Note

The respons element is designed for cases in which fine-grained information about specific aspects of the markup of a text is desirable for whatever reason. Global responsibility for certain aspects of markup is usually more simply indicated in the TEI header, using the respStmt element within the title statement, edition statement, or change log.

Example
<respons target="#p1locus="name location"
 resp="#encoder1"/>

<respons target="#p2match="@rend"
 locus="valueresp="#encoder2"/>

<list type="encoders">
 <item xml:id="encoder1"/>
 <item xml:id="encoder2"/>
</list>
Example

In this (partially fictional) example the entire document was transcribed and encoded by a single encoder, except for one passage which was transcribed and encoded by the proofreader.


<!-- in the <teiHeader>: --><respStmt xml:id="enc01">
 <name>C. Colin Backslash</name>
 <resp>transcription</resp>
 <resp>encoding</resp>
</respStmt>
<respStmt xml:id="prf01">
 <name>Erin Spelling</name>
 <resp>proofreading</resp>
</respStmt>
<!-- in the <text>: -->
<p>Θερινὴ τροπή
<lb/>
 <foreign xml:lang="hboxml:id="mp0a8"> ת
 <supplied reason="undefined">קו</supplied>
  <unclear>פ</unclear>
   ת תמוז
 </foreign>
</p>
<!-- elsewhere: -->
<respons target="#mp0a8locus="name value"
 resp="#prf01"/>
Example

In this (partially fictional) example an initial encoder (‘across.dta’) encoded most of the document; a later encoder (‘rcapolung.ewo’) encoded a particular passage; and a third encoder (‘sbauman.emt’) fixed some of that encoding.


<!-- in the <teiHeader>: --><respStmt xml:id="enc03">
 <persName ref="../contextual/persons.xml#across.dta"/>
 <resp>encoding</resp>
