The structure and encoding of ParlaMint corpora
2024-12-03

Table of contents

1. Introduction

This document is meant to serve as a reference for the encoding of ParlaMint corpora of parliamentary proceedings. In order for the ParlaMint corpora to be interoperable (i.e. so that the same scripts can be used to process them), their structure is fairly rigid, both in terms of file names and folder structure, as well as their TEI XML encoding. This is not to say that all the corpora have to contain exactly the same information because we distinguish obligatory information, which all the corpora should contain, from that which is optional, and present only in the corpora for which it has been possible to gather it from the corpus sources.

This document is a specialisation of Parla-CLARIN, itself a customisation the TEI Guidelines. But while Parla-CLARIN gives fairly general recommendations for encoding corpora of parliamentary proceedings, ParlaMint, as mentioned, is much stricter. This document gives very specific encoding recommendations without necessarily stating the reasons for their choice. It covers the overall structure of ParlaMint corpora, the metadata they contain, the encoding of transcriptions, and, for the linguistically annotated version, the encoding of word-level linguistic annotatios, syntactic dependencies and named entities.

The document is not meant as a tutorial on TEI or ParlaMint, but as a reference to elements, their nesting and attributes exemplified by snippets from the existing ParlaMint corpora. Other sources can help in understanding the encoding of ParlaMint corpora:

The rest of these recommendations are structured as follows:

2. Overall corpus structure

2.1. XML structure

The parliamentary proceeding of one country of autonomous region constitute one ParlaMint corpus, which is stored as one XML document, with <teiCorpus> as its top-level element. It is composed of a <teiHeader>, giving the metadata for the corpus as a whole (further detailed in the Section on Corpus metadata), followed by a series of <TEI> elements that each contain one corpus component, as illustrated1 below:
             <!-- Corpus root --> <teiCorpus xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">   <teiHeader>...</teiHeader>   <TEI>...</TEI> <!-- Corpus component -->   <TEI>...</TEI> <!-- Corpus component -->   ...            <!-- More corpus components -->   </teiCorpus>           
Each corpus component should contain at most the transcripts for one day, although several components can contain the transcript for the same day, e.g. for different (types of) meetings. How and if these further subdivisions into separate components are realised is dependent on the corpus, as the granularity of parliamentary proceedings corpora, not to mention the national rules of structuring the workings of the parliament, differ substantially.
A corpus component will thus be rooted in the <TEI> element, which then contains its metadata in its own <teiHeader>, followed by the <text> element, which contains the transcription of the particular component, as illustrated below:
<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">  <teiHeader>...</teiHeader>  <text>...</text> </TEI>

The <teiHeader> of a corpus component (further detailed in the Section on Corpus metadata) contains the metadata specific for this component (along with some redundant metadata about the provenance), and which should be unique in the corpus, i.e. the corpus component metadata should distinguish it from all the other components of the corpus.

2.2. Use of XInclude

The fact that a corpus is one XML document does not mean that it is also stored in one file. In fact, ParlaMint requires that each corpus component is stored in a separate file, with the corpus root, i.e. the top-level <teiCorpus>, also stored as one file. Furthermore, some parts of the corpus root metadata are also stored in separate files.

To enable one XML document to be composed of many files, we use the XInclude mechanism, and the corpus root uses this mechanism (i.e. the <include> elements in the XInclude namespace) to include its corpus component files, so a corpus root will be in fact encoded similarly to the following example:
           <!-- Corpus root file --> <teiCorpus xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" >    <teiHeader>...</teiHeader>   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"       href="2014/ParlaMint-NL_2014-04-16.xml"/>  <!-- Corpus component file -->   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"       href="2014/ParlaMint-NL_2014-04-17.xml"/>  <!-- Corpus component file -->   ...                                            <!-- More corpus component files --> </teiCorpus>           

Apart from corpus components, some parts of the overall corpus metadata (i.e. the <teiCorpus> <teiHeader> element) are also stored as separate files, and hence also included in the corpus root using the same XInclude mechanism as explained above.

2.3. File names and directory structure

ParlaMint has strict rules on how to name the various files that constitute a corpus, and how to collect them in directories.

The file names have the the following structure:

  • The corpus root file name should start with the string ParlaMint-, followed by the ISO 3166 country (or automous region) code (cf. Section on Standard values) e.g. ParlaMint-NL.xml or ParlaMint-ES-CT.
  • For machine-translated corpora the ISO 639 code of the language (cf. Section on Standard values) should follow the country code, e.g. ParlaMint-NL-en.xml.
  • A corpus component filename should start with the name of the root, followed by an underscore and the ISO 8601 formatted date of the transcript, for example ParlaMint-IS_2015-01-21-54.xml. In case a corpus component is further distinguished, so that there are are several components with the same date, the corpus compilers are free to extend the file name by a hyphen and any suffix containing only ASCII letters and numbers and the hyphen character, e.g. ParlaMint-NL_2018-10-30-eerstekamer-4.xml or ParlaMint-CZ_2016-04-13-ps2013-044-02-016-098.xml
  • Certain metadata elements from the corpus root <teiHeader> are stored in separate files, in particular the list of speakers, <listPerson>, the list of political parties and other organisations, <listOrg>, and the ParlaMint structural and linguistic taxonomies, i.e. <taxonomy> elements. The file names for such metadata files start with the name of the corpus root, followed by a hyphen, and then the name of the element, e.g. ParlaMint-BE-listPerson.xml. Where there are more files for instances of the same element name, as is the case for taxonomies, the filename should end with another hypen, followed by the ID of the particular element, e.g. ParlaMint-BE-taxonomy-UD-SYN.xml. Finally, some of the taxonomies are not corpus-specific, i.e. identical files are used by all ParlaMint corpora. In this case, the country or region code is ommitted, e.g. ParlaMint-taxonomy-parla.legislature.xml.
  • The file names of the corpus as a whole or corpus components that have been automatically converted from the source XML into some other format should have the same name as the corpus root or components, respectively, but with appropriate file extensions, e.g, ParlaMint-IS_2015-01-21-54.txt; this is further explained in the Section on Conversions.
  • As discussed in the Chapter on Linguistic annotation we distinguish the linguistically annotated version of the corpus from the ‘plain-text’ one, with the linguistic annotated version having the additional suffix .ana on the corpus root and components, e.g. ParlaMint-ES-CT.ana.xml or ParlaMint-IS_2015-01-21-54.ana.xml.

For distribution the complete XML corpus should be stored in a directory that has the same name prefix as the corpus root file. The directory then contains the corpus root file and its metadata files, while the corpus components should be in subdirectories, one per year, for example:

 ParlaMint-BE.TEI/ParlaMint-BE.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/ParlaMint-BE-listPerson.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/ParlaMint-BE-listOrg.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/ParlaMint-taxonomy-parla.legislature.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/ParlaMint-taxonomy-speaker_types.xml
...
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/2014/ParlaMint-BE_2014-06-19.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/2014/ParlaMint-BE_2014-06-30.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/2014/ParlaMint-BE_2014-07-17.xml
...
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/2015/ParlaMint-BE_2015-01-06-54.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/2015/ParlaMint-BE_2015-01-07-54.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI/2015/ParlaMint-BE_2015-01-08-54.xml
...

The lingistically annotated version of the corpus is stored separately, with the main directory and, as mentioned, the corpus root and component filenames having the additional suffix .ana, e.g.

 ParlaMint-BE.TEI.ana/ParlaMint-BE.ana.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI.ana/ParlaMint-BE-listPerson.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI.ana/ParlaMint-BE-listOrg.xml
ParlaMint-BE.TEI.ana/ParlaMint-taxonomy-parla.legislature.xml

3. General requirements

This section gives some general requirements a ParlaMint corpus has to meet, in particular those relating to the characters in a corpus, and the use of standards. It also details the structure of the file names of the ParlaMint root and component files, as well as the attributes expected on the <teiCorpus> and <TEI> tags.

3.1. Characters

The corpus should be encoded in Unicode, using the UTF-8 character encoding, at least for European languages. In cases where the original contains characters from the Unicode Private Use Area, these should, if possible, be given their closest Unicode equivalents or substituted by the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD. End-of-line hyphens, if present in the source files, should be removed, and the split words joined in order to enhance searching the corpus and to simplify linguistic processing.

The following characters, esp. prevalent when the source documents were in Word or HTML, deserve special mention:

  • TAB (U+0009) character helps the alignment of strings on successive lines. As ParlaMint is not interested in preserving the layout, all TAB chacters are substituted by space characters (U+0020).
  • NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0) prevents, with some applications, an automatic line break at its position and also collapsing such consecutive characters into a single space. As the use of this character complicates (or breaks) further processing, esp. linguistic annotation, these characters should be substituted by the normal space character (U+0020). The same holds for other variants of spaces (U+2000 - U+200A), which are, however, used much less frequently.
  • NON-BREAKING HYPHEN (U+2011), similarly to NO-BREAK SPACE, prevents a line break, in this case following its position. With a similar reasoning as above, this character should be substituted by the normal hyphen character ('-', U+002D).
  • SOFT HYPHEN (U+00AD) indicates that a word can be hyphenated at that point. Occurrences of this character should be removed from the corpus.

Text-bearing elements should also not start or end with space characters, and sequences of whitespace characters should be changed into a single space.

3.2. Standard values

Whenever possible, ParlaMint uses standards for information coding. In particular, the following information must be standardised:

  • As the identity of a ParlaMint corpus is determined by the country or region of the particular parliament, its code appears in many places. For specifying these codes, the ISO 3166 standard should be used, in particular ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 for the two letter codes of the countries (for national parliaments) and ISO 3166-2 for the names of country subdivision (for parliaments of autonomous provinces,). So, for example, the country code for Spain is "ES", while the code for the autonomous Basque community is "ES-PV". Note that we use the term regional parliaments for such cases.
  • The codes for the languages used in the corpora (i.e. the possible values of the xml:lang attribute) should follow BCP 47 (cf. also xml:lang in XML document schemas. Essentially, this means that the value for a language code should have two letters, following ISO 639-1 or, and only if a two letter code does not exist for a language, the three-letter ISO 639-2/T code. For example, the code for Basque is 'eu'. ParlaMint corpora will use at least two languages, i.e. the language that the transcriptions are written in, which we will call the local language and English, as the meta-language, which is (also) used in the metadata.
  • Temporal, i.e. time-related information is typically stored in the when, from and to attributes of various elements. To specify a date or time as the value of these attributes, formatting according to the ISO 8601 standard should be used, e.g. 2022-04-01 for the 1st of April 2022. More information on temporal attributes is given in the Section on Temporal attributes.

3.3. Attributes of top-level elements

The Chapter on Overall corpus structure introduced the top level elements of the corpus root file and of the component files (i.e. the <teiCorpus> and <TEI> elements), but did not elaborate on their attributes; these are presented in this section.

The corpus root has three required attributes, as shown below:
             <teiCorpus xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"             xml:id="ParlaMint-FR"             xml:lang="fr">           
All three attributes can also be used on any other element, and are thus of special importance:
  • xmlns determines the namespace of the element, and this should always be the TEI namespace, i.e. http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0. Note that all lower level elements in the same file inherit this namespace, so it is not necessary (although it is not an error) for other elements to also define their namespace.
  • xml:id is an attribute form the (implicitly assumed) XML namespace, and gives the identifier for the corpus root or component. The value of an ID should be unique in the corpus as a whole and should obey format requirements as defined by W3C. For the corpus root, as well as for the components, it is required that this top level identifier is identical to the file name (without the file extension). The xml:id is a global attribute, so any element can have it. While this is not required, it is necessary for any element that is then referred to (via this same ID) by some other element, such as many elements in the <teiHeader>, as is explained in the Section on Corpus metadata. The subordinate elements in the transcription that have an ID (such as utterances and segments), are recommended to have the top level xml:id as a prefix and to indicate the element name in the ID. For example, if the top level ID is ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06, the first utterance would have the ID ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06-lords.u1 and the first segment ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06-lords.seg1. The number of the element should not have leading zeros.
  • xml:lang is also a global attribute and gives the language code of the text content of the element; for the corpus root this does not (just) mean the content of its TEI header, but primarily the textual content of its XIncluded components. The convention is that language of the text content of an element is determined by the value of the first xml:lang attribute on its ancestor axis. In cases where the content is multilingual, the language code should be of the majority language. When the proportion of the languages is about equal, then the mul code for multiple languages can also be used.
A corpus component also has the same three required attributes, but additionally also the ana attribute:
             <TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"       xml:id="ParlaMint-FR_2017-07-04-E1001"       xml:lang="fr"       ana="#parla.sitting #reference">           
The same as for the corpus root, the component also sets the TEI namespace, and gives the language of its textual content, while its xml:id, of course, identifies the particular component. The ana attribute is a pointing attribute, and we introduce the these attributes in the next section.

3.4. Pointing attributes

The ParlaMint encoding uses pointing attributes for a number of purposes, e.g. for references to taxonomy categories, to speaker metadata, or to linguistic categories.

While a few elements have dedicated pointing attributes, there are three generally used ones. They share the characteristics that they are all used by a large number of different elements and that their value is a series of pointers, i.e. a white-space delimited sequence of references to the values of some xml:id attribute in the corpus or, in general, to an URI. The three attributes are:

  • ana serves to provide an analysis or to classify an element according to some pre-determined vocabulary. In ParlaMint the target element will typically be a category in a taxonomy, an event or date, or an organisation.
  • corresp points to items that correspond to the current element in some way, e.g. the (URL of a) media file to a page break.
  • ref provides an explicit reference to the full definition or identity for the entity being named. In ParlaMint it is used e.g. for connecting a person's affiliation with a particular organisation. The value of this attribute is often, but not always, an URL, e.g. for associating a place name with its GeoNames URL.
To illustrate, the example below gives some elements that contain one or more of these attributes:
<meeting ana="#parla.upper #parla.term #LEG.18">18 Legislatura</meeting> ... <affiliation ref="#group.L-SP-PSd.Az"  role="memberana="#LEG.18from="2018-03-27"/> ... <placeName ref="https://www.geonames.org/2523918">Palermo</placeName> ... <link ana="ud-syn:det"  target="#ParlaMint-IT.seg1.2.6 #ParlaMint-IT.seg1.2.5"/>
The first example, with the <meeting> element classifies it (the definitions are given in the relevant taxonomy) as a meeting of the upper house, in the scope of a parlimentary term, specifically in the XVIII Legislative Term. The example with <affiliation> (again, the definitions are given the elements with the pointed-to ID) specifies that the (person that has this) affiliation is a member of the parliamentary group ‘Lega-Salvini Premier-Partito Sardo d'Azione’ in the scope of the XVIII Legislative Term. The <placeName> example gives the definition of Palermo in the GeoNames database via the used URL. Finally, the <link> example illustrates a Universal Dependencies determiner syntactic link between two tokens. The link uses the TEI extended pointer syntax, further explained in the Section on Prefix definitions.

It is often difficult to decide which of the attribute to use for a particular pointer, therefore examples of usage given with the relevant element should be always consulted.

3.5. Temporal attributes

ParlaMint makes a lot of use of temporal information, e.g. to determine when a session took place or the period when a certain person was an MP. As mentioned in the Section on Standard values, the ISO 8601 format should be used to specify the dates or times.

The following attributes are used to specify temporal information:

  • The when attribute is used when the temporal information refers to a point in time, typically a date, and is used e.g. to give the date when the corpus was published, or when a change in the corpus was made.
  • The from and to attributes give the starting and ending date or time of an interval, e.g. the time period the corpus covers, or the period when a person was an MP. If only one of the two attributes is present, then the assumption is that this interval extends at least to the start (if from is missing) or after the end (if to is missing) of time period that the particular ParlaMint corpus covers. Similary, if both attributes are missing, the assumption is that the interval covers the complete time period of the ParlaMint corpus.

4. Corpus metadata

As mentioned, <teiCorpus> and <TEI> elements contain the obligatory <teiHeader> element, which stores the metadata to the corpus root or component. In this section we explain and give examples of the required and optional metadata that is contained in the <teiHeader>, proceeding through its various elements, and there distinguishing which parts and what content is appropriate for the corpus root, and which for a corpus component.

As a general remark, most metadata contains free text, and it is a requirement of ParlaMint that this data is given in the English language, to help researchers for other countries to understand it, and it is recommended to also give it in the local language in which the (main portion of) parliamentary transcripts is written, for a local researcher to be able to use it in their native tongue.

A ParlaMint <teiHeader> contains three obligatory elements: the file description, <fileDesc>, the encoding description, <encodingDesc>, and the profile description, <profileDesc>, and an optional revision description, <revisionDesc>:
<teiHeader>  <fileDesc>...</fileDesc>  <encodingDesc>...</encodingDesc>  <profileDesc>...</profileDesc>  <revisionDesc>...</revisionDesc> </teiHeader>
Below we explain each of these element in turn.

