Anmerkung

Wenn die Beschreibung innerhalb eines Spezifikationselements wie zum Beispiel elementSpec verwendet wird, empfiehlt die TEI, dass diese durch einen vollständigen Satz ausgedrückt wird, der mit einem Verb im Aktiv beginnt.

Beispiel
<desc>contains a brief description of the purpose and intended use of a documentation element, or a brief characterisation of a parent entity </desc>
SchematronA desc with a type of deprecationInfo should only occur when its parent element is being deprecated. Furthermore, it should always occur in an element that is being deprecated when desc is a valid child of that element.

<sch:rule context="tei:desc[ @type eq 'deprecationInfo']">
<sch:assert test="../@validUntil">Information about a
deprecation should only be present in a specification element
that is being deprecated: that is, only an element that has a
@validUntil attribute should have a child <desc
type="deprecationInfo">.</sch:assert>
