esp xs:string optional This attribute, whose name is short for
"responsible party", may be coded on any
element to identify the party primarily
responsible for that element and its content. For
example, it might identify a member of a
translation team; or on a note, it might identify
the author of the note. Each distinct responsible
party must be identified by the same value of
this attribute wherever they <strong>are</strong> identified at all
(that is, it is not permitted to use their initials
sometimes, their last names other times, etc.). A
list of responsible parties should be provided in
the front matter or in the header.
type xs:string
(several
element types
restrict the
values, as listed
below).
optional The type attribute allows encoders to identify
more precise distinctions within the borad
applicability of any given element. For example,
the div (division) element has many subtypes,
such as bookGroup, concordance, dedication,
glossary, etc. Many other element types also
have pre-defined values provided for the type
attribute. Some but not all of those element types
also permit users to add their own values, so
long as they begin with "x-". When a predefined
type is applicable, it must be used instead of
creating a new type.
subType xs:string optional In the r<strong>are</strong> event that the type attribute does not
provide a fine-enough grained distinction of
element types, the sub-type attribute may be
used to make such distinctions. There <strong>are</strong>
generally no restrictions on the values permitted
for subType, except that the encoder should be
consistent, and should document the meaning of
any values used.
n xs:string optional This attribute is identical to the TEI n attribute,
and may be used to provide a name or number to
identify the particular element instance.
However, it should not be used to encode a value
for which the osisID, osisRef, or ____ attribute
is applicable.
xml:lang xs:language optional This attribute is defined by the XML standard
itself, and identifies the primary natural
language of the content of an element. The value
of this attribute is inherited; that is, any
contained elements <strong>are</strong> presumed to be in the
same language, unless they override it by
