Tagging metadata in the text (for indexing) in IRCyr

(cf. also IRCyr Metadata in header)

Persons

Personal names should already have been tagged as part of the tokenization stage; please review and check that persons are correctly identified.

If the text is published (pre-1987), and the XML file has already been lemmatized (nominative of Greek name in @nymRef attribute), then check if any person identified as "attested" is listed in LGPN vol I (on top shelf behind desk). If they are, then they will have a number in that edition. For example, in A.60 (A06000) the name Εἰρήνη occurs--she is in LGPN I (page 147) as number 7. Please add an attribute @key with this number, as follows:

          <persName type="attested" nymRef="Εἰρήνη" key="7"><name>Εἰρήνη</name></persName>

Places

Placenames and geographical names should already have been tagged as part of the tokenization stage; please review and check that places are correctly identified.

Numbers

Numerals should already have been tagged as part of the tokenization stage; please review and check that numerals are correctly identified.

Months

Egyptian or Latin month names should be tagged in the text as words (<w>), and then additionally, outside this, as month with a key pointing to the authority list in AL_latin_months.xml.

          <rs type="month" key="Ἀθύρ">Ἁθὺρ</rs>

Age at death

On funerary texts, when the age of the deceased is given (usually after the word ἐτῶν, "years old"), this should be tagged as a date with a duration (rather than a fixed date in time), as follows:

     <date when-iso="P21Y"><expan><ex>ἐτῶν</ex></expan> <num value="21">κα</num></date>

Roman tribes

If a person's name includes a reference to Roman tribe (Pollia, Quirina, etc.), this should be tagged as:

     <name type="tribe">Κύρινα</name>

Religious/Military terms etc.

At this stage we are not tagging military terminology, titulature, religious indicators, social/political/economic vocabulary, etc. in IRCyr.
