Of the eight base tag sets, the WWP uses only four: prose, verse,
drama, and mixed. Among the additional tag sets, the WWP uses those
for linking (Chapter 14), transcription of primary sources (Chapter
18), specialized tagging of names and dates (Chapter 20), and a few
tags (chiefly <figure> and associated tags) from
Chapter 22 (Tables, Formulae, and Graphics). Our WWP-specific
modifications/additions to the TEI tagset are contained in the file
wwpstore.dtd (which stands for WWP Storage DTD).
The WWP also adds a number of non-ISO general character
entities. These are contained in the files wwpgrk1.ent and wwpspec.ent, which respectively stand for
WWP Greek entities and WWP Special entities. In addition, the WWP embeds
all the ISO entities. The over-arching file which embeds the ISO
character entities (and also invokes the Greek and the special
character entity files) is called wwpstore.ent. This file also takes care file
and parameter entity declarations and changes to the TEI DTD.
As mentioned above, all WWP DTD files are invoked via the file
wwpstore.dtd. Encoders need not worry
too much about all this, since they can invoke the DTD properly using
a public identifier, e.g.:
<!DOCTYPE TEI.2 PUBLIC "-//Brown University Women Writers Project//DTD WWP Textbase Storage DTD//EN">
wwpstore.ent, Actual Entity
file which embeds the other entity files.wwpgrk1.ent,
Actual Entity file, one of the two special character entity
files embedded by wwpstore.ent;
contains entities for ancient greek characters not found in
ISO.wwpspec.ent,
Actual Entity file, one of the two special character entity
files embedded by wwpstore.ent;
contains special entities invented by WWP that are not found
in ISO.