4.1. File description

The file description, <fileDesc> is composed of five obligatory elements, namely the title statement, <titleStmt>, the edition statement, <editionStmt>, the extent, <extent>, the publication statement, <publicationStmt>, and the source description, <sourceDesc>:
<fileDesc>  <titleStmt>...</titleStmt>  <editionStmt>...</editionStmt>  <extent>...</extent>  <publicationStmt>...</publicationStmt>  <sourceDesc>...</sourceDesc> </fileDesc>

4.1.1. Title statement

The title statement, <titleStmt> gives the title of the corpus root or component, along with the specification of the particular session(s) of the parliament contained, the persons responsible for compiling the corpus, and the funder(s) of the project.

This structure is exemplified by the following corpus root title statement:
<titleStmt>  <title type="main">Slovenski parlamentarni korpus ParlaMint-SI [ParlaMint]</title>  <title type="mainxml:lang="en">Slovenian parliamentary corpus ParlaMint-SI [ParlaMint]</title>  <title type="sub">Zapisi sej Državnega zbora Republike Slovenije, 7. in 8. mandat (2014 - 2020)</title>  <title type="subxml:lang="en">Minutes of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, Term 7 and 8 (2014 - 2020)</title>  <meeting n="7corresp="#DZ"   ana="#parla.lower #parla.term #DZ.7">7. mandat</meeting>  <meeting n="8corresp="#DZ"   ana="#parla.lower #parla.term #DZ.8">8. mandat</meeting>  <respStmt>   <persName ref="https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6143-6877">Andrej Pančur</persName>   <persName ref="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1560-4099">Tomaž Erjavec</persName>   <resp>Kodiranje ParlaMint TEI XML</resp>   <resp xml:lang="en">ParlaMint TEI XML corpus encoding</resp>  </respStmt>  <funder>   <orgName>Raziskovalna infrastruktura CLARIN</orgName>   <orgName xml:lang="en">The CLARIN research infrastructure</orgName>  </funder>  <funder>   <orgName>Slovenska raziskovalna infrastruktura CLARIN.SI</orgName>   <orgName xml:lang="en">The Slovenian research infrastructure CLARIN.SI</orgName>  </funder> </titleStmt>
The title statement starts with two titles (one main, the other subordinate), both in English and the local language, with the appropriate language code possibly inherited from a superordinate element. They are distinguished by the value main or sub of their type attribute and the value of their xml:lang attribute.

The main title has a formulaic structure ‘<Country name> parliamentary corpus ParlaMint-<Country code> [ParlaMint]’, with an equivalent structure for the local language. Note that the corpus ‘stamp’ in square brackets can also be ‘[ParlaMint.ana]’ for the linguistically annotated version of the corpus (as explained in the Chapter on Linguistic annotation) or ‘[ParlaMint SAMPLE]’ for corpus data samples, as available on the ParlaMint GitHub repository.

The subordinate title, in contrast to the main one, is free text, and usually formed on the basis of the source of the corpus. As with the main one, it should be given in both languages.

After the titles come the specification of the particular sessions that the corpus contains, encoded as <meeting> elements: the two meeting elements in the above example state that the ParlaMint-SI corpus contains the meetings of the 7th and 8th terms of the lower house of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia. The <meeting> elements can give, as the value of their n attribute, the numbers of the meetings that the corpus covers, and their text content can give a free-text description of the meetings in the local language.

The formal information on the meetings is given in the values of the corresp and ana attributes, which are pointing attributes, as already explained in the Section on Attributes of top-level elements. Here they refer to the definition of organisations further explained in the Section on Organisations and the categories of taxonomy elements, further explained in the Section on the Class declaration. The value of the corresp attribute points to the governmental body of which a particular meeting element is a meeting of (in this case the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia), while the ana attribute contains a space-delimited sequence of pointers: #parla.lower points to the definition of the lower house, #parla.term to the definition of a parliamentary term, and #DZ.7 to the definition of the seventh mandate.

Next come one or more responsibility statements, <respStmt>, each one containing one or more person names, <persName>, with an optional ref attribute, giving the URL, where more information about the person can be found, and the responsibility element <resp>, which specifies what responsibility the statement is about.

In a similar manner, the <funder> elements give information on the organisations which have financially contributed to the compilation of the corpus, with the names of the organisations given in the <orgName> elements.

A corpus component has a very similar title statement to the corpus root, except that certain elements specify the metadata of the component, rather than the complete corpus. The also contain some redundant metadata, in particular, the responsibility statement and the funder, as illustrated in the example below:
<titleStmt>  <title type="main">Slovenski parlamentarni korpus ParlaMint-SI, izredna seja 59 [ParlaMint]</title>  <title type="mainxml:lang="en">Slovenian parliamentary corpus ParlaMint-SI, Extraordinary Session 59 [ParlaMint]</title>  <title type="sub">Zapisi sej Državnega zbora Republike Slovenije, 7. mandat, 59. izredna seja, 13.4.2018</title>  <title type="subxml:lang="en">Minutes of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, Term 7, Extraordinary Session 59, 13.4.2018</title>  <meeting n="59corresp="#DZ"   ana="#parla.lower #parla.meeting.extraordinary">Izredna</meeting>  <meeting n="7corresp="#DZ"   ana="#parla.lower #parla.term #DZ.7">7. mandat</meeting>  <respStmt>   <persName>Andrej Pančur</persName>   <resp>Kodiranje TEI</resp>   <resp xml:lang="en">TEI corpus encoding</resp>  </respStmt>  <funder>   <orgName>Raziskovalna infrastruktura CLARIN</orgName>   <orgName xml:lang="en">The CLARIN research infrastructure</orgName>  </funder>  <funder>   <orgName>Slovenska raziskovalna infrastruktura CLARIN.SI</orgName>   <orgName xml:lang="en">The Slovenian research infrastructure CLARIN.SI</orgName>  </funder> </titleStmt>
In the example it can be seen that the main title of a corpus component is simply an extension of the corpus root title, as it also gives the name of the particular meeting that the component contains, while the subordinate title is, again, free text. Both titles must be unique in the complete corpus.

The other difference is in the <meeting> elements, which here specify a particular meeting of the corpus component transcription. In the exmple above, this is an extraordinary meeting of the lower house in the seventh term of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia.

4.1.2. Edition statement

ParlaMint corpora have their edition statement, <editionStmt> both in the corpus root and components. As illustrated below, the only element it contains is <edition>:
<editionStmt>  <edition>3.0</edition> </editionStmt>
We use semantic versioning to specify the version of the corpus, i.e. giving the version number, where a new major version means substantial changes to the corpus, while the minor version is reserved for e.g. correcting errata or other minor changes. We do not use the patch number. It should be noted that - at least so far - all the ParlaMint corpora were released together, so that they are all of the same edition, i.e. have the same version number. At the time of writing, the latest version is 2.1, with the next one planned to be 3.0.

4.1.3. Extents

The <extent> element gives information on selected sizes of the complete corpus (in the corpus root) or of one corpus component, as illustrated below in the case of a corpus root extent:
<extent>  <measure unit="speechesquantity="75122"   xml:lang="sl">75.122 govorov</measure>  <measure unit="speechesquantity="75122"   xml:lang="en">75,122 speeches</measure>  <measure unit="wordsquantity="20190034"   xml:lang="sl">20.190.034 besed</measure>  <measure unit="wordsquantity="20190034"   xml:lang="en">20,190,034 words</measure> </extent>
ParlaMint requires two sizes to be given, and in both languages, which are distinguished by their unit attribute, namely the number of speeches and the number of words. The exact quantity is given in the quantity attribute, while the text content of <measure> gives the quantity together with the unit - if possible, the number here should contain the thousands separator appropriate for the language.

It should be noted that both sizes are somewhat complex to compute and are inserted into the TEI headers in the finalisation of a corpus (cf. the Section on Finalisation of corpora) by a common script, so it is not necessary to insert the extent in the process of developing a ParlaMint corpus.

4.1.4. Publication statement

The publication statement <publicationStmt> must appear in the corpus root as well as, in identical form, in the corpus components. As illustrated below, it contains information about the publisher of the corpus, the persistent identifier where the complete corpus can be found, under which licence it is distributed, and when it was released:
<publicationStmt>  <publisher>   <orgName xml:lang="sl">Raziskovalna infrastrukutra CLARIN</orgName>   <orgName xml:lang="en">CLARIN research infrastructure</orgName>   <ref target="https://www.clarin.eu/">www.clarin.eu</ref>  </publisher>  <idno type="URIsubtype="handle">http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1432</idno>  <availability status="free">   <licence>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</licence>   <p xml:lang="sl">To delo je ponujeno pod   <ref target="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Priznanje avtorstva 4.0        mednarodna licenca</ref>.</p>   <p xml:lang="en">This work is licensed under the   <ref target="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0        International License</ref>.</p>  </availability>  <date when="2021-06-11">11. 6. 2023</date> </publicationStmt>
The <publisher> is, at least for the corpora produced in the scope of the CLARIN ParlaMint project, the CLARIN research infrastructure, and the element also gives the home page of the infrastructure. The ‘identifier number’ element, <idno>, specifies via its type and subtype attributes with fixed values URI and handle that the identifier is a handle, and contains the handle where the complete corpus corresponding to the specified version can be found. The <availability> specifiers, via its <licence> element the fixed-value CC BY 4.0 URL, and in the following paragraph gives a prose description of the licence, including its URL via the target attribute of <ref>. As usual, the textual information is given in both languages. Finally, the <date> gives the date of the release, where the when gives the date in the ISO 8601 format, while the textual content can give it according to the conventions used in the local language.

4.1.5. Source description

The source description <sourceDesc> of the corpus root encodes the original digital source of the ParlaMint corpus in the <bibl> element, as shown in the following example:
<sourceDesc>  <bibl>   <title type="mainxml:lang="sl">Zapisi sej Državnega zbora Republike Slovenije</title>   <title type="mainxml:lang="en">Minutes of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia</title>   <idno type="URI">https://www.dz-rs.si</idno>   <date from="2014-08-01to="2020-07-16">1.8.2014 - 16.7.2020</date>  </bibl> </sourceDesc>
Apart from the bi-lingual <title>s, it should also give in <idno> with the fixed type as URI the government URL where the transcripts were first harvested from, while the dates of the earliest and latest transcript in the corpus are indicated by the from and to attributes of the <date> element. As usual, the values of these attributes should be according to ISO 8601, while the textual content can be formatted according to the local rules for writing dates.
For corpus components the source description is very similar to the one for the corpus root, except that the <title> can be modified to constrain the description to the exact meeting the component contains. The <date> element must, of course, specify the exact date when the meeting took place. If the transcription of the meeting is avilable on the Web, the <idno> should give this URL. Furthermore, if the audio or video of the meeting is available, this information can be given in the <recodingStmt>, as illustrated in the example below:
<sourceDesc>  <bibl>   <title type="mainxml:lang="cs">Parlament České republiky, Poslanecká sněmovna</title>   <title type="mainxml:lang="en">Parliament of the Czech Republic, Chamber of Deputies</title>   <idno type="URI">https://www.psp.cz/eknih/2013ps/stenprot/044schuz/s044033.htm</idno>   <date when="2016-04-13">13.04.2016</date>  </bibl>  <recordingStmt>   <recording type="audio">    <media xml:id="ps2013-044-02-000-000.audio1"     mimeType="audio/mp3"     source="https://www.psp.cz/eknih/2013ps/audio/2016/04/13/2016041308580912.mp3"     url="2013ps/audio/2016/04/13/2016041308580912.mp3"/>   </recording>  </recordingStmt> </sourceDesc>

As the example shows, the recording statement contains a <recording> element, which specifies the type of the recording (audio or video), and then contains a <media> element giving the ID of the file, its mimeType, the URL of the source of the recording (typically the official governmental site for parliamentary proceedings) and the local (possibly processed) copy of the file; this can be a local file, even though it won't be distributed together with the ParlaMint corpus or, better, a Web-based file on a stable location.

4.2. Encoding description

The encoding description <encodingDesc> of the corpus root contains the following elements:
<encodingDesc>  <projectDesc>...</projectDesc>  <editorialDecl>...</editorialDecl>  <tagsDecl>...</tagsDecl>  <classDecl>...</classDecl> </encodingDesc>

In contrast, the encoding description of a corpus component contains only two elements, namely (and redundantly) the <projectDesc> and the <tagsDecl>.

4.2.1. Project description

The project description <projectDesc> of the corpus root contains a short description of the project in the scope of which the corpus was compiled:
<projectDesc>  <p xml:lang="sl">Glavni cilji projekta <ref target="https://www.clarin.eu/content/parlamint">ParlaMint</ref> so    (1) izdelati večjezično množico na enak način kodiranih korpusov    zapiskov parlamentarnih sej, (2) jezikoslovno označiti te korpuse; (3)    narediti korpuse dostopne za prevzem in prek konkordančnikov; in (4)    pripraviti primere uporabe korpusov v politologiji in digitalni    humanistiki.</p>  <p xml:lang="en">The <ref target="https://www.clarin.eu/content/parlamint">ParlaMint</ref>    project aims to (1) create a multilingual set of uniformly encoded    comparable corpora of parliamentary proceedings (2) process the    corpora linguistically; (3) make the corpora available for download    and through concordancers; and (4) build use cases in Political    Sciences and Digital Humanities based on the corpus data.</p> </projectDesc>
The description above is written for the CLARIN ParlaMint project and the English language part can be used as is in the produced corpora for version 3.

4.2.2. Editorial declaration

The editorial declaration, <editorialDecl> is used only in the corpus root and contains prose descriptions of the editorial decision made in the process of compiling the corpus, along several dimensions, in particular what, if any types of <correction>, <normalization>, <quotation>, <hyphenation>, and <segmentation> was performed on the source texts of the corpus. The example below illustrates the use of these elements:
<editorialDecl>  <correction>   <p xml:lang="en">No correction of source texts was performed.</p>  </correction>  <normalization>   <p xml:lang="en">Text has not been normalised, except for spacing.</p>  </normalization>  <hyphenation>   <p xml:lang="en">No end-of-line hyphens were present in the source.</p>  </hyphenation>  <quotation>   <p xml:lang="en">Quotation marks have been left in the text and are not explicitly marked up.</p>  </quotation>  <segmentation>   <p xml:lang="en">The texts are segmented into utterances (speeches) and segments (corresponding to paragraphs in the source transcription).</p>  </segmentation> </editorialDecl>

4.2.3. Tags declaration

The tags declaration, <tagsDecl> of the corpus root gives the count of all the XML tags used in the data part (so, not in the TEI header) of the corpus (for the corpus root) or in an individual component of the corpus. To distinguish the TEI elements from the possible use of elements from other namespaces, a <namespace> element giving the TEI namespace in its name attribute is introduced first. Inside it, each TEI tag is listed in its own <tagUsage> element, with the attribute gi giving the name of the tag and occurs the number of occurrences, as shown in the following example:
<tagsDecl>  <namespace name="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">   <tagUsage gi="textoccurs="414"/>   <tagUsage gi="bodyoccurs="414"/>   <tagUsage gi="divoccurs="414"/>   <tagUsage gi="headoccurs="826"/>   <tagUsage gi="uoccurs="75122"/>   <tagUsage gi="segoccurs="280971"/>   <tagUsage gi="noteoccurs="85525"/>   <tagUsage gi="gapoccurs="7897"/>   <tagUsage gi="vocaloccurs="1740"/>   <tagUsage gi="incidentoccurs="37"/>   <tagUsage gi="kinesicoccurs="560"/>   <tagUsage gi="descoccurs="10234"/>  </namespace> </tagsDecl>
It should be noted that similar to the extents (as explained in the Section on Extents) the tag usage is inserted into the TEI headers in the finalisation of a corpus (cf. the Section on Validation and conversion) by a common script, so it is not necessary to compute it the process of developing a ParlaMint corpus.

4.2.4. Class declaration and taxonomies

The class declaration, <classDecl> is used only in the corpus root and contains only definitions of some controlled vocabularies used in ParlaMint corpora. These vocabularies, possibly hierarchically organised, are encoded using the <taxonomy> element.

