This Edition has developed a vocabulary to refer to various individual components of the editorial framework. These will mostly be self-evident or well-known terms, but it may be helpful to the user to define our terms here in order to avoid ambiguity.
Attribute
Attributes are used to associate name-value pairs with elements. They are most often used to define an element more closely through their attribute value. For example: <note type="gloss">. Here type is the attribute that more closely defines the element note though its attribute value gloss.
Attribute Value
A value given to an attribute that more closely defines an element. See example given under Attribute.
Catchword
The word that is echoed from the beginning of one page back to the end of its predecessor. Catchwords have been transcribed in the online edition.
DTD
The XML document type declaration contains or points to markup declarations that provide a grammar for a class of documents. This grammar is known as a document type definition, or DTD. For this edition we used the DTD of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), that was specifically developed to mark-up textual material and manuscripts. The texts were originally created in SGML (see below).
Element
Each XML document contains one or more elements, the boundaries of which are either delimited by start-tags and end-tags, or, for empty elements, by an empty-element tag. Each element has a type, identified by name, sometimes called its "generic identifier" (GI), and may have a set of attribute specifications (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml).
Entity
Within the context of the edition, the term entity is most often used to refer to an entity reference of a literal character. Entity references are used in order to express the various letters used by early editions that cannot be easily typed using the standard western computer keyboard. Those letters have to be expressed in the text by using an entity reference. Entity references are made up of a numerical code preceded by an ampersand and a hash and followed by a semicolon.
Gloss
The marginal glosses, or accompanying marginal commentaries, play a particularly important role in the edition text. They have an important pedagogical function as well as serving as a means of citation. The gloss commentary notes changes to the position and content of each gloss.
Gutter
The gutter is the inner margin of the printed book that runs into the spine.
Page
The fundamental unit of the published text. It has been retained in the organization and display of this Edition. The pagination has been retained, even where it is in error. All citations should be to the page of the edition.
SGML
Structured Generalised Markup Language. The original encoding scheme of the Stuart London edition. SGML was originally devised in the 1960's. XML, a derivative of SGML is considered the current standard for document encoding.
TEI
The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). "Initially launched in 1987, the TEI is an international and interdisciplinary standard that helps libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars represent all kinds of literary and linguistic texts for online research and teaching, using an encoding scheme that is maximally expressive and minimally obsolescent" (http://www.tei-c.org/).
URL
'Unique Resource Locator' : the fundamental address utilised by the world-wide web.
XML
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of SGML. Its goal is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with html. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and html (W3C). XML allows the markup of a document's content and structure, rather than the pure layout mark-up utilised by html.
