Repetitions in lists

Encoding Instructions (new P5 version)

The WWP encodes indicators of repetition by using the sameAs attribute. Indicators of repetition include words like “ditto” (for instance, in subscriber lists - see 084 for more on subscriber lists), “etc.” (for instance, in choruses or refrains), or “ibid.” (in bibliographic references). In each case, the repeater word (ditto, ibid...) should be encoded with an element whose sameAs attribute should point to the ID of the element whose content is being repeated. If no element is already conveniently present (such as persName or placeName) then seg should be used. Thus, in the case of a subscriber list with several subscribers from the same town:

<list type="subscriber">headSubscribers/

item<persName key="JAtkinson.xyz">Mr. Joseph Atkinson/

<placeName xml:id="KEN">Kendal/

item<persName key="IAtkinson.wqi">Mr. Isaac Atkinson/

<placeName sameAs="KEN">ditto///

Where “ditto” is used in place of a name or place name, we encode it as follows:

<persName sameAs="[point to ID of the referent; this is the instance where the actual name appears, not the previous ditto]">ditto/persName

<placeName sameAs="[point to ID of the referent]">ditto/placeName

Phrases which indicate repetition, such as “ditto” or “etc.” (in choruses) or “ibid.” (in bibliographic references) should not be expanded using abbr.

If phrases such as “2 copies” are dittoed, they can also take the sameAs attribute on the element that is used to encode them (in this case the measure element).

Examples

Example 1. The OT might look 
            like this: 
            
            Subscribers
            -----------
            Mr. Joseph Atkinson, Kendal
            Mr. Isaac Atkinson, ditto
            Mr. W. Allport, Liverpool, 4 copies
            Miss C. Addison, London, 2 copies
            W. Barrington, Kendal, ditto
            That list encoded would look like this: 
            <list type="subscriber"><head 
            rend="slant(italic)">Subscribers</>
            <item><persName key="JAtkinson.xyz">Mr. 
            Joseph Atkinson</>
            <placeName xml:id="KEN">Kendal</>
            <item><persName key="IAtkinson.wqi">Mr. 
            Isaac Atkinson</>
            <placeName sameas="KEN">ditto</>
            <item><persName key="WAllport.his">Mr. W. 
            Allport</>
            <placeName>Liverpool</>
            <num>4 copies</>
            <item><persName key="CAddison.wei">Miss 
            Addison</>
            <placeName>London</>
            <num xml:id="C2">2 copies</>
            <item><persName key="WBarringt.poa">W. 
            Barrington</>
            <placeName>Kendal</>
            <num sameas="C2">ditto</>
            </list>
            Similarly, in a table of contents one might see the following:
            Written on the Sea Shore.......19
            ________ visiting Arundel Castle.........20
            This should be encoded as (somewhat simplified):
            <item><rs><seg xml:id="wr01">Written 
            on</seg> the Sea Shore</rs>
            <ref type="pagenum">19</ref></item>
            <item><rs><seg 
            sameas="wr01">&sdash;</seg> visiting Arundel 
            Castle</rs>
            <ref type="pagenum">20</ref></item>
