CORR
(i.e. correction)
Description: contains the correct form of a passage apparently errone-
ous in the copy text.
Attributes:
sic: gives the original form of the apparent error in the copy
text.
Data type: CDATA
Value: any string of characters
Default value: #IMPLIED
Example:
for his nose was as sharp as a pen, and
<corr sic="a Table"> a' babbled</corr>
of green fields.
This attribute is optional.
resp (i.e. responsibility): signifies the editor or transcriber
responsible for suggesting the correction held as the con-
tent of the <corr> element.
Data type: CDATA
Value: must be one of the identifiers declared in the document
header, associated with a person asserted as responsible for
some aspect of the text's creation, transcription, editing,
or encoding (see chapter 17, "Certainty and Responsibility,"
on page 33).
Default value: %INHERITED
Remarks: If the correction was made in the source, this attribute
should be used to identify the hand of the corrector.
This attribute is optional.
cert (i.e. certainty): signifies the degree of certainty ascribed
to the correction held as the content of the <corr> element.
Data type: CDATA
Default value: #IMPLIED
This attribute is optional.
Example:
If all that is desired is to call attention to the fact that
the copy text has been corrected, no attributes are required:
I don't know, Juan. It's so far in the past now —
how <corr>can we</corr> prove or disprove anyone's theories?
It is also possible to provide a correct reading and to identify the
individual responsible for the correction:
I don't know, Juan. It's so far in the past now —
how <corr sic='we can' resp='MSM'>can we</corr> prove or
disprove anyone's theories?
Remarks: The <corr> tag is a mirror of <sic>: the latter leaves the
original text untouched, giving the correction as an attribute
value; the former substitutes the correction, leaving the original
reading as an attribute value. The choice between them is up to
the encoder.
