Hierarchy

The TEI header for Baseline Encoding consists of the file description, the encoding description and optionally of the profileDesc and / or the revision description.

The file description contains the elements <titleStmt>, <publicationStmt>, <sourceDesc> and optionally <notesStmt>. The <sourceDesc> includes the element <biblStruct>, which itself contains the elements <monogr> and <idno>. The element <msDesc> with its subelement <msIdentifier> characterizes the text "`letter"'.

The encoding description contains the <editorialDecl>, which itself includes the element <normalization>. Glyphs are referenced in the <charDecl> in the element <glyph>.

The profile description with the element <handNotes> documents the different hands identified within the source texts. Every hand is identified in an element <handNote> within <handNotes>

In the revision description changes are noted with the element <change>.
