9. Personal, place and other names
Where names occur in the text, we normally tag them as follows:
- The names of individuals are tagged using the <persName> element.
- The names of places are tagged using the <placeName> element.
- The names of groups of people are tagged using the plain <name> element, using the type attribute to distinguish between confederacy, nation or group. An additional value of unknown is available for situations where the nature of the group is not clear.
