great verbosity. In PAROLE-DK, this information instead is virtually part
of the assuming that the distributor is always the
same as the organization responsible for data capture (and is the sponsor).
Here, it is assumed that the sponsor, the collector, and the distributor are
of central importance and that it cannot be taken for granted that these
decisive roles are played by one organization only. However, it is assumed
that these roles are fully sufficient to describe the institutional background
of a potential corpus text. Additional roles may come into play for a whole
corpus or text collection and must be part of the headers of these resources.
OBS! Author and editor information for the source from which a text is
derived (e.g. the author of a book) is not included in the element
but in the element discussed below in Section 3.2.1.5.
3.2.1.2 The extent statement
The element is used in each text header to specify the size of the
text to which it is attached. The size is given as the number of words in the
element, the n attribute is set to “words”. In another element
with the n attribute set to “paragraphs” the number of paragraphs is stated. 8
Other elements measuring extent in other units may be added, but
must be registered as part of the legal inventory described in Section 3.3:
numberOfWords
numberOfParagraphs
The count given does not include the size of the header itself. The number
of words and paragraphs must be mechanically computed prior to insertion
of the text into the text bank.
3.2.1.3 The publication statement
Theelement is used to specify publication and availability
information for an electronic text. It contains the following three elements:
supplies the name of a person or agency responsible for
the distribution of a text.
supplies information about the availability of a text, for
example any restrictions on its use or distribution, its copyright status,
etc.
8 This is a necessary extent information particularly for texts which are to be included in
parallel corpora.
