Attributes
status⚓︎ indicates the effect of the intervention, for example in the case of a deletion, strikeouts which include too much or too little text, or in the case of an addition, an insertion which duplicates some of the text already present.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
duplicate
all of the text indicated as an addition duplicates some text that is in the original, whether the duplication is word-for-word or less exact.
duplicate-partial
part of the text indicated as an addition duplicates some text that is in the original
excessStart
some text at the beginning of the deletion is marked as deleted even though it clearly should not be deleted.
excessEnd
some text at the end of the deletion is marked as deleted even though it clearly should not be deleted.
shortStart
some text at the beginning of the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be.
shortEnd
some text at the end of the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be.
partial
some text in the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be.
unremarkable
the deletion is not faulty. [Default]
Note

Status information on each deletion is needed rather rarely except in critical editions from authorial manuscripts; status information on additions is even less common.

Marking a deletion or addition as faulty is inescapably an interpretive act; the usual test applied in practice is the linguistic acceptability of the text with and without the letters or words in question.
cause⚓︎ documents the presumed cause for the intervention.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
seq⚓︎ (sequence) assigns a sequence number related to the order in which the encoded features carrying this attribute are believed to have occurred.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.count
