The TEI Header:

A Tutorial with Examples

Introduction: What is the <teiHeader>?

You might wish to read or scan the TEI Guidelines (P4-online description of the <teiHeader>).

If not, let it suffice to quote the first paragraph from Chapter 5:

This chapter addresses the problems of describing an encoded work so that the text itself, its source, its encoding, and its revisions are all thoroughly documented. Such documentation is equally necessary for scholars using the texts, for software processing them, and for cataloguers in libraries and archives. Together these descriptions and declarations provide an electronic analogue to the title page attached to a printed work. They also constitute an equivalent for the content of the code books or introductory manuals customarily accompanying electronic data sets.

Thus we must include bibliographic information not only about ourselves and our Project, but about our source texts and the relationship of our transcriptions to those sources texts, including detailed descriptions of the exact nature of the source texts.

The main task when constructing the <teiHeader> is to fill in bibliographic information about the OT and its source text. This information is available in the FileMaker Pro Transcription Database (make sure you pick the TEI Header layout option).

The other main task is to include <revisionDesc> information which records information about what you and other WWP employees have done with or to the electronic text.

Please take the time to peruse the examples before doing any work on actual texts.

How to construct a <teiHeader>

Overview, with Blank Templates

Overview (Brief Explanation)

When you start encoding, you will open a template containing the barebones structure of the WWP-specific <teiHeader> information.

You will have to fill in data specific to your text into appropriate parts of the template. Some of the elements in the template contain text telling you how to fill in the data and where to obtain the information. These elements are the ones with five dollar signs in a row ["$$$$$"]. You will erase the dollar signs and the reminder/instructions between them, replacing them with your actual data.

Elements with five percent signs in a row ["%%%%%"] will be filled in when the WWP as a whole figures out what goes in them; you, the encoder, do not have to fill in fields with percent signs in them.

Remember that you can find most of the information that you need in the Transcription Database (make sure you pick the TEI Header layout option), which also contains directions for what goes where. You should transcribe the information directly from the Transcription Database, following the capitalization, spelling, and punctuation exactly.

Change from old template: The current main template has instructions embedded within it for inserting one of three sub-templates, depending on what kind of document you have. That is, your <sourceDesc> will be either "simple", "excerpt", or "part", depending on the nature of your document. This is described below. For ease of viewing in this example, I have provided links to the sub-templates from within the blank template below: to see one, just click on the sgml name of the sub-template (e.g. template-sourceDesc-simple.sgm).

Blank Sub-Template for "Simple" Source Description

This is the sub-template most used at the WWP, since we usually do encode the entire text, rather than an excerpt or a part of a text.

This is how the "simple" sub-template looks when you first open it:

      <!-- **************************************************** -->
      <!-- encoders: remove *all* comments after inserting this -->
      <!-- template SOURCEDESC into your document (of course,   -->
      <!-- you should do what the comments say, first :-)       -->

Step-by-step Explanations and Tutorial

General Notes

When you start encoding, you will open a template containing the barebones structure of the WWP-specific <teiHeader> information.

You will have to fill in data specific to your text into appropriate parts of the template. Some of the elements in the template contain text telling you how to fill in the data and where to obtain the information. These elements are the ones with five dollar signs in a row ["$$$$$"]. You will erase the dollar signs and the reminder/instructions between them, replacing them with your actual data.

Elements with five percent signs in a row ["%%%%%"] will be filled in when the WWP as a whole figures out what goes in them; you, the encoder, do not have to fill in fields with percent signs in them.

Some elements contain "or" bars (||) between two possible choices, e.g. "British||American English" in the <langUsage> element. You will simply pick one of the choices and delete the other choice(s), as well as all the "or" bars.

Remember to delete all comments (<!-- blah blah -->) after you have finished reading and using them for help.

You can find most of the information that you need in the Transcription Database (make sure you pick the TEI Header layout option), which also contains directions for what goes where. You should transcribe the information directly from the Transcription Database, following the capitalization, spelling, and punctuation exactly.

The <titleStmt>

The <titleStmt> contains the title and author of the WWP electronic file. The <title> is a shortened version of the document title, with regularized spelling, capitalization, and typography. It is followed by the publication date. The <author> is a standard version of the author's name, last name first.

