degree | Signifies the degree of damage according to a convenient scale. The damage tag
with the degree attribute should only be used where the text may be read with
some confidence; text supplied from other sources should be tagged as supplied.Status | Optional |
Datatype | |
Values | a coded representation of the degree of damage, either as
a number between 0 (undamaged) and 1 (very extensively damaged), or
as one of the codes high, medium, low. |
Note |
The damage tag with the degree attribute should only be used where
the text may be read with confidence despite the damage. It is appropriate where it is
desired to record the fact of damage, though this has not affected the readability of the
text (as may be the case with weathered inscriptional materials). Where the damage has
rendered the text more or less illegible either the unclear tag (for partial
illegibility) or the gap tag (for complete illegibility, with no text supplied)
should be used, with the information concerning the damage given in the attribute values
of these tags. See section 11.3.3.2 Use of the gap, del, damage, unclear, and
supplied Elements in Combination for discussion of the use of these tags
in particular circumstances.
