In order to manage the metadata of a text, T
EI provides an electronic title page, the T
EI header. It is prefixed to the text and both constitute the complete T
EI document.
The T
EI header for texts in Baseline Encoding contains elements of the modules
core,
gaiji,
header,
msdescription,
namesdates and
transcr.
The header elements for encoding critical editions are not described at this point, though included in the Baseline Encoding Schema. Due to the complexity of critical apparatus, their encoding cannot be reduced to a Baseline Encoding. For a detailed description see the T
EI guindelines chapter 12 "`Critical Apparatus"'
