[tei-council] Bug 506: examples for @corresp

Fri Dec 20 14:08:23 EST 2013

A gloss is, though, in some sense "interchangeable", and the new example 
is supposed to demonstrate a usage which is not like that.

I've also looked at the TEI By Example usage here:

<http://www.teibyexample.org/examples/TBED04v00.htm>

where @corresp is used to link <rhyme> elements together. It's obvious 
that you can't just interchange the text of a rhyme at the end of one 
line with the text of a rhyme at the end of another, so that might be a 
good example, but it's a fine distinction; you could also argue that 
@corresp applies to the rhyminess, rather than the text, so they are 
somehow equivalent (and that's sort of the point of a rhyme). I also 
think this example would end up being rather long for the purpose.

Cheers,
Martin

There’s the additional explanatory text, anchored at some point in the body of the main text (e.g. foot- or endnotes), and I agree there’s not really a correspondence relation for those. But there are also notes that are annotations—that explicitly attach to and add information about something (probably in a TEI context something that’s already tagged, like a persName), and for these I think there *is* a correspondence. <note> is used interchangeably for these, to add to the confusion.
