Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.
When creating a new file or entity, encoders need to conform to
words_with_underscoretype (see below for details). Entities are referents to items of various types (location, name, etc.), generated in files including but not limited to: PERS1, ORGS1, GLOSS1, and BIBL1. Entities can also have files of their own, in corresponding project folders, such as The Triumphs of the Golden Fleece (GOLD4) file in the a_lord_mayor folder. These entities require unique IDs that are of the
XXXX1type (see below for details). Note that files that refer to entities will have a combination of both ID types: words_with_underscore_XXXX1 (see Stow example below). The project’s schema will prevent you from adding names which do not conform.
The first thing you need to do when creating an ID is to check
An entity can refer to a location, person, work of literature, and others. For example, the historical person George Abbot has an entity ID of ABBO1.
When creating a new entity ID, you must follow
In
Binary documents are non XML files/documents; this includes PDFs, Word documents, images, videos, and others. When naming such documents/files, follow the naming conventions for files in how_to and info: use all lower-case letters, and only underscores to separate between words.
If you are not sure if the file name or entity ID fit