The taxonomies themselves are stored in separate files, and are typically ParlaMint-wide, i.e. all corpora use the same taxonomies. The taxonomies are included in the document root with the XInclude directive, as illustrated below, for the case of the Czech corpus:
<classDecl>   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"       href="ParlaMint-taxonomy-parla.legislature.xml"/>    <!-- Common taxonomy on parliament legislature -->   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"       href="ParlaMint-CZ-taxonomy-meeting.parts.xml"/>     <!-- CZ-specific taxonomy with additional categories for meetings -->   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"       href="ParlaMint-taxonomy-speaker_types.xml"/>        <!-- Common taxonomy on types of speakers -->   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"       href="ParlaMint-taxonomy-subcorpus.xml"/>            <!-- Common taxonomy on predeterimentd subcorpora -->   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"        href="ParlaMint-taxonomy-politicalOrientation.xml"/> <!-- Common taxonomy on L-R political orientations of pol. parties -->   <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"        href="ParlaMint-taxonomy-CHES.xml"/>                 <!-- Common taxonomy on CHES variables of pol. parties --> </classDecl>
As can be seen, three of the taxonomies are general ParlaMint taxonomies, while two are corpus specific, and are distinguished by including the country code CZ (followed by hyphen) into the filename.
To illustrate the structure of a taxonomy element, we give below the simplest common taxonomy (and include only the descriptions in English), which contains the categories that define the three subcorpora of a ParlaMint corpus:
<classDecl> ... <taxonomy xml:id="ParlaMint-taxonomy-subcorpus"   xml:lang="mul">   <desc xml:lang="en">    <term>Subcorpora</term>   </desc>   <category xml:id="reference">    <catDesc xml:lang="en">     <term>Reference</term>: reference subcorpus, until 2020-01-30</catDesc>   </category>   <category xml:id="covid">    <catDesc xml:lang="en">     <term>COVID</term>: COVID subcorpus, from 2020-01-31 onwards, when WHO made the        formal declaration of PHEIC, i.e. the Public Health Emergency of International Concern for COVID-19</catDesc>   </category>   <category xml:id="war">    <catDesc xml:lang="en">     <term>War</term>: War in Ukraine subcorpus, from 2022-02-24 onwards, i.e. from        Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine</catDesc>   </category>  </taxonomy> </classDecl>
A <taxonomy> thus first describes, via <desc>, what it is a taxonomy of, and then lists (the possibly nested) categories in <category> elements. Crucial here are the values of their xml:id attributes, by which a category is referred to, e.g. via the ana attribute of some other element, as was already explained in the Section on Attributes of top-level elements, in connection with classifying a corpus component via the ana attribute of its <TEI> element. The taxonomy category then bilingually glosses its meaning in its <catDesc> elements, which should always first contain the short name of the category, encoded in the <term> element.

ParlaMint requires several taxonomies to be defined in the class declaration of the corpus root (as well as a additionaly ones for the linguistically annotated corpus, as further described in the Section on Linguistic metadata). As mentioned, these taxonomies are defined globally and available as part of the data on the ParlaMint GitHub repository, and there is a special procedure modifying them, in particular on how to insert translations of a new language.

The five obligatory taxonomies are:

  • The subcorpus taxonomy, already given in the example
  • The taxonomy of speaker types, which distinguishes e.g. the chair of a meeting, ordinary speakers, and guest speakers.
  • The legislature taxonomy, which gives the possible organisations of a parliament, and is by far the most complex one.
  • The political orientation taxonomy, which gives the values of the (mostly) left-right political orientation of political parties and parliamentary groups.
  • The CHES variables taxonomy, which gives the variables of the Chapel Hill Survey on political parties (cf. the Section on Political parties and parliamentary groups).

Furhtermore, there are two obligatory taxonomies which pertain to the linguistically analysed version of the corpus only, cf. the Section on Linguistic taxonomies.

4.3. Profile description

The profile description, <profileDesc> is the third main division of the metadata provided by the TEI header. It contains a description of non-bibliographic aspects of the corpus, for example the list of speakers with their metadata. For the corpus root, it contains four elements, of which only the first, the <settingDesc> is used in corpus components. The elements are listed below:
<profileDesc>  <settingDesc>...</settingDesc>  <textClass>...</textClass>  <particDesc>...</particDesc>  <langUsage>...</langUsage> </profileDesc>
We explain the contents of each element in the following sections.

4.3.1. Setting description

The setting description, <settingDesc>, is used by both the corpus root and corpus components, and contains only one element, <setting>, which then gives information on where and when the meetings included took place. The example below gives a typicaly corpus root setting description:
<settingDesc>  <setting>   <name type="place">Westminster</name>   <name type="city">London</name>   <name type="countrykey="GB">U.K.</name>   <date from="2015-01-01to="2021-03-31"/>  </setting> </settingDesc>
As can be seen, the location of the meeting is given in <name> elements with the type attribute further specifying what kind of location this is, with country (or region for regional parliaments) additionally having the key, which gives is ISO 3166 code, as explained in the Section on Standard values. For the corpus root it also contains the interval of the dates of the transcripts included in the corpus. Note that this date range is also given in the <sourceDesc>, as explained in the Section on the Source description.
The setting description is also present in corpus components, and is very similar to the one in the corpus root, except that it can additionally specify the location of the meeting and must give its exact date, as illustrated below:
<settingDesc>  <setting>   <name type="place">Commons Chamber</name>   <name type="place">Westminster</name>   <name type="city">London</name>   <name type="countrykey="GB">U.K.</name>   <date when="2019-02-18">February 18th, 2019</date>  </setting> </settingDesc>

4.3.2. Text class

The text class, <textClass> groups information which describes the nature or topic of the corpus in terms of a standard classification scheme. It is used only in the ParlaMint corpus root, where it contains the category reference, <catRef> element:
<textClass>  <catRef scheme="#parla.legislature"   target="#parla.bi #parla.lower #parla.upper"/> </textClass>
The category reference specifies in the value of the scheme attribute which scheme it uses, and this will always be a pointer to the ParlaMint-wide taxonomy on legislature, as further explained in the Section on the Class declaration. The target attribute then gives pointers to the kind of legislature types the country or region has and what the corpus contains; in the case above, the country has a bicameral parliament, and the corpus contains the transcriptions of both the upper and lower house sittings. In general, the options are:
  • #parla.uni: Unicameral parliament
  • #parla.bi #parla.lower: Bicameral parliament, lower house only
  • #parla.bi #parla.upper: Bicameral parliament, upper house only
  • #parla.bi #parla.lower #parla.upper: Bicameral parliament, both houses

4.3.3. Participant description

The participant description, <particDesc> gives the information about about the speakers whose speeches constitute the corpus transcripts, as well as information about the government, parliament, parliamentary groups of political parties and other ‘organisations’ relevant to the affiliations of the speaker or the corpus in general. The <particDesc> is a part of the TEI header of the corpus root and contains two dedicated types of lists, <listOrg> for organisations, and <listPerson> for the speakers, as shown below:
<particDesc>  <listOrg>...</listOrg>  <listPerson>...</listPerson> </particDesc>
While the above gives the XML structure of the participant description, ParlaMint separates the organisation and person list into separate files (cf. the Section on File names and directory structure), so the actual encoding would be (for the CZ corpus) as follows:
<particDesc> <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="ParlaMint-CZ-listOrg.xml"/> <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="ParlaMint-CZ-listPerson.xml"/> </particDesc>

Given the importance that ParlaMint gives to the information on speakers and their affiliations to (political) organisations, as well as the richness of this information, the content of <listOrg> and <listPerson> is further explained in a separate Chapter on Speakers and their organisations.

4.3.4. Language usage

The language usage, <langUsage> is the fourth and last element of the profile description of a corpus root and defines the languages that are used in the corpus. Typically the language use will define (bilingually) only two languages, the local language and English, as the language used in the metadata, for example:
<langUsage>  <language ident="slxml:lang="sl">slovenski</language>  <language ident="enxml:lang="sl">angleški</language>  <language ident="slxml:lang="en">Slovenian</language>  <language ident="enxml:lang="en">English</language> </langUsage>
In cases where the transcription contains more than one language, the percentage of their use can also be indicated in the usage element of the <language> elements, as illustrated in the example below:
<langUsage>  <language ident="enxml:lang="en">English</language>  <language ident="enxml:lang="nl">Engels</language>  <language usage="45ident="nl"   xml:lang="en">Dutch</language>  <language usage="45ident="nl"   xml:lang="nl">Nederlands</language>  <language usage="55ident="fr"   xml:lang="en">French</language>  <language usage="55ident="fr"   xml:lang="nl">Frans</language> </langUsage>

4.4. Revision description

The revision description, <revisionDesc> is the fourth, and last element of the TEI header. It is an optional element that can appear in the corpus root or component, and documents the revisions made in the corpus or component. Its structure is illustrated below:
<revisionDesc>  <change when="2021-06-11">   <name>Tomaž Erjavec</name>: Finalized encoding.</change>  <change when="2021-05-28">   <name>Tomaž Erjavec</name>: Built corpus.</change> </revisionDesc>
The revision description consists of a series of <change> elements, with the attribute when giving the date of the change, and the content containing the <name> of the person responsible for the change, and a free-text description of the change.

5. Speakers and their organisations

ParlaMint places considerable emphasis of including in the corpora significant information about the persons giving the speeches contained in the transcriptions. This is why, even though this information is encoded in the <particDesc> element of the <teiHeader> of the corpus root (cf. the Chapter on Participant description) we treat it here in a separate Chapter. Below we first discuss the information on persons, including how they are affiliated with (political) organisation, and then explain the encoding of these organisations.

5.1. Speakers

The information on speakers is given in the <listPerson> element of the <particDesc> element (cf. the Section on Participant description). This element contains the series of <person> elements, each of which gives information on an individual speaker, as the example below illustrates:
<listPerson>  <person xml:id="AccettoMatej">   <persName>    <surname>Accetto</surname>    <forename>Matej</forename>   </persName>   <sex value="M"/>  </person> ... </listPerson>
Each <person> must have an xml:id attribute, so that it can be referred to from the transcription. The person's name, <persName> gives the name of the person which is further decomposed into the person <surname>(s), <forename>(s) and possibly <addName>. A person's name can also change, typically because of marriage. In this case, the <person> should contain another (or, possibly, several) <persName> elements, each marked by the from and/or to temporal attributes, as shown in the following example:
<person xml:id="GlawischnigAnna">  <persName to="2016-06-01">   <surname>Glawischnig</surname>   <forename>Anna</forename>  </persName>  <persName from="2016-06-02">   <surname>Glawischnig-Piesczek</surname>   <forename>Anna</forename>  </persName> ... </person>
Note that the to/from dates should not overlap, neither should they have gaps in them, as this would mean that the person could have either two names at once, or none.

The person must also have the <sex> element, with the value attribute being one of the controlled values: M for male, F for female, O for other, N for none or U for unknown.

The person element can also contain other optional information, i.e. the date and place of <birth> (and <death>), their official Web page, link(s) to Wikipedia, their VIAF, or photo, as illustrated below:
<person xml:id="SayeedaWarsi">  <persName>   <forename>Sayeeda</forename>   <surname>Warsi</surname>  </persName>  <sex value="F"/>  <birth when="1971-03-28">   <placeName ref="https://www.geonames.org/2651286/">Dewsbury</placeName>  </birth>  <idno type="URIsubtype="contact">https://members.parliament.uk/member/3839/contact</idno>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayeeda_Warsi,_Baroness_Warsi</idno>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia"   xml:lang="es">https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayeeda_Warsi</idno>  <idno type="URIsubtype="viaf">http://viaf.org/viaf/33149912470406211798</idno>  <figure>   <graphic url="https://api.parliament.uk/photo/Paa3j0vS.jpg?crop=CU_1:1"/>  </figure> </person>
Finally, the name of the person, their place of birth etc. can als be written in several languages or scripts, as illustrated below:
<person xml:id="PlevnelievRosen">  <persName xml:lang="bg">   <forename>Росен</forename>   <surname>Асенов</surname>   <surname>Плевнелиев</surname>  </persName>  <persName xml:lang="en">   <forename>Rosen</forename>   <surname>Asenov</surname>   <surname>Plevneliev</surname>  </persName>  <sex value="M"/>  <birth when="1964-05-14">   <placeName>Гоце Делчев</placeName>   <placeName xml:lang="bg-Latn">Gotse Delchev</placeName>  </birth>  <education>Висшия машинно-електротехнически институт в София, със специалност „изчислителна техника“</education>  <education xml:lang="bg-Latn">Visshiya mashinno-elektrotehnicheski institut v Sofiya, sas spetsialnost „izchislitelna tehnika“</education>  <occupation>политик</occupation>  <occupation xml:lang="bg-Latn">politik</occupation>  <affiliation from="2012-01-22"   ref="#republic.Bulgariarole="memberto="2017-01-21"/>  <affiliation from="2012-01-22"   ref="#republic.Bulgariarole="headto="2017-01-21">   <roleName xml:lang="bg">4-и президент на Република България</roleName>   <roleName xml:lang="bg-Latn">4-i prezident na Republika Balgariya</roleName>  </affiliation>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia">https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Росен_Плевнелиев</idno>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosen_Plevneliev</idno> </person>

5.1.1. Speaker affiliations

And important element of a person is <affiliation>, which associates the speakers with organisations, i.e. it specifies who is a member of the government, parliament, a parliamentary group of political parties2 or political parties themselves, as well as who holds a relevant office, e.g. that they are the president, chairman, minister etc. in or of a given organisation. The following example shows the use of the <affiliation> element for specifying membership in organisations:
<person xml:id="BahŽibertAnja">  <persName>   <forename>Anja</forename>   <surname>Žibert</surname>  </persName>  <sex value="F"/>  <affiliation role="member"   ref="#parliamentSIfrom="2014-08-01to="2018-06-21"   ana="#DZ.7"/>  <affiliation role="member"   ref="#parliamentSIfrom="2018-06-22ana="#DZ.8"/> </person>
The formal type of affiliation is given in the role attribute, in this case member. The ref attribute points to the ID of the organisation (cf. the Section on Organisations) in which the person has the specified role. For MPs, as is the case above, this will be the ID of the parliament (cf. the Section on The parliament organisations).

The example above also shows the use of the (optional) classification attribute ana, which points to the specification of the legislative period in which the person was affiliated with the specified organisation. Such legislative periods are typically given as <event> elements inside the government or parliament organisations, as futher explained in the Sections on the government and parliament organisations.

The affiliation element can also have the usual from and to attributes, i.e. from and to when the person was affiliated with the organisation.

The role attribute can have as its value one of the values given by the ParlaMint schema. For backward compatibility with ParlaMint I corpora, there are some roles that are only used by one corpus (cf. the definition of role for <affiliation>), but the main ones that should be used are:

  • member specifies that a person is a member of the organisation
  • head is used for the lead person in an organisation, regardless of how this role is named in the specific country and for the specific organisation, i.e. it can be used for the queen (head of the country organisation), president (head of the republic organisation), prime minister (head of goverment organisation), minister (head of ministry organisation), chairperson (head of committee organisation), etc.
  • deputyHead is the deputy head of the organisation, again, regardless of how this role is named in the specific country and for the specific organisation, i.e. it is used for the vice president, deputy chairperson, etc.
  • minister is used to indicate that the person is the minister in the government. Note that this only says that they are a minister, and when. To encode what they are a minister of, the ministry organisation needs to be defined, and the minister associated with it with the head role.
Because the values of the role attribute are quite generic, ParlaMint also allows to specify the exact name of the affiliation role for a particular country or region using the <roleName> element in the content of <affiliation>, preferably both in the local language, as well as in English, as illustrated in the following example, which specifies that somebody is a minister, and also what they are a minister of:
<affiliation role="ministerref="#GOV"  from="2020-08-01">  <roleName xml:lang="sl">Minister za obrambo</roleName>  <roleName xml:lang="en">Minister of Defence</roleName> </affiliation> <affiliation role="head"  ref="#MinistryOfDefencefrom="2020-08-01">  <roleName xml:lang="sl">Minister za obrambo</roleName>  <roleName xml:lang="en">Minister of Defence</roleName> </affiliation>
Finally, it is also possible to specify the name of the organisation that the person is affilated with inside the <affiliation> element, using the <orgName> element3 again, preferably both in the local language, as well as in English, as illustrated in the following example, which specifies that somebody is a minister of a certain ministry:
<affiliation role="ministerref="#GOV"  from="2020-08-01">  <orgName xml:lang="sl">Ministrstvo za obrambo</orgName>  <orgName xml:lang="en">Ministry of Defence</orgName> </affiliation>

It should be noted that ParlaMint makes no assumptions on the connection between various roles, e.g. we do not assume that if somebody has a minister role in the government that they are also a member of the government. Therefore it is necessary to specify all the desired affiliations with their particular roles, e.g. both as minister and as member.

