GAP
(i.e. omitted material)
Description: indicates a point where material has been omitted in a
transcription, whether for editorial reasons described in the TEI
header, as part of sampling practice, or because the material is
illegible or inaudible.
Attributes:
desc (i.e. description): gives a description of the omitted text.
Data type: CDATA
Value: a prose description of the material omitted.
Default value: #IMPLIED
This attribute is optional.
reason: gives the reason for omission. Sample values include
"sampling", "illegible", "inaudible", "irrelevant", "can-
celed", "canceled and illegible".
Data type: CDATA
Value: any short indication of the reason for the omission.
Default value: #IMPLIED
This attribute is optional.
resp (i.e. responsibility): indicates the editor, transcriber or
encoder responsible for the decision not to provide any
transcription of the text and hence the application of the
<gap> tag.
Data type: IDREF
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
This attribute is optional.
hand: In the case of text omitted from the transcription because
of deliberate deletion by an identifiable hand, signifies
the hand which made the deletion.
Data type: IDREF
Value: must be one of the hand identifiers declared in the docu-
ment header (see section 18.2.1, "Document Hands," on page
35).
Default value: %INHERITED
This attribute is optional.
agent: In the case of text omitted from the transcription because
of damage or other phenomenon resulting from an identifia-
ble cause, signifies the causative agent.
Data type: CDATA
Value: any prose description of the agency of damage.
Default value: #IMPLIED
This attribute is optional.
extent: indicates approximately how much text has been omitted
from the transcription, in letters, minims, inches, or any
appropriate unit, either because of editorial policy or
because a deletion, damage or other cause has rendered tran-
scription impossible.
Data type: CDATA
Value: any string of characters
Default value: #IMPLIED
Remarks: It is possible, but not always necessary, to provide
measurements precise to the millimeter or even to the print-
er's point. The degree of precision attempted will vary with
the purpose of the encoding and the nature of the material.
This attribute is optional.
Remarks: The <gap>, <unclear>, and <del> core tag elements may be
closely allied in use with the <damage> and <supplied> elements,
available when using the additional tagset for transcription of
primary sources. See section 18.2.4, "The Use of the Gap, Del,
Damage, Unclear and Supplied Tags in Combination," on page 35 for
discussion of which element is appropriate for which circumstance.
