ENG287H1 Lecture : ENG287 February 27 - TEI
Document Summary
Tagging = taking data and describing other data: metadata is what is used to display/classify the data, elements are metadata. Tei isn"t the same as html because the latter is about displaying information. It tells web browsers how things are supposed to look. Sample text: quotations have 2 purposes. Indicate foreign language: = paragraphs, = italics, = person"s name, = external speech, = emphasis, = bibliographic information, = title. Tags can have attributes that further describe the data, and the attributes have values: for example a foreign language can be an attribute and the specific language is the value. Slide 39/40 for basic tei file structure. For our project we"re only using the tags and = character"s words are being recorded by the narrator or another character. Every time it"s used need to specify whether the original phrase was spoken aloud vs. thought silently and specify the type of discourse.