It is important to give correct roles to the affiliations that associate a person with organisations. We list the most common roles and how they should be encoded, emphasising the ones that are obligatory in ParlaMint:

  • King or queen: affiliation/@role="head"org/@role="country"
  • President (as opposed to Prime minister): affiliation/@role="head"org/@role="republic"
  • Prime minister (or other head of government): affiliation/@role="head" & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="government" (cf. Section on The government organisation)
  • Deputy primer minister: affiliation/@role="deputyHead" & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="government"
  • Minister: affiliation/@role="minister" & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="government"
    If ministries are defined, then also: affiliation/@role="head & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="ministry"
  • Deputy minister: affiliation/@role="deputyMinister" & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="government"
    If ministries are defined, then also: affiliation/@role="deputyHead & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="ministry"
  • Leader of parliamentary group: affiliation/@role="head" & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="parliamentaryGroup" (cf. Section on Political parties and parliamentary groups)
  • Member of parliamentary group: affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="parliamentaryGroup"
  • Leader of political party: affiliation/@role="head" & affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="politicalParty"
  • Member of political party: affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="politicalParty"
  • MP: affiliation/@role="member"org/@role="parliament" (cf. Section on The parliament organisations)

5.2. Organisations

Information on the the government, parliament, political parties or parliamentary groups of political parties, as well as other optional parliamentary structures (e.g. ministries, committees) is given in the corpus root <listOrg> element of the <particDesc> (cf. the Section on Participant description). The <listOrg> element then contains a series of <org> elements, each giving information about one organisation. The organisations are followed by the <listRelations> element giving a list of relations between organisations:
<listOrg>  <org>...</org>  <org>...</org>  <org>...</org> ... <listRelation>...</listRelation> </listOrg>
We exemplify the structure of one organisation element by giving the basic information about a parliamentary group of political parties:
<org role="parliamentaryGroup"  xml:id="group.LN-Aut">  <orgName full="yesxml:lang="it">Lega Nord e Autonomie</orgName>  <orgName full="abb">LN-Aut</orgName>  <event from="2013-03-15">   <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>  </event> </org>
First, each organisation must have an xml:id attribute, so that other elements (in particular, <person>s) can refer to it. The fact that the organisation is a parliamentary group of political parties is encoded in the role attribute, and we elaborate on this below. The name of the organisation group is given in the <orgName> element, which also uses the full attribute to distinguish between the full name of the party and the abbreviated name of the party group.

Organisations are also created and dissolved, and this information is encoded in the <event> element, which has as its <label> existence, and where the start of its existence is given in the from attribute; as there is no to attribute, this also means that the party still exists.

The example above gives the minimal required information about an organisation but ParlaMint also allows further data to be added, as exemplified by the following example:
<org xml:id="party.PS"  role="parliamentaryGroup">  <orgName full="yesxml:lang="sl">Pozitivna Slovenija</orgName>  <orgName full="yesxml:lang="en">Positive Slovenia</orgName>  <orgName full="abb">PS</orgName>  <event from="2011-10-22">   <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>  </event>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia"   xml:lang="sl">https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozitivna_Slovenija</idno>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia"   xml:lang="en">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Slovenia</idno> </org>
Here the full name of the organisation is also given in English, and there two external links giving URLs to further information about the organisation. In the example above, these are the Slovene and English Wikipedia pages, as indicated by the appropriate values of the xml:lang attribtes on the <idno> element.

Returning to the role attribute, it is the ParlaMint schema (cf. the Section on Validating ParlaMint corpora) that gives its set of allowed values. Currently, the list is quite long, as we left it up to the partners of ParlaMint I to determine the values, however, there are some that are common to all corpora, and, for some, it is obligatory to have organisations with these roles in the organisation list of a corpus. Furthermore, it is recommended that the organisations are listed in the order as given below, with the obligatory roles emphasised:

  1. country: the country taken as an organisation, which can be used to specify the king or queen of the country as a <person> affiliated with the country organisation with the role head;
  2. republic: the republic, which can be used to specify the president of the country as a <person> affiliated with the republic organisation with the role head;
  3. government: the government of the country or region;
  4. ministry: a particular ministry, which can be used to specify the minister as a <person> affiliated with the ministry organisation with the role head;
  5. parliament: the parliament, upper or lower house of the country or region;
  6. parliamentaryGroup: a grouping of political parties for the purpose of acting as one in the government;
  7. politicalParty: a political party.

We discuss the obligatory types of organisations and political parties in the following sections.

5.2.1. The government organisation

The government organisation, distinguished by the role government, is required to be present in the <listOrg> of every corpus root and is, by convention, the first organisation in the list. It gives the ID and name of the country or region government, and also contains the list of specific governments by using the dedicated list element for events, <listEvent>, which then gives the these governments as a series of <event> elements:
<org xml:id="ParlaMint-SI-GOV"  role="government">  <orgName xml:lang="slfull="yes">Vlada Republike Slovenije</orgName>  <orgName xml:lang="enfull="yes">Government of the Republic of Slovenia</orgName>  <event from="1990-05-16">   <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>  </event>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia"   xml:lang="sl">https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlada_Republike_Slovenije</idno>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia"   xml:lang="en">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_Slovenia</idno>  <listEvent>   <event xml:id="GOV.11from="2013-03-20"    to="2014-09-18">    <label xml:lang="sl">11. vlada Republike Slovenije (20. marec 2013 - 18. september 2014)</label>    <label xml:lang="en">11th Government of the Republic of Slovenia (20 March 2013 - 18 September 2014)</label>   </event>    ...  <event xml:id="GOV.14from="2018-03-13">    <label xml:lang="sl">14. vlada Republike Slovenije (13. marec 2020 - danes)</label>    <label xml:lang="en">14th Government of the Republic of Slovenia (March 13, 2020 - today)</label>   </event>  </listEvent> </org>

5.2.2. The parliament organisations

The parliament organisations, distinguished by the role parliament, are also required to be present in the <listOrg> of every corpus root and are, by convention, the second and third organisation in the list. There will be two parliament organisations for bicameral chambers, at least in cases where the corpus contains the transcripts of both the upper and the lower house. For unicameral ones, or if the transcripts contains only the lower house, there will be only one parliament organisation. Which of the three options the organisation encoded is determined by the value of the ana attribute, which refers to the appropriate ID of the category in the legislature taxonomy (cf. the Section on Class declaration). The ana attribute should also specify whether the parliament is national or regional, with the categories also specified in the legislature taxonomy. In short, the theoretically possible values of ana for the parliament organisations are:
  • #parla.national #parla.uni: national parliament, unicameral system
  • #parla.national #parla.lower: national parliament, lower house
  • #parla.national #parla.upper: national parliament, upper house
  • #parla.regional #parla.uni: regional parliament, unicameral system
  • #parla.regional #parla.lower: regional parliament, lower house
  • #parla.regional #parla.upper: regional parliament, upper house
Otherwise, the structure of the parliament organisations is identical to the one for the government, i.e. it gives the ID and name of the parliament and encodes the successive parliaments, using the <event> element:
<org ana="#parla.national #parla.lower"  role="parliamentxml:id="be_federal_parliament">  <orgName full="yesxml:lang="nl">Federaal Parlement van België</orgName>  <orgName full="yesxml:lang="en">Belgian Federal Parliament</orgName>  <event from="1831-02-07">   <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>  </event>  <listEvent>   <head xml:lang="nl">Zittingsperiode</head>   <head xml:lang="en">Legislative period</head>   <event to="2007-05-02from="2003-06-05"    xml:id="period_51">    <label xml:lang="nl">Zittingsperiode 51</label>    <label xml:lang="en">Legislative period 51</label>   </event>    ...  <event from="2019-06-20"    xml:id="period_55">    <label xml:lang="nl">Zittingsperiode 55</label>    <label xml:lang="en">Legislative period 55</label>   </event>  </listEvent> </org>

5.2.3. Political parties and parliamentary groups

In the scope of ParlaMint, very important organisations are political parties (distinguished by the role politicalParty) and, even more so, parliamentary groups that represent political parties in the parliament (distinguished by the role parliamentryGroup). These organisations are linked to <person> elements (i.e. speakers) so that is known to which political party or parliamentary group the speaker belongs to or represents in a certain moment of time, as further explained in the Section on Speaker affiliations.

ParlaMint requires that a corpus must use parliamentary groups, while the use of political parties is optional. Note that if political parties are used, it is also expected to encode which political parties constitute a parliamentary group; this is encoded via the <relation> element, as further explained in the Section on Relations between organisations.

The introduction to this chapter already gave examples of how organisations are encoded in general, so we here only give examples of the encoding of the additional metadata that can also be associated with political parties or parliamentary groups, i.e. their political orientation on the left-to-right scale and the variables of the Chapel Hill Expert Surveys for Europe, CHES for short. This additional metadata is encoded in the <state> element(s), which should be the last element(s) in the <org>.

5.2.3.1. Encoding political orientation

Political orientation is encoded with the <state> element with the value of its type attribute equal to politicalOrientation. The nested <state> elements then give the type of the information, which can be either the (corpus) encoder or Wikipedia, its source (either a pointer to the ID of the person for encoder, or to the Wikipedia URL), and the reference to the category definition (defined in the politicalOrientation taxonomy) via the ana attribute, as is illustrated in the example below:
<org role="parliamentaryGroupxml:id="MR">  <orgName full="abb">MR</orgName>  <orgName full="yes">Mouvement Réformateur</orgName>  <idno type="URIsubtype="wikimedia">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformist_Movement</idno>  <state type="politicalOrientation">   <state type="encoder"    source="#GrietDepoorterana="#orientation.CRR">    <note xml:lang="en">Orientation determined by encoder, using own knowledge of the parliamentary group.</note>   </state>   <state type="Wikipedia"    source="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformist_Movementana="#orientation.CR">    <note xml:lang="en">From 1992 the Reformist Movement (MR) consisted of: FDF, MCC, PRL and PFF. In September        2001, FDF decides to leave the alliance and chooses a new name, becoming DeFI.</note>   </state>  </state> </org>
Note also that a <state> may have a note that gives furuther free-text information about the orientation.

5.2.3.2. Encoding CHES variables

The second type of metadata on organisations, in particular on political parties and parliamentary groups comes from the Chapel Hill Expert Surveys for Europe (CHES), either from the 1999-2019 edition, of from the 2019 edition. Here the top-level <state> element gives the type of the state, i.e. CHES and the URL of the CSV source for the information, as well as the name of the political party in CHES (which typically differs from its name or ID in ParlaMint) in the key attributes and the year span that the CHES information covers in from and to attributes.

Each subordinate <state> (of type variable) then encodes one CHES variable, which is given, via the ana attribute, as the reference to the appropriate category defined in the CHES taxonomy (cf. the Section on Class declaration and taxonomies). Finally, as CHES gives the values of its variables according to years, the third level of <state> (of type value) stores the periods of the variable together with its numeric value in the n attribute, as illustrated in the example below:
<state type="CHESkey="MRfrom="2002"  to="2018"  source="https://www.chesdata.eu/s/1999-2019_CHES_dataset_meansv3.csv">  <state type="variableana="#ches-lrgen">   <state type="valuefrom="2002to="2005"    n="6.35"/>   <state type="valuefrom="2006to="2009"    n="6.67"/>   <state type="valuefrom="2010to="2013"    n="7.0"/>   <state type="valuefrom="2014to="2018"    n="7.0"/>  </state>  <state type="variableana="#ches-lrecon">   <state type="valuefrom="2002to="2005"    n="7.3"/>   <state type="valuefrom="2006to="2009"    n="7.5"/>   <state type="valuefrom="2010to="2013"    n="7.62"/>   <state type="valuefrom="2014to="2018"    n="7.60"/>  </state> ... </state>

5.2.3.3. Relations between organisations

As mentioned, the relations between various organisations, in particular, which parliamentary groups of political parties are in the coalition or in opposition and when, are encoded in the final element of <listOrg>, namely <listRelation>, which then contains <relation> elements, as shown in the example below:
<listRelation>  <relation name="coalition"   mutual="#parliamentaryGroup.MR #parliamentaryGroup.OpenVldfrom="2014-10-11to="2018-12-09"   ana="#period_54"/>  <relation name="opposition"   active="#parliamentaryGroup.Ecolo #parliamentaryGroup.cdHpassive="#government.BE"   from="2014-10-11to="2018-12-09ana="#period_54"/>  <relation name="representing"   active="#parliamentaryGroup.MR"   passive="#politicalParty.CSSD.153 #politicalParty.ENO.1from="2013-10-29to="2017-10-26"/> </listRelation>
The type of relation is given in the name attribute. ParlaMint allows the following values of name:
  • coalition: the pointers to the organisations (i.e. parliamentary groups or political parties) are given in the mutual attribute (because a coalition is mutual relation betweent its members);
  • opposition: the pointers to the organisations are given in the active attribute, as the organisations are in an active relation to the government, the pointer to which is given in the passive attribute;
  • representing: a parliamentary group representing one or more political parties in the parliament. The parliamentary group is given as the value of the active attribute, while the political parties are given as the value of the passive attribute.
  • renaming: the two organisation (typically political parties) referred to are essentially the same organistion, which has been, however, renamed at some point in time; the reference to the old organisation is given in the passive attribute, while the reference to the new one is given in the active attribute;
  • successor: an organisation (again, typically a political party), or several of them, ceased to exist, but a sucessor was created; as with renaming, the previous organisation is given as the value of the passive attribute, while the new one uses the active attribute.
For the relations it is typically also necessary to specify from and possibly to when the relation was in force. Finally, it is possible, but not necessary, to also give the legislative period and/or the government when this particular coalition or opposition existed.

6. Transcriptions

The transcriptions are encoded in the <text> element of corpus components. This element contains only the element <body>, which should then contain at least one division, <div>, as illustrated below:
<text ana="#reference">  <body>   <div type="commentSection">...</div>   <div type="debateSection">...</div>   <div type="debateSection">...</div>    ...  </body> </text>
As shown, the <text> element should be (as is the top level <TEI> element, as discussed in the Section on Attributes of top-level elements) marked with the ana attribute as to which subcorpus the text belongs to, with the subcorpora themselves defined in the appropriate taxonomy (cf. the Section on Class declaration).

6.1. Divisions

A text body contains a series of divisions, <div> in cases when the source document can be reliably split into sections, which is typically done on the basis of headings identified in the source. When this is not possible, the complete body will be just one division.

In ParlaMint we have two types of divisions, which are distinguished by the value of their (required) type attribute. If its value is debateSection, then the divisions must contain at least one speech, while the value commentSection must not contain any speeches, i.e. it contains transcriber (or other) comments only, e.g. the table of contents, references to laws etc.

Inside a debateSection-type division, the main elements of interest are speeches, encoded as the utterance element, <u>. However, this type of division can (and the commentSection-type must) also contain headings and notes by the transcribers that serve to structure and comment the speeches, as well as page breaks, as illustrated below:
<text ana="#reference">  <body>   <div type="debateSection">    <pb n="1"/>    <head>Child Poverty Unit</head>    <note>Question</note>    <note>Asked by</note>    <u>...</u>      ...   <pb n="2"/>      ...   </div>   <div type="debateSection">    <head>Trade Union Act 2016 (Political Funds)</head>    <note>Motion to Approve</note>    <note>Moved by</note>    <u>...</u>      ...   </div>    ...  </body> </text>
It should be noted that the <head> element can appear only at the start of a division while notes can be interspersed with speeches anywhere inside a division, and can also appear inside speeches, i.e. inside <u> elements. It is also possible to specify the type of note, and, in fact, to use more precise elements than just <note>, which is further explained in the Section on Transcriber comments.
Page breaks, <pb> are an optional element, and can also appear both inside divisions and inside speeches or segments (as well as inside the <note> element, and, for the lingustically analysed version, inside sentences). They are used to preserve the page breaks from the digital source, possibly together with the page number, as the value of the n attribute. They can also point to the source of a particular page in the corpus via the source attribute and to their media file via the corresp attribute (cf. the Section on Source description and esp. the Example on the source description of a component file), as illustrated in the example below:
<div type="debateSection">  <pb n="1"   source="https://www.psp.cz/eknih/2013ps/stenprot/001schuz/s001001.htmcorresp="#ps2013-001-01-000-000.audio1"/>  <note type="speaker">Předsedající Miroslava Němcová</note> ... </div>

6.2. Utterances

A speech is marked up using the <u> (utterance) element, as illustrated below:
<u who="#DavidPriorana="#regular">  <seg>I ask that the draft Regulations laid before the House on 5 December be approved.</seg>  <seg>The relevant document is the 20th Report from the Legislation Committee.</seg> </u>
The most important attribute of an utterance is who, which gives the pointer to the <person> element containing the metadata of the speaker, which is discussed in the Section on Speakers. Despite its importance in allowing analyses of speeches by speaker and their metadata, it does happen that the speaker of every speech cannot be determined; for such cases, the who attribute should be omitted.

The <u> element should also have the ana attribute giving a pointer to the typology of types of speakers, which is especially important to enable the distinction between the speeches of a session chair (who mostly speak on procedural matters) from regular, and, possibly, guest speakers. Note that we used the #regular values not only for MPs but for all other speakers that can regularly speak in a parliament, e.g. ministers, the MP, members of parlimentary commissions etc. There is also a special type of speaker, called #interrupting, which we discuss further in the Section on Interrupted utterances.

The utterances are then segmented using the <seg> element, which encodes the paragraphs of the source transcription. Even if the source files do not contain paragraph markings, each speech should contain at least one segment.

Finally, an utterance (just as a division) can also contain transcriber comments (notes), as further detailed in the next section.

