SIC
Description:
contains text reproduced although apparently incorrect or
inaccurate.
Attributes:
corr (i.e. correction): gives a correction for 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
<sic corr="a' babbled">a Table</sic>
of green fields.
This attribute is optional.
resp (i.e. responsibility): signifies the editor or transcriber
responsible for suggesting the correction held as the value
of the corr attribute.
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
Example:
The address is Southmoor <expan abbrev='Rd' resp=LB>Road</>.
Remarks: This attribute has no meaning if no corr attribute is
supplied.
This attribute is optional.
cert (i.e. certainty): signifies the degree of certainty ascribed
to the correction held as the value of the corr attribute.
Data type: CDATA
Default value: #IMPLIED
Remarks: This attribute has no meaning if no corr attribute is
supplied.
This attribute is optional.
Example:
If all that is desired is to call attention to the apparent
problem in the copy text, no attributes are required:
I don't know, Juan. It's so far in the past now —
how <sic>we can</sic> prove or disprove anyone's theories?
It is also possible to provide a correct reading and to identi-
fy the individual responsible for the correction:
I don't know, Juan. It's so far in the past now —
how <sic corr='can we' resp='MSM'>we can</sic> prove or
disprove anyone's theories?
Remarks: The <sic> tag is a mirror of
<corr>: the former leaves the original text untouched, giv-
ing the correction as an attribute value; the latter substitutes
the correction, leaving the original reading as an attribute val-
ue. The choice between them is up to the encoder.
