Missing elements?

[DigitalHistory]

Hello. I am new to this and am hoping I am missing something very obvious and simple to correct. The element "socecStatus" is supposedly included in the [namesdates] module for TEI. I have added this module to a TEI 4 document, but although other [namesdates] elements such as "placeName" now show up as available, "socecStatus" does not, and I get an error message if I try to use it. I have also tried creating a "TEI all" document but cannot use "socecStatus" in this either. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks.

Hi,

The "particDesc" element is included for TEI 4 in the TEI.corpus module:

http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P4/html ... TDESC.html

So a sample TEI P4 would be something like:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE TEI.2 PUBLIC "-//TEI P4//DTD Main Document Type//EN" "http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/DTD/tei2.dtd" [

<!ENTITY % TEI.prose 'INCLUDE'>

<!ENTITY % TEI.corpus 'INCLUDE'>

<!ENTITY % TEI.linking 'INCLUDE'>

<!ENTITY % TEI.figures 'INCLUDE'>

<!ENTITY % TEI.analysis 'INCLUDE'>

<!ENTITY % TEI.XML 'INCLUDE'>

<!ENTITY % ISOlat1 SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-lat1.ent'>

%ISOlat1;

<!ENTITY % ISOlat2 SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-lat2.ent'>

%ISOlat2;

<!ENTITY % ISOnum SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-num.ent'>

%ISOnum;

<!ENTITY % ISOpub SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-pub.ent'>

%ISOpub;

<TEI.2>

    <teiHeader>

        <fileDesc>

            .............

        </fileDesc>

        <profileDesc>

            <particDesc>

                <person>

                    <socecStatus></socecStatus>

                </person>

            </particDesc>

        </profileDesc>

    </teiHeader>

For more complex questions you should try also the TEI users list:

They might be better acquainted to the TEI specification.