6.3. Transcriber comments

Transcriber comments give information on who spoke, what the time was, interruptions and the reason for them, what is happening in the chamber, results of voting, etc. While section headings can also be taken as a kind of transcriber comments, these serve to structure the transcription and are encoded as <head> elements, as explained at the start of this chapter, cf. the Example there. Another type of transcribe comment treated separately is the presence of gaps in the transcript; these are treated in the Section on Gaps.

Apart heads and gaps, transcriber comments are encoded using the <note> element or one of several so called ‘incident’ elements, as explained below. These elements can be placed directly inside <div>, <u>, <seg> or even <s> in the linguistically annotated version. They should be placed as far up the hierarchy as possible, i.e. if they would appear at the start or end of a segment or utterance, to encode them before the start, or, respectively, after the end of this segment or utterance. If possible, it is especially conventient not to have them inside <seg> (which contains text), as placing these elements there leads to mixed content, which is more difficult to process further, in particular when linguistically annotating the corpus. Similary, it is also better to move them outside <s> elements. However, if a transcriber comments were placed in the middle of the text for good reasons then they can be encoded inside the segment or sentence. Note, however, that utterances can also be split on transcriber comments, as is explained in the Section on Interrupted utterances.

6.3.1. Notes

In general, transcriber comments are encoded using <note>, which can be further qualified via its type attribute. We do not currently specify what the valid values of this attribute are. Some comments can also be encoded using more precise TEI elements, as further explained below. The following example gives typical transcriber comments:
<note type="speaker">The president, Dr. Milan Brglez:</note> ... <note type="vote-ayes">84 voted for the adoption of the measure.</note> ... <note type="vote-noes">2 voted against the adoption of the measure.</note> ... <note type="time">The session began at 10 o'clock.</note> ...
The first note simply gives the speaker of the utterance that would follow it, the second and third are notes on the voting results, while the fourth gives the time when the session started. Note that in this case we can also explicitly add the time when the sessions started, as in the following example:
<note type="time">The session began at <time when="2016-04-13T010:00:00">10 o'clock</time>.</note>
Note that, in ParlaMint, the when attribute of <time> must contain not only the time, but the date as well, so that users of the corpus do not need to infer it.

6.3.2. Incidents

Some types of transcriber comments, which we term incidents can be encoded using more specific TEI elements. These elements can also be further qualified by the type attribute, with the values being determined by the ParlaMint schema. The three incident elements are:
  • <vocal> marks any vocalised but not necessarily lexical phenomenon, with the values of the (for this element) obligatory type attribute being, for example interruption, laughter, murmuring etc.
  • <kinesic> marks any communicative phenomenon, not necessarily vocalised, with the optional type values being e.g. applause, laughter, gesture.
  • <incident> marks any phenomenon or occurrence, not necessarily vocalised or communicative, with the optional type values being e.g. break, sound, action.
The example below illustrates the use of these three elements:
<vocal type="interruption">  <desc>sounds from the chamber</desc> </vocal> ... <kinesic type="signal">  <desc>signal for end of debate</desc> </kinesic> ... <incident type="action">  <desc>minute of silence</desc> </incident>
As the example shows, the original content of the transcriber comment is retained in the <desc> element. Note that in cases when the agent of an incident is known, they can be specified in the optional who attribute, just as on utterances.
While the incidents must have at least one <desc> element, they can also have several, so that the description of the incident can be, if so desired, translated into English, as illustrated in the following example:
<vocal type="interruption">  <desc xml:lang="sl">oglašanje z dvoraner</desc>  <desc xml:lang="en">sounds from the chamber</desc> </vocal>

6.4. Gaps

The transcribers can also note that a part of the speech was not transcribed, typically because it was not understood, sometimes also noting the reason why, such as that the microphone was not turned on, that there was noise in the chamber, or that the speaker was speaking too quietly. These notes can be encoded as the <gap> element, which is then also marked by reason=inaudible. The original transcriber comment is left in the <desc> element, as illustrated below:
... I would further state that <gap reason="inaudible">  <desc>speaker spoke too quietly, not understood</desc> </gap> and furthermore ...
Another reason for omitting a part of the transcription can be an editorial decision of the corpus compilers. The transcript can, for example, contain material that they do not want to include in the corpus, such as tables, or parts of the transcription that for technical reasons cannot be converted to text. In these cases, the reason given should be editorial, while the <desc> should contain what has been omitted, as illustrated below.
<gap reason="editorial">  <desc xml:lang="en">Table omitted</desc> </gap>
Sometimes a passage of the transcription is in a foregin language, and, esp. as the corpus is to be linguistically annotated, the passage is best left out of the transcription proper. This can be achieved by encoding it as a gap in the transcription with the reason foreign, while the <desc> should contain the omitted text. In this case therefore the description does not give the reason for the ommission, but rather the text that has been ommited. The language of the foreign passage should be indicated on the xml:lang attribute of <desc>. If the language has not been identified, the ISO 639 code for undetermined language ‘und’ can be used, while in cases where more than one language is used in such a passage, the ‘mul’ code for multiple languages is used. All languages used on <desc> should of course be documented in the <langUsage> element. Below an example:
<gap reason="foreign">  <desc xml:lang="und">Huliniahuanngittunga</desc> </gap>
As with incidents, gaps can also contain several descriptions so that they can be, if so desired, translated:
<gap reason="editorial">  <desc xml:lang="de">Zitierte Druckfassung entfernt</desc>  <desc xml:lang="en">Quoted printed matter omited</desc> </gap>

6.5. Interrupted utterances

A special case occurs when a transcription note states that somebody interrupted the speaker and gives the transcript of the interruption, possibly with who interrupted, with the main speaker then continuing with their speech, as in the following made up snippet:
Boris Johnson: I propose a no-deal Brexit. /Jeremy Corbyn: Traitor!/ Because England does not want any dealings with the European Union.
The standard manner in which such interruptions are encoded is using the default <note> element, or, much better, the <vocal> element, as explained in the Section on Incidents, as below:
<u who="#BorisJohnsonana="#regular">  <seg>I propose a no-deal Brexit. <vocal type="interruption">    <desc>Jeremy Corbyn:        Traitor!</desc>   </vocal> Because England does not want any dealings with the European    Union.</seg> </u>
This solution is relatively easy to implement and valid in ParlaMint, however, it has the disadvantage of leaving what is essentially a speech as the content of a comment. In cases where it is possible to consistently identify such ‘mini speeches’, an alternative and more useful encoding will turn this comment into a separate speech, and split the main utterance into two (or more) pieces. The example below illustrates how this is encoded:
<u who="#BorisJohnsonana="#regular"  xml:id="GB001.8.3next="#GB001.8.5">I propose a no-deal Brexit.</u> <u who="#JeremyCorbyn"  ana="#regular #interruptingxml:id="GB001.8.4">Traitor!</u> <u who="#BorisJohnsonana="#regular"  xml:id="GB001.8.5prev="#GB001.8.3">Because England does not want any dealings with the European Union.</u>
As can be seen, the split is indicated by the use of the next attribute on the first part of the split utterance and by the prev attribute of the next part of the split utterance, while the fact that an utterance interrupts another one is signaled by the addition of #interrupting to the ana attribute. The values of the next and prev attributes are pointers to the next of previous identifiers of the appropriate part of the split utterance.4.

In the example the speaker of the interrupting speech has also been identified and marked in the who attribute; in cases where this is not possible, this attribute can be omitted. As mentioned this speaker should also have the value #interrupting in their ana attribute; this value comes from the appropriate category of the ParlaMint speaker type taxonomy. In case the speaker is identified, and their status can be determined, ana should also contain the type proper of the speaker, i.e. whether they are #chair, #regular or #guest speaker is assumed.

7. Linguistic annotation

This section introduces the ParlaMint linguistic annotation. An important note is that a linguistically annotated ParlaMint corpus is stored separately from its base (or plain-text) version, i.e. the version that has been discussed in the preceding sections. The encoding of the linguistically annotated version differs from the plain-text one in the following:

7.1. Linguistic markup

Linguistic annotation is added only to the text content of <seg> elements inside the speeches, i.e <u> elements. For this text, ParlaMint requires the following additional markup to be present:

  • tokens: what is a word, and what is punctuation, with preserved information on inter-token spaces;
  • sentences: what is a sentence;
  • lemmas: what is the base form of each word;
  • Universal Dependencies (UD) part-of-speech and morphological features, and, optionally, part-of-speech tags from a different (local) tagset;
  • named entities (NE): what is a name, categorised at least into the standard four NE classes;
  • the UD dependency syntactic parse of the sentences;
  • USAS semantic annotations on words and phrases but only for the machine translated corpora.

Below, we explain the encoding of each of these levels.

7.1.1. Word-level annotation

Basic linguistic annotation comprises tokenisation, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging and lemmatisation, and this mark-up is illustrated in the example below:
<s>  <w msd="UPosTag=DET|Case=Gen|Gender=Neut|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem"   lemma="ta">Tega</w>  <w msd="UPosTag=PRON|PronType=Prs|Reflex=Yes|Variant=Short"   lemma="se">se</w>  <w msd="UPosTag=PARTlemma="sploh">sploh</w>  <w msd="UPosTag=AUX|Mood=Ind|Number=Sing|Person=1|Polarity=Neg|Tense=Pres|VerbForm=Fin"   lemma="biti">nisem</w>  <w msd="UPosTag=VERB|Aspect=Perf|Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|VerbForm=Part"   lemma="zavestijoin="right">zavedel</w>  <pc msd="UPosTag=PUNCT">.</pc> </s>
Sentences are marked up using the <s> element, words with the <w> element and punctuation symbols with the <pc> element. To retain the linguistically significant whitespace, the join element with the fixed value right is used, meaning there should be no whitespace to the right of the token. There can be (depending on the language and annotation tool used) an added complication with tokenisation, which is further taken up in the next Section on Syntactic words.

The base form or lemmas of a word is given as the value of the lemma attribute, while punctuation characters, <pc>, do not have this attribute.

The UD part-of-speech and morphological features are both packed in the msd attribute, with the part-of-speech having the UPosTag linguistic attribute, and the features separated by the vertical bar.

ParlaMint also allows (but does not require) part-of-speech tags from some other tagset5 to be added to the linguistic annotation. Where this information is encoded, depends on the type of tagset.

For synthetic tagsets, such as the Penn Treebank tagset, which have atomic tags that cannot always be decomposed into attribute-value pairs (e.g. the tag ‘TO’ for the word ‘to’) should be encoded using the pos on words and punctuation symbols, as shown in the example below:
<s>  <w lemma="I"   msd="UPosTag=PRON|Case=Nom|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prspos="PRP">I</w>  <w lemma="support"   msd="UPosTag=VERB|Mood=Ind|Tense=Pres|VerbForm=Finpos="VBP">support</w>  <w lemma="the"   msd="UPosTag=DET|Definite=Def|PronType=Artpos="DT">the</w>  <w lemma="amendment"   msd="UPosTag=NOUN|Number=Singpos="NNjoin="right">amendment</w>  <pc msd="UPosTag=PUNCTpos=".">.</pc> </s>
For analytic tagsets, where a part-of-speech tag can be always decomposed into a set of attribute-values, the pointing attribute ana should be used. An example of such a collection of tagsets for various languages is given in the MULTEXT-East morphosyntactic specifications, and we give below an example that uses this tagset:
<s>  <w ana="mte:Vmpr1plemma="prehajati"   msd="UPosTag=VERB|Aspect=Imp|Mood=Ind|Number=Plur|Person=1|Tense=Pres|VerbForm=Fin">Prehajamo</w>  <w ana="mte:Salemma="na"   msd="UPosTag=ADP|Case=Acc">na</w>  <w ana="mte:Ncnsajoin="right"   lemma="odločanje"   msd="UPosTag=NOUN|Case=Acc|Gender=Neut|Number=Sing">odločanje</w>  <pc ana="mte:Zmsd="UPosTag=PUNCT">.</pc> </s>
The mte: is a prefix that is, via the TEI extended pointer syntax as defined in the TEI header (cf. the Section on Prefix definitions) expanded so that the value of such an ana attribute points to the expansions of the given tag to a feature structure. For example, the value mte:Vmpr1p would be expanded to https://nl.ijs.si/ME/V6/msd/tables/msd-fslib2-sl.xml#Vmpr1p, which then resolves to the feature-structure below:
<fs xml:id="Vmpr1pxml:lang="en"  corresp="#Ggnspm">  <f name="CATEGORY">   <symbol value="Verb"/>  </f>  <f name="Type">   <symbol value="main"/>  </f>  <f name="Aspect">   <symbol value="progressive"/>  </f>  <f name="VForm">   <symbol value="present"/>  </f>  <f name="Person">   <symbol value="first"/>  </f>  <f name="Number">   <symbol value="plural"/>  </f> </fs>

7.1.2. Syntactic words

Certain frameworks, in particular the UD one (cf. their information on Tokenization and Word Segmentation and on Words, Tokens and Empty Nodes), allow for tokens to be decomposed into several words, and it is these syntactic words, and not tokens, that are further annotated.

To allow for such mismatches between word tokens and syntactic words, we use embedded empty words with associated norm attributes and the standard attributes with linguistic annotation. For example, Czech has the word ‘abyste’ which is in UD decomposed into two syntactic words, ‘aby’ and ‘byste’. This should be encoded as in the following example6:
<w>abyste <w norm="abylemma="aby"   msd="UPosTag=SCONJ"/>  <w norm="bystelemma="být"   msd="UPosTag=AUX|Mood=Cnd|Number=Plur|Person=2|VerbForm=Fin"/> </w>
Note also that if such a multi-word token does not have a space following it, join="right" should be added to the top level word.
While we do not have examples of such a practice yet, there could also be cases where two (or more) tokens correspond to one syntactic word. In such cases, it is the syntactic word that is on the top level, while the inner words are the actual tokens. To take an example from historical language, Slovene used to form the superlative form of adjectives with the word ‘naj’ written separately (and often as ‘nar’), while in contemporary Slovene, the ‘naj’ is a prefix of the adjective. This would be encoded as follows:
<w norm="najlepšilemma="lep">  <w>nar</w>  <w>lepši</w> </w>
In this case, if such a multi-token syntactic word would not have a space following it, join="right" should be added to the last token, i.e. ‘lepši’.

7.1.3. Named entities

ParlaMint also requires annotation of Named Entities (NE), which should be categorised into the following four types:

  • PER: person
  • LOC: location
  • ORG: organisation
  • MISC: miscellaneous

These types are also specified in a specialised taxonomy, as further explained in the Section on Linguistic taxonomies.

The identified names and their type are marked up as the <name> element with the appropriate value of its type attribute, as shown in the example below:
... <w lemma="andmsd="UPosTag=CCONJ">and</w> <name type="ORG">  <w lemma="Westminster"   msd="UPosTag=PROPN|Number=Sing">Westminster</w>  <w join="rightlemma="Hall"   msd="UPosTag=PROPN|Number=Sing">Hall</w> </name> <w lemma=",msd="UPosTag=PUNCT">,</w> ...
ParlaMint also supports more complex NE annotation schemes, such as the one used for Czech data, which introduces very detailed NE types and also allows for nested named entities. The example below gives such a case, where the top level and ParlaMint-compatible person name also contains nested names:
<name type="PERana="ne:p">  <name ana="ne:pf">   <w>Františka</w>  </name>  <name ana="ne:ps">   <w>Laudáta</w>  </name> </name>
Here, the language specific NE annotations are given as the value of the ana attribute, which are pointers using the TEI extended pointer syntax (cf. the Section on Prefix definitions) into a corpus-specific taxonomy that defines these local NE types (for how ParlaMint linguistic taxonomies are defined, cf. the Section on Linguistic taxonomies).

7.1.4. Syntactic parses

Sentences are accompanied by a Universal Dependencies parse. These analyses are encoded inside their sentence mark-up, although in a stand-off manner. This means that each token must be given an ID, while the syntactic analysis is stored in the link group, <linkGrp> element containing a series of <link> elements. Each is labeled by a dependency label and joins two tokens. The example below illustrates the syntactic encoding:
<s xml:id="ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8">  <w xml:id="ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.1">I</w>  <w xml:id="ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.2">support</w>  <w xml:id="ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.3">the</w>  <w join="right"   xml:id="ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.4">amendment</w>  <pc xml:id="ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.5">.</pc>  <linkGrp targFunc="head argument"   type="UD-SYN">   <link ana="ud-syn:nsubj"    target="#ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.2 #ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.1"/>   <link ana="ud-syn:root"    target="#ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8 #ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.2"/>   <link ana="ud-syn:det"    target="#ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.4 #ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.3"/>   <link ana="ud-syn:obj"    target="#ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.2 #ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.4"/>   <link ana="ud-syn:punct"    target="#ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.2 #ParlaMint-GB_2021-01-06.seg393.8.5"/>  </linkGrp> </s>
The example shows that each token, as well as the sentence element should be given an xml:id attribute, that the link group comes at the end (but inside) the sentence, that <linkGrp> has two attributes targFunc and type, both with the fixed values of head argument and UD-SYN, and that it contains a series of empty <link> elements.

