, use pbd.
drt	Director	A person responsible for the general management and supervision of a filmed performance, a radio or television program, etc. LEMDO uses the term director for the person who manages or supervises a performance. We do not use it for project level directors.
pfr	Proofreader	A person who corrects printed matter. LEMDO uses the term proofreader for the person who performs minor corrections to a finalized document, which usually include typographical or rendering fixes. For copy-editing, use resp:edt_cpy.
own	Owner	A person, family, or organization that currently owns an item or collection, i.e., has legal possession of a resource. LEMDO uses the term owner for the person, family, or library that owns the physical copy of an artifact reproduced in facsimile on the platform. The owner is often but not necessarily the copyright holder.
vet	Peer Reviewer	LEMDO uses the term peer reviewer for a person who reviews a transcription, critical materials, dataset, and/or some or all components of an edition.
cph	Copyright Holder	A person or organization to whom copy and legal rights have been granted or transferred for the intellectual content of a work. The copyright holder, although not necessarily the creator of the work, usually has the exclusive right to benefit financially from the sale and use of the work to which the associated copyright protection applies. Normally the editor is the copyright holder for an LEMDO edition.
edt_comp	Compiler	A person, family, or organization responsible for creating a new work (e.g., a bibliography, a directory) through the act of compilation, e.g., selecting, arranging, aggregating, and editing data, information, etc. LEMDO uses the term compiler for the person who chooses and aggregates the resources included in an edition, if those resources are not all by the editor of the edition. The compiler and the editor may be the same person; in that case, the person needs two responsibility statements.
aut_ann	Author of Annotations	A person or organization responsible for the commentary or explanatory notes about a text. LEMDO uses the term author of annotations for a person who writes annotions for a text.
ann	Annotator	A person who makes manuscript annotations on an item.
aut_col	Collator	A person who compiles the vertical collations for a text.
anl	Analyst	A person or organization that reviews, examines, and interprets data or information in a specific area. Gloss needed.
prg	Programmer	A person, family, or organization responsible for creating a computer program. Gloss needed.
trc	Transcriber	A person, family, or organization contributing to a resource by changing it from one system of notation to another.
wtm	Technical Writer	Writer of Technical Material: A person responsible for writing or compiling documentation of the projectʼs editorial, encoding, and programming practices.

Part of LEMDOʼs long-term linking strategy is to create links to stable projects that offer URIs for their resources. For many projects, the identification number of a resource or catalogue entry forms the basis of the projectʼs URIs and ultimately URLs to which we can link. In TEI, we wrap identification numbers in the <idno> element. IDNOs that we like to capture include DEEP numbers, DOIs, ISBNs, STC numbers, GitHub numbers, and others.

To learn how to encode an <idno> element, see Links to Authority IDs and Practice: Link to Authorites and Surrogates.

LEMDO uses prefixes as a kind of shorthand across the project so that you do not have to type full pathways and URLs when you want to point to something inside or outside the project using a <ref> element. When we build an HTML page from your XML, we replace the prefix with the part of the URL that comes become the forward slash. So mol becomes “https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/”. Prefixes are always followed by a colon and then the unique identifier for the resource within the project to which we wish to point.

You will want to use this page in conjunction with Encode Reference Links.

A prefix is an abbreviation for the predictable part of a Uniform Resource Indicator (URI). A prefix allows us to point easily to unique resources (URIs) within a digital project (e.g., documents, entities, entries, sections of documents) without having to repeat the predictable part of the URI. For example, the Map of Early Modern London’s (MoEML’s) URIs all begin with https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/. We often point to MoEML resources from LEMDO editions. The full URI of those resources would clutter up our encoding. Instead, we use the prefix mol. The processing instructions in the LEMDO taxonomy turn mol into https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca when LEMDO’s static HTML pages are built from the underlying encoding. We use prefixes to point to heavily used resources in our own project, such as the Personography and Bibliography, as well as to a few stable resources outside our project. As long as a project has predictable URIs that are constructed of a stable path plus a unique ID, we can use prefixes and the unique ID to point directly to that resource. Our encoding is thus efficient and consistent: doc:lemdo_about yields a link to https://lemdo.uvic.ca/lemdo_about.html; mol:CHEA2 yields a link to https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/CHEA2.htm. This method of pointing is compatible with Linked Open Data applications and will help LEMDO connect its data to other datasets in the future.

LEMDOʼs placement taxonomy allows us to capture where something appears on the printed or manuscript page of the sources we transcribe in the semi-diplomatic texts.

These values may only be used in documents that have ldtPrimaryText and letSemiDiplomatic.

Note that some values may be used for both print and manuscript sources, some values may be used only for print sources, and some values may be used only for manuscript sources.

¶ Placement Values

@xml:id	Name	Description
plc-right	Right / Droite	A generic place value for anything to the right of the text or a figure, or on the right side of an otherwise empty line (in print) or space (in manuscript).
