The title statement (author and title information)
Posted by mholmes on 14 Jun 2010 in Activity log, Hit by a bus
The title statement (<titleStmt>) tag, in <TEI/teiHeader/fileDesc>, contains the key information about the author and title which is used to generate the document title on the page, the title in the table of contents, and the running titles. It looks like this:
<fileDesc> <titleStmt> <title level="a" type="main">The effects of Asynchronous Computer Voice Conferencing on L2 Learners’ Speaking Anxiety</title> <title level="a" type="sub"></title> <title level="a" type="runningRecto">Asynchronous Voice Conferencing and Speaking Anxiety</title> <title level="a" type="runningVerso">Poza</title> <author> <name> <forename>María Isabel Charle</forename> <surname>Poza</surname> <affiliation><name type="org">Lincoln University</name></affiliation> </name> </author> </titleStmt>
If there is a main title and a subtitle, enter it into the subtitle field, which is optional. The running title (Atype="runningRecto") will appear on as the running title on the recto page; by convention, this is a shortened form of the main title. The runningVerso title is the surname of the author. The author's name should be broken up into <forename> and <surname> tags, with all forenames and initials going into the <forename> tag.
