Posted by on 26 Oct 2011 in Documentation

A detailed write-up of the information below has been added to the Guidelines document. For now, the following examples, where the attributes are emphasized, should suffice:

For places: <placeName type="incomplete">Point Aitch Bee Cee</placeName>
For people:<persName type="incomplete"> <surname>Andrews</surname>, <forename> J.</forename><forename> A.</forename></persName>
For vessels: <name subtype="incomplete" type="vessel" key="archer">Archer</name>
