Notes

TEI encoding of foot- and marginal notes.

Note text is always moved from its position on the printed page and placed inline with the page text at the point where the note anchor is originally located. Note text is surrounded with the <note> element. We use the attributes @anchored, @place, and @type to document whether the text used a note mark (siglum), the note's location on the page, and its authorship. @cert is used when the note's attachment point in the text is unclear.

Footnotes may runover from one page to the next. In these cases, we add elements to insert page beginnings that correspond to the correct pages. See below.

We replace the printed note sigla (numbers or letters) with automatically-generated note numbers for the notes within each entry. Note sigla are difficult to capture correctly in OCR, due to their small size, and those numbers are often specific to the sequence on the printed page, rather than to the entry itself. We do not document the original note number.

<note anchored="true" place="bottom" type="authorial">

<note anchored="false" place="margin" type="editorial">


`@anchored`	Does the page image show the exact place of reference? Permissible values: `true \| false`.
`@place`	What was the original location of the note text in the page image? Use `below` when the note is positioned in relation to some page element, normally a table, rather than at the `bottom` or `margin` of the page. Permissible values: `bottom \| margin \| below`.
`@type`	Who authored the note text? In most cases, this will be the entry author, so use `authorial`. If the note is inserted by the Encyclopedia editors, indicated by [Ed.], use `editorial`. Permissible values: `authorial \| editorial`.
`@cert`	Reserved for rare instances where the siglum for a footnote is missing from the page. In such a case, set `@anchored` to `false` and add `@cert` to indicate the degree of certainty about the inferred anchored point. Permissible values: `high \| medium \| low \| unknown`.

Runover Notes

Page breaks within notes need special treatment. We use <pb> inside the note, but we link it to the corresponding <pb> in the main text by adding the @corresp attribute with the value of the @xml:id of the <pb> in the main text. We then add a unique @xml:id to the <pb> in the note (beginning with "pbn") and reference it in the main text <pb> with a new @corresp attribute. This clarifies that the two <pb>s reference the same page break.

Example 1.


    <note>This is a note with a page break 
        <pb corresp="kp-eb0316-0009-0004" xml:id="pbn16004"/>
        in the middle of it.</note>
    ...
    <p>This body text paragraph has a normal page break in the middle of it, 
        and there is a note which continues on the next page. The
        paragraph continues <pb xml:id="kp-eb0316-0009-0004" corresp="pbn16004"/> 
        after the page break.
    </p>

Summary:

in the <note><pb>
- remove @n="xx", if any.
- add @xml:id="pbnvvppp" (pbn = preface; vv = 2-digit volume; ppp = 3-digit page number)
- add @corresp using the @xml:id of the <pb> in the main text
- Result: <pb corresp="kp-eb0316-0059-0004" xml:id="pbn16004"/>
- Note: The preface "pbn" stands for "page-beginning note"
in the main text <pb>
- add @corresp using the new @xml:id of the note <pb>
- <pb corresp="pbn16004" facs="ia:gri_33125011196827/page/n59" xml:id="kp-eb0316-0059-0004"/>