The link elements then give, via the value of their target attribute, references the head and argument tokens of the syntactic relation, which is specified in the ana attribute. By convention, the links are ordered so that the argument references follow the ordering of the tokens in the sentence, i.e. all the tokens in the sentence should appear in order in the second position. Note that for the top level root relation (of which there should be only one in the sentence), the head is the reference to the sentence ID.

The relations themselves are pointers which use the ud: prefix that is, via the TEI extended pointer syntax as defined in the TEI header (cf. the Section on Prefix definitions) expanded so that the value of such an ana attribute points to the categories of the special UD syntactic taxonomy which must be a part of the linguistically annotated version of the corpus; how to insert this taxonomy is specified in the Section on Linguistic taxonomies. There is one more detail to watch out for, namely, that UD allows the colon symbol : to appear in extended relations, e.g. acl:relcl for relative clause modifier. As we already use the colon for the extended pointer prefix, the colons in the relations should be changed to underscore, e.g. to ud-syn:acl_relcl. Note, however, that the relations specified in a <link> ana attribute are just pointers, and could have any value; it is the UD taxonomy that actually determines the correct value of the relation.

7.1.5. Semantic annotation

The machine translated ParlaMint corpora (cf. the Section on Translations of corpora) have one more level of annotation, namely the semantic annotation of tokens and phrases (i.e. Multi-Word Expressions or MWEs) with USAS semantic tags. First, in order to be able to semantically tag MWEs, a new element was introduced inside sentences, namely phrase, <phr>7. The USAS semantic tags are then encoded in two attributes of tokens or MWEs, namely function and ana, as illustated in the example below:
<w function="Z5ana="sem:Z5">the</w> <w function="G1.1/S2mf,S9/S2mf"  ana="sem:G1.1 sem:S2">Minister</w> <w function="Z5ana="sem:Z5">of</w> <name type="ORG">  <w function="I1ana="sem:I1">Finance</w> </name> <w function="Z5ana="sem:Z5">and</w> <phr type="semfunction="Z1mf,Z3c"  ana="sem:Z1">  <w function="Z1mf,Z3cana="sem:Z1">Deputy</w>  <w lemma="Primefunction="Z1mf,Z3c"   ana="sem:Z1">Prime</w>  <w lemma="Ministerfunction="Z1mf,Z3c"   ana="sem:Z1">Minister</w> </phr>
The first thing to note is that all the tokens inside a MWE receive identical semantic markup as its encompassing MWE <phr> element. Second, the function attribute gives the USAS tags exactly as output by the tool used for semantic tagging, which includes not only the tag computed to be the most appropriate for the given context, but also all the other lexically possible tags, with the comma being the separator. The first tag is then used to compute the values of the ana attribute. Here the conjunctive USAS tag (here the delimiter is the slash) is transformed into a series of references to the USAS taxomomy (cf. the Section on Linguistic taxonomies) while also removing tag qualifiers. For example, the tag G1.1/S2mf is transformed into sem:G1.1 sem:S2 i.e. the mf (for male and female) qualifiers are removed from S2mf. Note also that the prefix sem (cf. the Section on Prefix definitions) is used for pointing into the USAS taxonomy. With this set-up it is possible to encode the exact USAS tags as well as their ParlaMint categories, which give the not only the tag, but also its gloss.

7.2. Metadata for linguistic annotation

What kind of metadata a plain-text ParlaMint corpus should contain was explained in the Section on Corpus metadata and in this section we detail what additions must be made to the metadata for the linguistically annotated version. Note that the changes for this version have been already explained at the start of this Chapter. In short, there are three additional parts that should be added to the <teiHeader> of the corpus root, namely a description of the tool(s) used to linguistically annotate the corpus, two additional taxonomies (one for named entities, and one for UD syntactic relations) and the definition of the prefix expansions for UD syntactic relations. These descriptions should also serve as the point of departure for those that want to introduce their own prefixes and taxonomies for defining additional and corpus-specific part-of-speech tagging schemes or named entity classes.

7.2.1. Application information for linguistic processing

As the linguistic analysis of a ParlaMint will be performed by a tool, the information on which tool (or tools) have been used should be documented in the corpus root TEI header. This information is encoded in the <appInfo> element of the <encodingDesc>, as shown in the example below:
<appInfo>  <application version="1.0ident="classla">   <label>CLASSLA</label>   <desc xml:lang="en">Linguistic processing performed with with CLASSLA trained for      Slovene, available from <ref target="https://github.com/clarinsi/classla">https://github.com/clarinsi/classla</ref>.</desc>  </application> </appInfo>
The <appInfo> element contains, in general, a series of <application> elements, each one giving the information on one tool. The element gives the version number of the tool and specifies, via ident, and identifying code. It has two subordinate elements, with <label> giving the name of the tool and <desc> a short description of it, preferably with a pointer to the URL where it can be found or is at least documented.

7.2.2. Linguistic taxonomies

Some linguistic annotations have fixed vocabularies and these should be encoded as taxonomies in the TEI header of the linguistically analysed corpus root, similarly to other taxonomies, as discussed in the Section on the Class declaration.

The first taxonomy is the Named Entity types, which has - apart from translating the categories into the local language - a fixed structure, as follows:
<taxonomy xml:id="ParlaMint-taxonomy-NER.ana">  <desc xml:lang="en">   <term>Named entities</term>  </desc>  <category xml:id="PER">   <catDesc xml:lang="sl">    <term>oseba</term>   </catDesc>   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>person</term>   </catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="LOC">   <catDesc xml:lang="sl">    <term>lokacija</term>   </catDesc>   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>location</term>   </catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="ORG">   <catDesc xml:lang="sl">    <term>organizacija</term>   </catDesc>   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>organisation</term>   </catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="MISC">   <catDesc xml:lang="sl">    <term>drugo</term>   </catDesc>   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>miscellaneous</term>   </catDesc>  </category> </taxonomy>
The second taxonomy to be inserted is the one for Universal Dependency relations. We currently do not use corpus specific taxonomies, even though different languages use different subsets of the UD syntactic relations, but rather a common taxonomy giving all the UD relations; the taxonomy has currently also not been localised, i.e. it is available in the English language only. Below we illustrate by giving a few relation definitions:
<taxonomy xml:id="ParlaMint-taxonomy-UD-SYN.ana">  <desc xml:lang="en">   <term>UD syntactic relations</term>  </desc>  <category xml:id="acl">   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>acl</term>: Clausal modifier of noun (adjectival clause)</catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="cc_preconj">   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>cc:preconj</term>: Preconjunct</catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="dep">   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>dep</term>: Unspecified dependency</catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="punct">   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>punct</term>: Punctuation</catDesc>  </category>  <category xml:id="root">   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>root</term>: Root</catDesc>  </category> </taxonomy>
The ID and description, <desc> of the <taxonomy> are fixed, and the <category> elements have the usual structure. Note that the ID of a category is identical to its name given in <term>, except that the colon, : in the official name of the relation must be substituted by the underscore, _, to enable correct referencing of these IDs, as discussed in the Section on Syntactic parses.
The third taxonomy is only relevant for the machine translated corpora (cf. the Section on Translations of corpora) and gives the categories of the USAS semantic tags (for their encoding in the corpora cf. the Section on Semantic annotation). This taxonomy is only available in the English language and is identical for all the machine translated corpora. Below we illustrate its structure by giving the start of the taxonomy:
<taxonomy xml:id="ParlaMint-taxonomy-USAS.ana"  xml:lang="en">  <desc xml:lang="en">   <term>USAS categories</term>: Semantic categories following the USAS Semantic tagset, ...</desc>  <category xml:id="A1">   <catDesc>    <term>A1</term>: General And Abstract Terms</catDesc>   <category xml:id="A1.1.1">    <catDesc>     <term>A1.1.1</term>: General actions / making</catDesc>    <category xml:id="A1.1.1n">     <catDesc>      <term>A1.1.1-</term>: Inaction</catDesc>    </category>   </category>   <category xml:id="A1.1.2">    <catDesc>     <term>A1.1.2</term>: Damaging and destroying</catDesc>    <category xml:id="A1.1.2n">     <catDesc>      <term>A1.1.2-</term>: Fixing and mending</catDesc>    </category>   </category>    ...  </category> ... </taxonomy>
The current USAS taxonomy covers a subset of all USAS semantic tags and was derived from the official list of USAS semantic subcategories. A category in the taxonomy can contain up to one positive (USAS = '+', taxonomy = 'p') or negative (USAS = '-', taxonomy = 'n') modifier. Other USAS modifiers (i.e. regex [mfnci%@]) are not retained. The taxonomy includes 455 categories, each with its USAS code and gloss.

7.2.3. Prefix definitions

Pointing attributes, such as ana, take as their value a series of references to the value of xml:id elements in an XML document. If this is the same document, then the reference to the ID is the hash character, # prefixed to the particular ID, e.g. #parla.uni, and if they are in another XML document, then the hash is prefixed with the URL of the document, e.g. https://nl.ijs.si/ME/V6/msd/tables/msd-fslib2-sl.xml#Vmpr1p.

Because the complete URL tends to be long, which is especially inconvenient when such references are given to every token in a corpus, TEI introduces the so called Extended pointer syntax, whereby the reference to an ID can be given in the form of a prefix, which is separated by a colon from the local part of the ID reference, and the value of this prefix is determined via the <prefixDef> element in the <profileDesc> of the TEI header.

ParlaMint uses this mechanism for all linguistic annotations with a closed vocabulary, in particular for the Universal Dependencies syntactic relations, for the optional and corpus-specific analytical part-of-speech tags (c.f. the Sections on Syntactic parses and Word-level annotation), and for semantic annotation in the machine translated corpora (c.f. the Section on Semantic annotation). The example below illustrates the prefix definitions for the obligatory UD syntactic relations and for the optional MULTEXT-East tags:
<listPrefixDef>  <prefixDef ident="ud-syn"   matchPattern="(.+)replacementPattern="#$1">   <p xml:lang="en">Private URIs with this prefix point to elements giving their name. In this document they are simply local references into the UD-SYN taxonomy categories in the corpus root TEI header.</p>  </prefixDef>  <prefixDef ident="mtematchPattern="(.+)"   replacementPattern="http://nl.ijs.si/ME/V6/msd/tables/msd-fslib-sl.xml#$1">   <p xml:lang="en">Private URIs with this prefix point to feature-structure elements defining the Slovenian MULTEXT-East Version 6 MSDs.</p>  </prefixDef> </listPrefixDef>
The specialised element for listing prefix definitions, <listPrefixDef> gives a series of prefix definitions, i.e. <prefixDef> elements. Each prefix definition defines its prefix as the value of the ident attribute, and then specifies a regular expression that matches the part of the ID reference after the prefix in its matchPattern attribute, and its substitution as the value of the replacementPattern attribute. The first prefix definition thus defines the ud-syn prefix, so for any ID reference with this prefix, e.g. ud-syn:acl_relcl, the part after the prefix (acl_relcl) should be matched against (.+) and the result being the matched part (here the entire relation acl_relcl) substituted by #$1, i.e. by the hash character followed by the original value, so that ud-syn:acl_relcl gives #acl_relcl. This substitution is of course trivial, and hardly necessary, but was implemented so that all fixed-vocabulary linguistic analyses have the same treatment.

More to the point is the second example, where very short ID references, such as mte:Vmpr1p are transformed to https://nl.ijs.si/ME/V6/msd/tables/msd-fslib2-sl.xml#Vmpr1p, as already explained in the Section on Word-level annotation.

Finally, each prefix definition also contains a possibly bi-lingual paragraph explaining the definition.

8. Translations of corpora

The ParlaMint machine translated corpora are encoded simliarly to corpora in their source language, i.e. they have an identically structured corpus root and components. The most obvious differences are the following:

The structure of the <text>, inluding the transcriber comments and the linguistic analysis is encoded the same as as for the corpora in the source language. The two differences are that the aligned elements are linked to their corresponding elements in the source corpus, and, to simplify processing, the transcriber comments are moved outside sentences in the (rare) cases where they appeared inside them in the original language corpus. In the current machine translated corpora the alignment are given to utterances, segments, sentences, and transcriber comments, which have, furthermore, always a 1-1 mapping to the corresponding source element. Therefore the alignment is trivial, simply specifiying the same xml:id value of the element the source corpus, as illustrated in the following example:
<div type="debateSectionxml:lang="en">  <note type="speaker"   xml:id="ParlaMint-LV_2019-01-31-PT13-516.ana.note1"   corresp="mt-src:ParlaMint-LV_2019-01-31-PT13-516.ana.note1">Head of the sitting.</note>  <u who="#ĀboltiņaSolvita"   xml:id="ParlaMint-LV_2014-11.u1ana="#chairxml:lang="en"   corresp="mt-src:ParlaMint-LV_2014-11.u1">   <seg xml:id="ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.seg1"    xml:lang="en"    corresp="mt-src:ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.seg1">    <s xml:id="ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.s1"     corresp="mt-src:ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.s1">     <w xml:id="ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.s1.t1"      msd="UPosTag=PROPN|Number=Singlemma="Mr.">Mr.</w>     <w xml:id="ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.s1.t2"      msd="UPosTag=PROPN|Number=Singlemma="Presidentjoin="right">President</w>        ...    </s>      ...   </seg>    ...  </u> ... </div>
As can be seen above, the alignment is specified on the corresp attibute. The alignment reference makes use of the TEI extended pointer syntax (cf. also the Section on Prefix definitions), to define the mt-src prefix which must resolve to the correct component file of the corpus in the source language.
In contrast to other linguistic annotations that specify one prefix definition for the complete corpus (so, inside the corpus root <teiHeader>), the translated corpora should specify a prefix definition inside each corpora component because its definition depends on the component file. For example, the prefix definition of the corpus component file ParlaMint-LV-en_2014-11-04.ana.xml should be as in the following example:
<listPrefixDef>  <prefixDef ident="mt-src"   matchPattern="(.+)"   replacementPattern="../../ParlaMint-LV.TEI.ana/2014/ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.ana.xml#$1">   <p>Private URIs with this prefix point to aligned source elements of the MTed corpus.</p>  </prefixDef> </listPrefixDef>
The assumption above is that the two corpora are available in the same directory (so, ./ParlaMint-LV.TEI.ana/ and ./ParlaMint-LV-en.TEI.ana/), so that corresp values of the file ParlaMint-LV-en.TEI.ana/2014/ParlaMint-LV-en_2014-11-04.ana.xml with the mt-src prefix will point to ParlaMint-LV-en.TEI.ana/2014/../../ParlaMint-LV.TEI.ana/2014/ParlaMint-LV_2014.ana.xml i.e. to ./ParlaMint-LV.TEI.ana/2014/ParlaMint-LV_2014-11-04.xml.
The final additional element of the transated corpora is the information on the application, <application>, (cf. also the Section on Application information for linguistic processing) i.e. on the program that was used to translate the corpora, as illustrated by the following example:
<application ident="EasyNMTversion="2.0">  <label>EasyNMT (OPUS-MT model)</label>  <desc>Translation to English done with EasyNMT    (<ref target="https://github.com/UKPLab/EasyNMT">https://github.com/UKPLab/EasyNMT</ref>)    with OPUS-MT model bat    (<ref target="https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT">https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT</ref>)</desc> </application>
This element should be given in the corpus root, together with all the other information on applications inside the application information (<appInfo>) element.

9. Validation and conversion

The chapter explains how to validate and finalise a ParlaMint corpus, and introduces scripts for converting a ParlaMint corpus to other, derived formats.

9.1. Validating ParlaMint corpora

The XML structure of ParlaMint corpora can be validated via RelaxNG schemas, which exist in two versions, one that was produced as a customisation of the TEI Guidelines, and a set of schemas that were made from scratch for ParlaMint.

The TEI customisation is written as a TEI ODD document, which is, in fact, the XML version of this document, and is available in the TEI/ directory of the ParlaMint GitHub repository. The XML contains not only the prose guidelines, but also the formal specification of the TEI schema, which is given in the Appendix A. In the XML it contains the formal schema specification, while in the on-line version this is converted to a reference to all the elements, attributes and classes used in ParlaMint corpora. The ODD document is not immediately useful for XML validation, but has to be converted with TEI XSLT stylesheets first in order to obtain a RelaxNG schema, and this schema is also available in the same directory under the name of ParlaMint.rng (in RelaxNG XML syntax) and ParlaMint.rnc (in RelaxNG compact syntax). This schema should be used to check that ParlaMint component files validate against TEI.

However, it is difficult to constrain a TEI ODD-derived XML schema to allow only the kinds of nestings and attributes that should appear in a ParlaMint corpus, so this schema allows (and lists Appendix A) nesting of elements, as well as attributes that are in fact forbidden in ParlaMint corpora.