As a general rule, if the text is published after 1670, you must delete the second <funder> element (referring to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation). However,double-check with Julia first before doing so, as there are a few interesting exceptions to this rule.

   <titleStmt>
     <title type="main">Letters by the Late
       Celebrated Mrs. Katherine Philips, 1697</title>
     <title type="sub">Women Writers Project first electronic edition</title>
     <author>Philips, Katherine (Fowler)</author>
     <sponsor>Brown University</sponsor>
     <funder>U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities</funder>
     <funder>The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation</funder>
   </titlestmt>

The <publicationStmt>

The <publicationStmt> contains information about the publication of the WWP's electronic edition of the text. The only thing encoders need to fill in here is the transcription ID number, which should go inside the <idno> element.

  <publicationStmt>
    <publisher>Brown University Women Writers Project</publisher>
    <address>
      <addrLine>Box 1841</addrLine>
      <addrLine>Brown University</addrLine>
      <addrLine>Providence, RI 02912-1841</addrLine>
    </address>
    <idno type="WWP">TR00180</idno>
    <availability>&legalese;</availability>
    <date value="%%%%%">%%%%% date released to
      world (e.g., on web) %%%%%</date>
  </publicationStmt>

The <sourceDesc>

The <sourceDesc> contains information about the source document itself. All information should be taken from the Transcription database.

In all cases, the OT ID number should be encoded on the n= attribute of the <sourceDesc>. Also in all cases, the <sourceDesc> contains a <biblStruct> containing publication information about the source document. What goes inside <biblStruct> depends on what kind of text is being encoded. There are three possible categories:

If you are having trouble figuring out whether your document is an independently published text ("simple"), an "excerpt", or a separately named "part", please see one of the staff for assistance. Remember that the vast majority of our texts are independently published texts which we transcribe in their entirety.

In the simple case of independently published texts, the <biblStruct> contains a single <monogr> element. Within <monogr>, the <author> element records a standardized form of the author's name, last name first. If there are multiple authors, there can be multiple <author> elements. The <title> element records the full title of the source document, without capitalization (apart from proper names), with regularized typography (i/j/u/v/w) but with original spelling. If the Transcription database does not indicate an edition, the <edition> element should be left blank. The <imprint> element contains publication information which represents the WWP's best knowledge about the publication of the text.

The two <extent> elements record the number of pages in the OT, and the size (or more accurately, format) of the OT (quarto, folio, etc.). If these fields are blank in the Transcription Database, email Julia asking her to help you find the missing information.

  <monogr>
        <author>Evans, Katherine</author>
        <author>Chevers, Sarah</author>
        <title>This is a short relation of some of the cruel sufferings (for the
truths sake) of Katharine Evans and Sarah Chevers in the Inquisition in the
isle of Malta</title>
        <edition>First edition</edition>
        <imprint>
                <pubplace>London</pubplace>
                <publisher>Robert Wilson</publisher>
                <date>1662</date>
        </imprint>
        <extent type="pagination">112 pp.</extent>
        <extent type="format">quarto</extent>
  </monogr>

In the case of excerpts from independently published texts, the chief difference from the simple case is that <biblScope> elements are used to indicate how much of the source document is transcribed in the WWP version. The <biblscope type="part"> indicates the name of the part included in the WWP textbase. If this part is not taken directly from the source document, it should be enclosed within brackets. The <biblscope type="pages"> indicates the page range which is included. This information is not in the Transcription Database; you must fill it in for yourself, by looking at your document and noting which pages you are actually transcribing. Also, note that the <extent> elements refer to the excerpt, not the full source document, so the <extent type="pagination"> indicates the number of pages in the excerpt.

Finally, note that in the case of excerpts the authorship information may be slightly more complicated. The <author> element should record the actual author of the source document as reported on the title page (not necessarily the same as that of the excerpt). This information is also not in the Transcription Database, but you should find it on your title page. If it is not there, ask Julia for assistance. In addition, if the excerpt carries some separate kind of responsibility, that should be recorded in a <respStmt> after the <title> element.

