This document supercedes the Google doc used previously. (Note: in the layer names, @ and _ are interchangeable; @ gets converted to _ when the file is converted)
| tok | tokens, smallest possible unit to be annotated; MAY BE SMALLER THAN THE MORPHEMES IN ORIG |
| orig | smallest unit of LANGUAGE (morpheme or word level; smaller than the bound group level); orthography is from the original text (diplomatic, edition, whatever); includes supralinear strokes and other markings from the manuscript (see http://www.copticscriptorium.org/download/tools/SCRIPTORIUMDiplTranscriptionGuidelines.pdf. Spans in this layer must match those in norm exactly in their length. |
| orig_group | bound groups using the original orthography, including supralinear strokes and other markings. Spans in this layer must match those in norm_group exactly in their length. |
| norm_group | bound groups (same structure as orig_word but with normalized spelling, etc., so content is based on norm). Spans in this layer must match those in orig_group exactly in their length. |
| norm | normalized version of orig. Spans in this layer must match those in orig exactly in their length. |
| pos | part of speech tags. Spans in this layer must match those in norm exactly in their length. (i.e. norm units are the units that carry parts of speech. |
| lang | language of origin tags (Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Aramaic, etc.) |
| morph | morphs that are below the word level – this is where words containing mnt, at, ref are annotated a second time (see http://www.copticscriptorium.org/download/tools/SCRIPTORIUMDiplTranscriptionGuidelines.pdf sections 4.3 & 4.4. Note that morph units DO NOT receive parts of speech. |
| lemma | lemma (dictionary head word); annotates on the normalized words (“norm” layer) |
| note | notes that normally would go in a TEI XML <note note=“xxx”> tag |
| hi@rend | usually appears as hi_rend in the column name in spreadsheet mode; for text renderings (see http://www.copticscriptorium.org/download/tools/SCRIPTORIUMDiplTranscriptionGuidelines.pdf sections 4.2 & 5). Use spaces not commas between elements (e.g., red large not red, large); to render spaces, be sure to place underscores in the phrase (e.g., 1_space_right not 1 space right); validates to TEI XML only if there are five or fewer elements |
| gap | Annotates for lacunae. Corresponds to the EpiDoc TEI-XML element gap. Uses attributes such as @reason, @unit, @quantity, and @extent. With attributes, each element+attribute annotation generates a new layer in the multi-layer data model |
| supplied | Annotates for supplied text where text is missing from the original for a variety of reasons. Corresponds to the EpiDoc TEI-XML element supplied. Uses attributes such as @evidence and @reason. With attributes, each element+attribute annotation generates a new layer in the multi-layer data model. |
| lb@n | usually appears as lb_n in column header in spreadsheet mode; line breaks – numbered according to the original manuscript |
| cb@n | usually appears as cb_n in column header in spreadsheet mode; column breaks – numbered according to the original manuscript |
| pb_xml_id | Page numbers of original manuscript (not the current repository numbering); be sure column label does not include a colon (e.g. pb_xml_id not pb_xml:id); be sure page numbers do not include spaces (e.g. EG202 not EG 202) (TEI XML <pb xml:id=“xxx”>) |
| ignore:note | notes that will NOT be imported into ANNIS or exported as TEI or PAULA XML; private notations from annotators/encoders/editors |
| translation | English translation; necessary for analytic view: if the text has no translation, use “…” in logical spans where a translation would go. Use small sentences or partial sentences. Must be aligned with “p” paragraph breaks and not cut across the paragraph breaks. If you use quotation marks, do not use double straight quotation marks; you can use round smart quotes or single quotes. |
| p | paragraph breaks for translation and normalization; necessary for the normalized view. If the paragraphs are not numbered, put “p” in each span. Be sure p spans are equal to or contain translation spans; they cannot break across translation spans. Typically provide paragraph breaks for every ekthesis. |
| verse_n | verse of text written as number (always use in Bible of any kind, including Sahidica) |
| chapter_n | chapter of text recorded as number; currently used only in corpora in which there are canonical or disciplinary-standard chapter divisions (not a required annotation; for Bible this information is typically in the metadata, as well) |
| sbl_greek | The Greek New Testament text. Annotation for the New Testament corpora only. Aligned by verse with the Coptic. Source is the XML Greek New Testament created by the Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Software. |
| sbl_apparatus | The apparatus for the Greek New Testament text. Annotation for the New Testament corpora only. Aligned by verse with the Coptic and Greek New Testament text. Source is the XML Greek New Testament created by the Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Software. |
| div@type | For EpiDoc TEI compatibility, this element needs to be present in div spans. Usually our number (n) in the div tag corresponds to the verse in the bible corpora. In the spreadsheet file, this layer should be present, it should be equal in size to the verse span, and every cell should contain the text “textpart” (no quotes). EpiDoc TEI conversion should produce <div type=“textpart” n=“1”> for the div wrapping verse one in any chapter of the Sahidica corpus. |
| vid | formerly verse@id (Sahidica) |
| chapter@cname | chapter of text written as text and number (not necessary – in other data) |
| chapter@cid | chapter id (Sahidica– not necessary) |
| verse@vname | verse of text written as text and number (e.g. 1 Corinthians 1:10) (not necessary – in other data) |
| add_place | |
| vid_n | CTS URN for the verse (e.g., urn:cts:copticLit:johannes.canons.monbfa:1.1) |
| ed_page_n | page number of a text as it appears in an edition |
| ed_line_n | line number of a text as it appears in an edition |
| entity | one of the ten entity types (e.g. person, place) see entity guidelines. Note that there can be multiple entity columns due to nested entities. These columns are typically not edited manually in the spreadsheet, but are added by the graphical entity editing interface in entities mode. |
| identity | this annotation stores linked entry identifiers for named entities; it is populated automatically during export by GitDox if named entities have been added using the entity annotation interface. Annotators do not need to manually add this column |
| arabic | Arabic translation. Spans should follow translation and verse layers |
The following information should NOT be annotated manually in the spreadsheet, as it is added by other processes:
(Note: see also the corpus-level metadata documentation for adding metadata for the entire corpus.)