For this reason, we have also developed a set of RelaxNG schemas from scratch, which do allow only those elements, attributes and content models that are in fact valid for a ParlaMint corpus. There are all together four such schemas, one for a "plain-text" corpus root, one for its corpus components, one for the linguistically annotated corpus root, and one for its components. These schemas can be found in the Schema/ directory of the ParlaMint GitHub repository, with the README file giving instructions on how to use them.

Validating with XML schemas checks the formal structure of XML files but is less successful in validating other aspects of conformance, such as the textual content or linking of pointer attributes. For this reason, we have also developed an XSLT script that assumes a schema-validated ParlaMint file on its input, and checks various other aspects of conformance. These validation scripts can be found in the Scripts/ directory of the ParlaMint GitHub repository, with the README file listing them.

It should be noted that it is not necessary to run the validation scripts directly, as the validation can be performed by the main Makefile of the project. The Makefile is self-documenting, i.e. to see how to use it, please run make help in the top level directory of the ParlaMint project.

While each contributor of a corpus should validate their files with the ParlaMint schemas and validation script, there also exist further stages of validation, which are also applied to ParlaMint corpora:

  • The corpora are converted to derived formats, in particular, the linguistically annotated version of the corpus to CoNLL-U and to the so called vertical format for CQP-type concordancers. The Universal Dependencies project provides a program for validating the formatting and linguistic analyses in CoNLL-U files, and this validation is used on the CoNLL-U files derived from their XML source, up to level 2 conformance. The vertical files, on the other hand, are first compiled with manatee (the back end of (no)Sketch Engine) and this compilation can also expose various errors.
  • The last stage in validation is ‘human validation’ where e.g. simply looking at various produced metadata files or at the concordances of a corpus exposes errors.

9.2. Finalisation of corpora

While the vast majority of converting source encodings into the ParlaMint corpus format is left to the compilers of a corpus, there are a few metadata elements that can be produced by a common script on the basis of nearly finished corpora, which then results in the final version of the corpus for a particular release. This includes setting the date, edition and handle under which the corpus will be distributed, and also calculating the size of the corpus (cf. the Sections on Extents and on Tags declaration). The script for finalisation can be found in the Scripts/ directory of the ParlaMint GitHub repository and the README file briefly explains its function; more comments can be found in the script itself.

9.3. Conversions

A TEI encoded document is, in general, not meant to be used directly by software programs, rather, it serves as an interchange and storage format. The ParlaMint project has produced various scripts to down-convert the XML encoded corpora to other formats and they can be found in the Scripts/ directory of the ParlaMint GitHub repository, with the README file listing them and explaining their function. In short, the scripts convert the ParlaMint XML to plain text, to CoNLL-U, and to vertical format. There is also a script that takes a ParlaMint corpus and makes from it a sample for inclusion to the ParlaMint GitHub repository.

10. Contributing to ParlaMint

The ParlaMint GitHub repository contains these guidelines, the ParlaMint XML schemas, the scripts used to validate, finalise and convert the ParlaMint TEI XML corpora to derived formats, and samples of the ParlaMint corpora. There are four main branches in the repository:

The validation procedure for corpora is explained in the Section on Validating ParlaMint corpora, while the technical aspects of contributing corpora is further explained in the CONTRIBUTING file of the repository.

The <gap>, <unclear>, and <del> core tag elements may be closely allied in use with the <damage> and <supplied> elements, available when using the additional tagset for transcription of primary sources. See section 11.3.3.2. Use of the gap, del, damage, unclear, and supplied Elements in Combination for discussion of which element is appropriate for which circumstance.

The <gap> tag simply signals the editors decision to omit or inability to transcribe a span of text. Other information, such as the interpretation that text was deliberately erased or covered, should be indicated using the relevant tags, such as <del> in the case of deliberate deletion.

Example
<gap reason="inaudible">  <desc>microphone muted</desc> </gap>

Note

The <head> element is used for headings at all levels; software which treats (e.g.) chapter headings, section headings, and list titles differently must determine the proper processing of a <head> element based on its structural position. A <head> occurring as the first element of a list is the title of that list; one occurring as the first element of a <div1> is the title of that chapter or section.

ExampleThe most common use for the <head> element is to mark the headings of sections:
<div type="debateSection">  <head>Regulation of Health and Social Care Professions Etc. Bill [HL]</head> ... </div>
ExampleThe <head> element may also be used to give the title to specialised lists:
<listEvent>  <head xml:lang="nl">Zittingsperiode</head>  <head xml:lang="en">Legislative period</head>  <event to="2007-05-02from="2003-06-05"   xml:id="period_51">   <label xml:lang="nl">Zittingsperiode 51</label>   <label xml:lang="en">Legislative period 51</label>  </event> ... </listEvent>

Note

A <pb> element should appear at the start of the page which it identifies. The global n attribute indicates the number or other value associated with this page. This will normally be the page number or signature printed on it, since the physical sequence number is implicit in the presence of the <pb> element itself.

The type attribute may be used to characterize the page break in any respect. The more specialized attributes break, ed, or edRef should be preferred when the intent is to indicate whether or not the page break is word-breaking, or to note the source from which it derives.

Using TEI-defined XPointer schemes is not allowed.

identsupplies a name which functions as the prefix for an abbreviated pointing scheme such as a private URI scheme. The prefix constitutes the text preceding the first colon.

Note

The abbreviated pointer may be dereferenced to produce either an absolute or a relative URI reference. In the latter case it is combined with the value of xml:base in force at the place where the pointing attribute occurs to form an absolute URI in the usual manner as prescribed by XML Base.

Note

The <seg> element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any segments of the text of interest for processing. One use of the element is to mark text features for which no appropriate markup is otherwise defined. Another use is to provide an identifier for some segment which is to be pointed at by some other element—i.e. to provide a target, or a part of a target, for a <ptr> or other similar element.

Example
<u who="#DavidPriorana="#regular">  <seg>I ask that the draft Regulations laid before the House on 5 December be approved.</seg>  <seg>The relevant document is the 20th Report from the Legislation Committee.</seg> </u>

Where there is confusion between <trait> and <state> the more general purpose element <state> should be used even for unchanging characteristics. If you wish to distinguish between characteristics that are generally perceived to be time-bound states and those assumed to be fixed traits, then <trait> is available for the more static of these. The <state> element encodes characteristics which are sometimes assumed to change, often at specific times or over a date range, whereas the <trait> elements are used to record characteristics, such as eye-colour, which are less subject to change. Traits are typically, but not necessarily, independent of the volition or action of the holder.

May containCharacter data only
Note

When this element appears within an <index> element, it is understood to supply the form under which an index entry is to be made for that location. Elsewhere, it is understood simply to indicate that its content is to be regarded as a technical or specialised term. It may be associated with a <gloss> element by means of its ref attribute; alternatively a <gloss> element may point to a <term> element by means of its target attribute.

In formal terminological work, there is frequently discussion over whether terms must be atomic or may include multi-word lexical items, symbolic designations, or phraseological units. The <term> element may be used to mark any of these. No position is taken on the philosophical issue of what a term can be; the looser definition simply allows the <term> element to be used by practitioners of any persuasion.

As with other members of the att.canonical class, instances of this element occuring in a text may be associated with a canonical definition, either by means of a URI (using the ref attribute), or by means of some system-specific code value (using the key attribute). Because the mutually exclusive target and cRef attributes overlap with the function of the ref attribute, they are deprecated and may be removed at a subsequent release.

Example<term> is used inside taxonomies to name the taxonomy and its categories:
<taxonomy xml:id="subcorpus">  <desc xml:lang="sl">   <term>Podkorpusi</term>  </desc>  <desc xml:lang="en">   <term>Subcorpora</term>  </desc>  <category xml:id="reference">   <catDesc xml:lang="sl">    <term>Referenca</term>: referenčni podkorpus, do 2020-10-30</catDesc>   <catDesc xml:lang="en">    <term>Reference</term>: reference subcorpus, until 2020-01-30</catDesc>  </category> ... </taxonomy>

Prose and a mixture of speech elements

Although individual transcriptions may consistently use <u> elements for turns or other units, and although in most cases a <u> will be delimited by pause or change of speaker, <u> is not required to represent a turn or any communicative event, nor to be bounded by pauses or change of speaker. At a minimum, a <u> is some phonetic production by a given speaker.

ExampleThe element <u> marks up a speech, as illustrated below:

<castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="Barnardo">Bernardo</role> </castItem> <castItem type="role">  <role xml:id="Francisco">Francisco</role>  <roleDesc>a soldier</roleDesc> </castItem> <!-- ... --> <sp who="#Barnardo">  <speaker>Bernardo</speaker>  <l n="1">Who's there?</l> </sp> <sp who="#Francisco">  <speaker>Francisco</speaker>  <l n="2">Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.</l> </sp>
Note

For transcribed speech, this will typically identify a participant or participant group; in other contexts, it will point to any identified <person> element.

Note

The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or any other externally-defined string identifying the referent.

No particular syntax is proposed for the values of the key attribute, since its form will depend entirely on practice within a given project. For the same reason, this attribute is not recommended in data interchange, since there is no way of ensuring that the values used by one project are distinct from those used by another. In such a situation, a preferable approach for magic tokens which follows standard practice on the Web is to use a ref attribute whose value is a tag URI as defined in RFC 4151.

ref(reference) provides an explicit means of locating a full definition or identity for the entity being named by means of one or more URIs.

In this example, the calendar attribute points to a <calendar> element for the Julian calendar, specifying that the text content of the <date> element is a Julian date, and the datingMethod attribute also points to the Julian calendar to indicate that the content of the when-custom attribute value is Julian too.

Note that the datingMethod attribute (unlike calendar defined in att.datable) defines the calendar or dating system to which the date described by the parent element is normalized (i.e. in the when-custom or other X-custom attributes), not the calendar of the original date in the element.

Note that this format does not currently permit use of the value 0000 to represent the year 1 BCE; instead the value -0001 should be used.

Appendix A.3.6 att.datcat

att.datcat provides attributes that are used to align XML elements or attributes with the appropriate Data Categories (DCs) defined by an external taxonomy, in this way establishing the identity of information containers and values, and providing means of interpreting them. [9.5.2. Lexical View 18.3. Other Atomic Feature Values]
Moduletei — Formal specification

Attributes
datcatprovides a pointer to a definition of, and/or general information about, (a) an information container (element or attribute) or (b) a value of an information container (element content or attribute value), by referencing an external taxonomy or ontology. If valueDatcat is present in the immediate context, this attribute takes on role (a), while valueDatcat performs role (b).

ExampleThe example below presents the TEI encoding of the name-value pair <part of speech, common noun>, where the name (key) ‘part of speech’ is abbreviated as ‘POS’, and the value, ‘common noun’ is symbolized by ‘NN’. The entire name-value pair is encoded by means of the element <f>. In TEI XML, that element acts as the container, labeled with the name attribute. Its contents may be complex or simple. In the case at hand, the content is the symbol ‘NN’.The datcat attribute relates the feature name (i.e., the key) to the data category ‘part of speech’, while the attribute valueDatcat relates the feature value to the data category common noun. Both these data categories should be defined in an external and preferably open reference taxonomy or ontology.
<fs>  <f name="POS"   datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3">   <symbol valueDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545"    value="NN"/>  </f> <!-- ... --> </fs>
‘NN’ is the symbol for common noun used e.g. in the CLAWS-7 tagset defined by the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language at the University of Lancaster. The very same data category used for tagging an early version of the British National Corpus, and coming from the BNC Basic (C5) tagset, uses the symbol ‘NN0’ (rather than ‘NN’). Making these values semantically interoperable would be extremely difficult without a human expert if they were not anchored in a single point of an established reference taxonomy of morphosyntactic data categories. In the case at hand, the string http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545 is both a persistent identifier of the data category in question, as well as a pointer to a shared definition of common noun.While the symbols ‘NN’, ‘NN0’, and many others (often coming from languages other than English) are implicitly members of the container category ‘part of speech’, it is sometimes useful not to rely on such an implicit relationship but rather use an explicit identifier for that data category, to distinguish it from other morphosyntactic data categories, such as gender, tense, etc. For that purpose, the above example uses the datcat attribute to reference a definition of part of speech. The reference taxonomy in this example is the CLARIN Concept Registry.If the feature structure markup exemplified above is to be repeated many times in a single document, it is much more efficient to gather the persistent identifiers in a single place and to only reference them, implicitly or directly, from feature structure markup. The following example is much more concise than the one above and relies on the concepts of feature structure declaration and feature value library, discussed in chapter [[undefined FS]].
<fs>  <f name="POSfVal="#commonNoun"/> <!-- ... --> </fs>
The assumption here is that the relevant feature values are collected in a place that the annotation document in question has access to — preferably, a single document per linguistic resource, for example an <fsdDecl> that is XIncluded as a sibling of <text> or a child of <encodingDesc>; a <taxonomy> available resource-wide (e.g., in a shared header) is also an option.The example below presents an <fvLib> element that collects the relevant feature values (most of them omitted). At the same time, this example shows one way of encoding a tagset, i.e., an established inventory of values of (in the case at hand) morphosyntactic categories.
<fvLib n="POS values">  <symbol xml:id="commonNounvalue="NN"   datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3"/>  <symbol xml:id="properNounvalue="NP"   datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1371_fbebd9ec-a7f4-9a36-d6e9-88ee16b944ae"/> <!-- ... --> </fvLib>
Note that these Guidelines do not prescribe a specific choice between datcat and valueDatcat in such cases. The former is the generic way of referencing a data category, whereas the latter is more specific, in that it references a data category that represents a value. The choice between them comes into play where a single element — or a tight element complex, such as the <f>/<symbol> complex illustrated above — make it necessary or useful to distinguish between the container data category and its value.
ExampleIn the context of dictionaries designed with semantic interoperability in mind, the following example ensures that the <pos> element is interpreted as the same information container as in the case of the example of <f name="POS"> above.
<gramGrp>  <pos datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3"   valueDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545">NN</pos> </gramGrp>
Efficiency of this type of interoperable markup demands that the references to the particular data categories should best be provided in a single place within the dictionary (or a single place within the project), rather than being repeated inside every entry. For the container elements, this can be achieved at the level of <tagUsage>, although here, the valueDatcat attribute should be used, because it is not the <tagUsage> element that is associated with the relevant data category, but rather the element <pos> (or <case>, etc.) that is described by <tagUsage>:
<tagsDecl partial="true"> <!-- ... -->  <namespace name="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">   <tagUsage gi="pos"    targetDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3">Contains the part of speech.</tagUsage>   <tagUsage gi="case"    targetDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1840_9f4e319c-f233-6c90-9117-7270e215f039">Contains information about the grammatical case that the described form is inflected for.</tagUsage> <!-- ... -->  </namespace> </tagsDecl>
Another possibility is to shorten the URIs by means of the <prefixDef> mechanism, as illustrated below:
<listPrefixDef>  <prefixDef ident="ccrmatchPattern="pos"   replacementPattern="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3"/>  <prefixDef ident="ccrmatchPattern="adj"   replacementPattern="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1230_23653c21-fca1-edf8-fd7c-3df2d6499157"/> </listPrefixDef> <!-- ... --> <entry> <!--...-->  <form>   <orth>isotope</orth>  </form>  <gramGrp>   <pos datcat="ccr:pos"    valueDatcat="ccr:adj">adj</pos>  </gramGrp> <!--...--> </entry>
This mechanism creates implications that are not always wanted, among others, in the case at hand, suggesting that the identifiers ‘pos’ and ‘adj’ belong to a namespace associated with the CLARIN Concept Repository (CCR), whereas that is solely a shorthand mechanism whose scope is the current resource. Documenting this clearly in the header of the dictionary is therefore advised.Yet another possibility is to associate the information about the relationship between a TEI markup element and the data category that it is intended to model already at the level of modeling the dictionary resource, that is, at the level of the ODD, in <equiv> element that is a child of <elementSpec> or <attDef>.
ExampleThe targetDatcat attribute is designed to be used in, e.g., feature structure declarations, and is analogous to the targetLang attribute of the att.pointing class, in that it describes the object that is being referenced, rather than the referencing object.
<fDecl name="POS"  targetDatcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-396_5a972b93-2294-ab5c-a541-7c344c5f26c3">  <fDescr>part of speech (morphosyntactic category)</fDescr>  <vRange>   <vAlt>    <symbol value="NN"     datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1256_7ec6083c-23d4-224d-6f94-eecbe6861545"/>    <symbol value="NP"     datcat="http://hdl.handle.net/11459/CCR_C-1371_fbebd9ec-a7f4-9a36-d6e9-88ee16b944ae"/> <!-- ... -->   </vAlt>  </vRange> </fDecl>
Above, the <fDecl> uses targetDatcat, because if it were to use datcat, it would be asserting that it is an instance of the container data category part of speech, whereas it is not — it models a container (<f>) that encodes a part of speech. Note also that it is the <f> that is modeled above, not its values, which are used as direct references to data categories; hence the use of datcat in the <symbol> element.
Note

The TEI Abstract Model can be expressed as a hierarchy of attribute-value matrices (AVMs) of various types and of various levels of complexity, nested or grouped in various ways. At the most abstract level, an AVM consists of an information container and the value (contents) of that container.