In the case of a separate, named component of an independently published document, the contents of <biblStruct> differ considerably more from the simple case. The author and title of the transcribed component are recorded within an <analytic> element. Following this is the publication information for the actual published document within which the transcribed component appears, encoded within a <monogr> element. The <author> element within <monogr> should be the author of the actual published document, as reported on the title page (not necessarily the same as the author of the transcribed part). If the name on the title page is not that of an author, but of an editor or compiler, the name should be encoded within an <editor> element or a <respStmt> element. The template contains all of these elements in case you need them; you should delete any which you don't use.

As with the case of excerpts, the <biblScope> element contains the page range for the transcribed component, not the entire published document. The first <extent> element similarly records the number of pages in the transcribed component, not the entire published document.

        <extent type="pagination">18 pp.</extent>
        <extent type="format">octavo</extent>
  </monogr>

In all cases, the final components of the <biblStruct> are several <idno> elements. The first <idno> element records information about the source library. The key of the library goes on the type= attribute of <idno>, and the call number (if any) goes inside the <idno> element as content. If there is no call number, the content should be "[unknown]". The second <idno> element records the Wing or STC number, if any. The designator "Wing" or "STC" goes on the type= attribute of <idno>, and the Wing or STC number goes in the content of <idno>. If there is no Wing or STC number, delete the second <idno> element.

  <idno type="WF">R1743</idno>
  <idno type="Wing">R1743</idno>

The <encodingDesc>

The <encodingDesc> contains information about how the document is encoded. Most of its contents are boilerplate prose which will be supplied separately. However, the <tagsDecl> included with the template contains sample renditional defaults for the document, which you may wish to customize to suit your document, so as to save work in encoding repeated renditional features.

To set up a renditional default, first create a <rendition> element (or use one of the ones provided in the template) whose content is a component of a rendition ladder which you wish to apply to one or more GIs (that is, to all instances of a given element). Next, create a <tagUsage> element (or use one provided in the template) whose gi= attribute records the name of the element to which you want to apply a given rendition, and whose render= attribute records the value of the id= attribute from the <rendition> element which records the desired rendition. Thus if you want all <name> elements to be rendered in italics, you first create a <rendition> element which specifies italics:

        <rendition id="r.it">slant(italic)</rendition>

and then create a <tagUsage> element which identifies this <rendition> element and applies it to <name>:

        <tagusage gi="name" render="r.it"></tagusage>

Note that you can create multiple <tagUsage> elements which all point to the same <rendition> element:

        <tagusage gi="name" render="r.it"></tagusage>
        <tagusage gi="quote" render="r.it"></tagusage>

Example:

  <encodingDesc>
    <projectDesc>&projDesc;</projectDesc>
    <samplingDecl>&sampling;</samplingDecl>
    <editorialDecl>&editorial;</editorialDecl>
    <tagsDecl>
        <rendition id="r.it">slant(italic)</rendition>
        <rendition id="r.break">break(yes)</rendition>
        <rendition id="r.nobreak">break(no)</rendition>
        <tagusage gi="$$$$$" render="r.$$$$$"></tagusage>
        <tagusage gi="$$$$$" render="r.$$$$$"></tagusage>
        <tagusage gi="$$$$$" render="r.$$$$$"></tagusage>
    </tagsdecl>
  </encodingdesc>

The <profileDesc>

The <profileDesc> contains information about the languages used in the document. The template already includes a <langUsage> element; in most cases you simply need to delete as necessary to indicate whether the main language is British or American English, and fill in the date of the document (usually the publication date, but for a speech published long after the actual event, the date might be that of the original speech).

In documents which use languages other than English, create additional <langUsage> elements as necessary, using the model provided in the template.

  <profileDesc>
    <langUsage>
      <language id="eng">American||British English circa
      <date value="YYYY">$$$$$ YYYY
      $$$$$</date></language>
    </langUsage>
  </profileDesc>

The <revisionDesc>

The <revisionDesc> records changes made to the encoded text. All the work you do on a document should be recorded here, with each work item in a separate <change> element. You do not need to record every minute change you make ("Changed capital V to lowercase v on page 6"), but you should record the major stages in the document's transcription (initial capture, validation, supravalidation, proofreading and correction, checking round), as well as any large-scale modifications such as adding forme work, changing the encoding of all the notes, keying all the names, etc.

  <revisionDesc>
