For many literary texts, a simple binary opposition between ‘fiction’ and ‘fact’ is naïve in the extreme; this parameter is not intended for purposes of subtle literary analysis, but as a simple means of characterizing the claimed fictiveness of a given text. No claim is made that works characterized as ‘fact’ are in any sense ‘true’.
Example
<factuality type="fiction"/>
Example
<factuality type="mixed">contains a mixture of gossip and
speculation about real people and events</factuality>