A simple example of an XML serialization of such structures is, on the one hand, the opening and closing tags that delimit and name the container, and, on the other, the content enclosed by the two tags that constitues the value. An analogous example is an attribute name and the value of that attribute.

In a TEI XML example of two equivalent serializations expressing the name-value pair <part-of-speech,common-noun>, namely <pos>commonNoun</pos> and pos="common-noun", one would classify the element <pos> and the attribute pos as containers (mapping onto the first member of the relevant name-value pair), while the character data content of <pos> or the value of pos would be seen as mapping onto the second member of the pair.

The att.datcat class provides means of addressing the containers and their values, while at the same time providing a way to interpret them in the context of external taxonomies or ontologies. Aligning e.g. both the <pos> element and the pos attribute with the same value of an external reference point (i.e., an entry in an agreed taxonomy) affirms the identity of the concept serialised by both the element container and the attribute container, and optionally provides a definition of that concept (in the case at hand, the concept part of speech).

The value of the att.datcat attributes should be a PID (persistent identifier) that points to a specific — and, ideally, shared — taxonomy or ontology. Among the resources that can, to a lesser or greater extent, be used as inventories of (more or less) standardized linguistic categories are the GOLD ontology, CLARIN CCR, OLiA, or TermWeb's DatCatInfo, and also the Universal Dependencies inventory, on the assumption that its URIs are going to persist. It is imaginable that a project may choose to address a local taxonomy store instead, but this risks losing the advantage of interchangeability with other projects.

Historically, datcat and valueDatcat originate from the (the now obsolete) ISO 12620:2009 standard, describing the data model and procedures for a Data Category Registry (DCR). The current version of that standard, ISO 12620-1, does not standardize the serialization of pointers, merely mentioning the TEI att.datcat as an example.

Note that no constraint prevents the occurrence of a combination of att.datcat attributes: the <fDecl> element, which is a natural bearer of the targetDatcat attribute, is an instance of a specific modeling element, and, in principle, could be semantically fixed by an appropriate reference taxonomy of modeling devices.

If both when and dur or dur-iso are specified, the values should be interpreted as indicating a span of time by its starting time (or date) and duration. In order to represent a time range by a duration and its ending time the when-iso attribute must be used.

In providing a ‘regularized’ form, no claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the regularized form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes of unifying variant forms under a single heading.

Appendix A.3.11 att.fragmentable

att.fragmentable provides attributes for representing fragmentation of a structural element, typically as a consequence of some overlapping hierarchy.
Moduletei — Formal specification
Membersatt.divLike[div] att.segLike[pc phr s seg w] p
Attributes
partspecifies whether or not its parent element is fragmented in some way, typically by some other overlapping structure: for example a speech which is divided between two or more verse stanzas, a paragraph which is split across a page division, a verse line which is divided between two speakers.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.enumerated
Legal values are:
Y
(yes) the element is fragmented in some (unspecified) respect
N
(no) the element is not fragmented, or no claim is made as to its completeness[Default]
I
(initial) this is the initial part of a fragmented element
M
(medial) this is a medial part of a fragmented element
F
(final) this is the final part of a fragmented element
Note

The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the element may be reconstituted.

xml:id(identifier) provides a unique identifier for the element bearing the attribute.
StatusOptional
DatatypeID
Note

The xml:id attribute may be used to specify a canonical reference for an element; see section 3.11. Reference Systems.

n(number) gives a number (or other label) for an element, which is not necessarily unique within the document.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Note

The value of this attribute is always understood to be a single token, even if it contains space or other punctuation characters, and need not be composed of numbers only. It is typically used to specify the numbering of chapters, sections, list items, etc.; it may also be used in the specification of a standard reference system for the text.

xml:lang(language) indicates the language of the element content using a ‘tag’ generated according to BCP 47.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.language
<p> … The consequences of this rapid depopulation were the loss of the last <foreign xml:lang="rap">ariki</foreign> or chief (Routledge 1920:205,210) and their connections to ancestral territorial organization.</p>
Note

The xml:lang value will be inherited from the immediately enclosing element, or from its parent, and so on up the document hierarchy. It is generally good practice to specify xml:lang at the highest appropriate level, noticing that a different default may be needed for the <teiHeader> from that needed for the associated resource element or elements, and that a single TEI document may contain texts in many languages.

Only attributes with free text values (rare in these guidelines) will be in the scope of xml:lang.

The authoritative list of registered language subtags is maintained by IANA and is available at http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry. For a good general overview of the construction of language tags, see https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/, and for a practical step-by-step guide, see https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-language-tags.en.php.

The value used must conform with BCP 47. If the value is a private use code (i.e., starts with x- or contains -x-), a <language> element with a matching value for its ident attribute should be supplied in the TEI header to document this value. Such documentation may also optionally be supplied for non-private-use codes, though these must remain consistent with their (IETF)Internet Engineering Task Force definitions.

xml:baseprovides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
StatusOptional

Note

The XML specification provides further guidance on the use of this attribute. Note that many parsers may not handle xml:space correctly.

Appendix A.3.13 att.global.analytic

corresp(corresponds) points to elements that correspond to the current element in some way.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
<group>  <text xml:id="t1-g1-t1"   xml:lang="mi">   <body xml:id="t1-g1-t1-body1">    <div type="chapter">     <head>He Whakamaramatanga mo te Ture Hoko, Riihi hoki, i nga Whenua Maori, 1876.</head>     <p></p>    </div>   </body>  </text>  <text xml:id="t1-g1-t2"   xml:lang="en">   <body xml:id="t1-g1-t2-body1"    corresp="#t1-g1-t1-body1">    <div type="chapter">     <head>An Act to regulate the Sale, Letting, and Disposal of Native Lands, 1876.</head>     <p></p>    </div>   </body>  </text> </group>
In this example a <group> contains two <text>s, each containing the same document in a different language. The correspondence is indicated using corresp. The language is indicated using xml:lang, whose value is inherited; both the tag with the corresp and the tag pointed to by the corresp inherit the value from their immediate parent.
<!-- In a placeography called "places.xml" --><place xml:id="LOND1"  corresp="people.xml#LOND2 people.xml#GENI1">  <placeName>London</placeName>  <desc>The city of London...</desc> </place> <!-- In a literary personography called "people.xml" --> <person xml:id="LOND2"  corresp="places.xml#LOND1 #GENI1">  <persName type="lit">London</persName>  <note>   <p>Allegorical character representing the city of <placeName ref="places.xml#LOND1">London</placeName>.</p>  </note> </person> <person xml:id="GENI1"  corresp="places.xml#LOND1 #LOND2">  <persName type="lit">London’s Genius</persName>  <note>   <p>Personification of London’s genius. Appears as an      allegorical character in mayoral shows.   </p>  </note> </person>
In this example, a <place> element containing information about the city of London is linked with two <person> elements in a literary personography. This correspondence represents a slightly looser relationship than the one in the preceding example; there is no sense in which an allegorical character could be substituted for the physical city, or vice versa, but there is obviously a correspondence between them.
synch(synchronous) points to elements that are synchronous with the current element.

Note

It is recommended that the element indicated be of the same type as the element bearing this attribute.

Appendix A.3.15 att.global.rendition

att.global.rendition provides rendering attributes common to all elements in the TEI encoding scheme. [1.3.1.1.3. Rendition Indicators]

<head rend="align(center) case(allcaps)">  <lb/>To The <lb/>Duchesse <lb/>of <lb/>Newcastle, <lb/>On Her <lb/>  <hi rend="case(mixed)">New Blazing-World</hi>. </head>
Note

These Guidelines make no binding recommendations for the values of the rend attribute; the characteristics of visual presentation vary too much from text to text and the decision to record or ignore individual characteristics varies too much from project to project. Some potentially useful conventions are noted from time to time at appropriate points in the Guidelines. The values of the rend attribute are a set of sequence-indeterminate individual tokens separated by whitespace.

stylecontains an expression in some formal style definition language which defines the rendering or presentation used for this element in the source text
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
<head style="text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps">  <lb/>To The <lb/>Duchesse <lb/>of <lb/>Newcastle, <lb/>On Her <lb/>  <hi style="font-variant: normal">New Blazing-World</hi>. </head>
Note

Unlike the attribute values of rend, which uses whitespace as a separator, the style attribute may contain whitespace. This attribute is intended for recording inline stylistic information concerning the source, not any particular output.

The formal language in which values for this attribute are expressed may be specified using the <styleDefDecl> element in the TEI header.

If style and rendition are both present on an element, then style overrides or complements rendition. style should not be used in conjunction with rend, because the latter does not employ a formal style definition language.

renditionpoints to a description of the rendering or presentation used for this element in the source text.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
<head rendition="#ac #sc">  <lb/>To The <lb/>Duchesse <lb/>of <lb/>Newcastle, <lb/>On Her <lb/>  <hi rendition="#normal">New Blazing-World</hi>. </head> <!-- elsewhere... --> <rendition xml:id="sc"  scheme="css">font-variant: small-caps</rendition> <rendition xml:id="normal"  scheme="css">font-variant: normal</rendition> <rendition xml:id="ac"  scheme="css">text-align: center</rendition>
Note

The rendition attribute is used in a very similar way to the class attribute defined for XHTML but with the important distinction that its function is to describe the appearance of the source text, not necessarily to determine how that text should be presented on screen or paper.

If rendition is used to refer to a style definition in a formal language like CSS, it is recommended that it not be used in conjunction with rend. Where both rendition and rend are supplied, the latter is understood to override or complement the former.

Each URI provided should indicate a <rendition> element defining the intended rendition in terms of some appropriate style language, as indicated by the scheme attribute.

Appendix A.3.16 att.global.responsibility

att.global.responsibility provides attributes indicating the agent responsible for some aspect of the text, the markup or something asserted by the markup, and the degree of certainty associated with it.

Attributes
resp(responsible party) indicates the agency responsible for the intervention or interpretation, for example an editor or transcriber.
StatusOptional
Datatype1–∞ occurrences of teidata.pointer separated by whitespace
Note

To reduce the ambiguity of a resp pointing directly to a person or organization, we recommend that resp be used to point not to an agent (<person> or <org>) but to a <respStmt>, <author>, <editor> or similar element which clarifies the exact role played by the agent. Pointing to multiple <respStmt>s allows the encoder to specify clearly each of the roles played in part of a TEI file (creating, transcribing, encoding, editing, proofing etc.).

Example
Blessed are the <choice>  <sic>cheesemakers</sic>  <corr resp="#editorcert="high">peacemakers</corr> </choice>: for they shall be called the children of God.

(This one has <sch:value-of select="count($srcs)"/>.) </sch:report> </sch:rule>
Note

The source attribute points to an external source. When used on an element describing a schema component (<classRef>, <dataRef>, <elementRef>, <macroRef>, <moduleRef>, or <schemaSpec>), it identifies the source from which declarations for the components should be obtained.

On other elements it provides a pointer to the bibliographical source from which a quotation or citation is drawn.

In either case, the location may be provided using any form of URI, for example an absolute URI, a relative URI, a private scheme URI of the form tei:x.y.z, where x.y.z indicates the version number, e.g. tei:4.3.2 for TEI P5 release 4.3.2 or (as a special case) tei:current for whatever is the latest release, or a private scheme URI that is expanded to an absolute URI as documented in a <prefixDef>.

When used on elements describing schema components, source should have only one value; when used on other elements multiple values are permitted.

Example
<p> <!-- ... --> As Willard McCarty (<bibl xml:id="mcc_2012">2012, p.2</bibl>) tells us, <quote source="#mcc_2012">‘Collaboration’ is a problematic and should be a contested    term.</quote> <!-- ... --> </p>

Example
<elementRef key="psource="tei:2.0.1"/>
Include in the schema an element named <p> available from the TEI P5 2.0.1 release.
Example
<schemaSpec ident="myODD"  source="mycompiledODD.xml"> <!-- further declarations specifying the components required --> </schemaSpec>
Create a schema using components taken from the file mycompiledODD.xml.

Note

This attribute class provides an attribute for describing a computer resource, typically available over the internet, using a value taken from a standard taxonomy. At present only a single taxonomy is supported, the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Media Type system. This typology of media types is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force in RFC 2046. The list of types is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The mimeType attribute must have a value taken from this list.

It needs to be stressed that the two attributes in this class are meant for strictly lexicographic and linguistic uses, and not for editorial interventions. For the latter, the mechanism based on <choice>, <orig>, and <reg> needs to be employed.

Appendix A.3.20 att.linguistic

joinwhen present, provides information on whether the token in question is adjacent to another, and if so, on which side.
StatusOptional
Datatypeteidata.text
Legal values are:
no
(the token is not adjacent to another)
left
(there is no whitespace on the left side of the token)
right
(there is no whitespace on the right side of the token)
both
(there is no whitespace on either side of the token)
overlap
(the token overlaps with another; other devices (specifying the extent and the area of overlap) are needed to more precisely locate this token in the character stream)
The example below assumes that the lack of whitespace is marked redundantly, by using the appropriate values of join.
<s>  <pc join="right">"</pc>  <w join="left">Friends</w>  <w>will</w>  <w>be</w>  <w join="right">friends</w>  <pc join="both">.</pc>  <pc join="left">"</pc> </s>
Note that a project may make a decision to only indicate lack of whitespace in one direction, or do that non-redundantly. The existing proposal is the broadest possible, on the assumption that we adopt the "streamable view", where all the information on the current element needs to be represented locally.
The English sentence ‘We're going on vacation.’ tagged with the CLAWS-5 tagset, arranged sequentially, tagged on the assumption that only the lack of the preceding whitespace is indicated.
<p>  <w pos="PNP">We</w>  <w pos="VBB"   join="left">'re</w>  <w pos="VVG">going</w>  <w pos="PRP">on</w>  <w pos="NN1">vacation</w>  <pc pos="PUN"   join="left">.</pc> </p>
Note

The definition of this attribute is adapted from ISO MAF (Morpho-syntactic Annotation Framework), ISO 24611:2012.

These attributes make it possible to encode simple language corpora and to add a layer of linguistic information to any tokenized resource. See section 17.4.2. Lightweight Linguistic Annotation for discussion.

Note

A duration is expressed as a sequence of number-letter pairs, preceded by the letter P; the letter gives the unit and may be Y (year), M (month), D (day), H (hour), M (minute), or S (second), in that order. The numbers are all unsigned integers, except for the last, which may have a decimal component (using either . or , as the decimal point; the latter is preferred). If any number is 0, then that number-letter pair may be omitted. If any of the H (hour), M (minute), or S (second) number-letter pairs are present, then the separator T must precede the first ‘time’ number-letter pair.

Declaration
tei_teidata.language = xsd:language | ( "" )
Note

The values for this attribute are language ‘tags’ as defined in BCP 47. Currently BCP 47 comprises RFC 5646 and RFC 4647; over time, other IETF documents may succeed these as the best current practice.

A ‘language tag’, per BCP 47, is assembled from a sequence of components or subtags separated by the hyphen character (-, U+002D). The tag is made of the following subtags, in the following order. Every subtag except the first is optional. If present, each occurs only once, except the fourth and fifth components (variant and extension), which are repeatable.

language
The IANA-registered code for the language. This is almost always the same as the ISO 639 2-letter language code if there is one. The list of available registered language subtags can be found at http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry. It is recommended that this code be written in lower case.
script
The ISO 15924 code for the script. These codes consist of 4 letters, and it is recommended they be written with an initial capital, the other three letters in lower case. The canonical list of codes is maintained by the Unicode Consortium, and is available at http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html. The IETF recommends this code be omitted unless it is necessary to make a distinction you need.
region
Either an ISO 3166 country code or a UN M.49 region code that is registered with IANA (not all such codes are registered, e.g. UN codes for economic groupings or codes for countries for which there is already an ISO 3166 2-letter code are not registered). The former consist of 2 letters, and it is recommended they be written in upper case; the list of codes can be searched or browsed at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/. The latter consist of 3 digits; the list of codes can be found at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49.htm.
variant
An IANA-registered variation. These codes ‘are used to indicate additional, well-recognized variations that define a language or its dialects that are not covered by other available subtags’.
extension
An extension has the format of a single letter followed by a hyphen followed by additional subtags. These exist to allow for future extension to BCP 47, but as of this writing no such extensions are in use.
private use
An extension that uses the initial subtag of the single letter x (i.e., starts with x-) has no meaning except as negotiated among the parties involved. These should be used with great care, since they interfere with the interoperability that use of RFC 4646 is intended to promote. In order for a document that makes use of these subtags to be TEI-conformant, a corresponding <language> element must be present in the TEI header.

There are two exceptions to the above format. First, there are language tags in the IANA registry that do not match the above syntax, but are present because they have been ‘grandfathered’ from previous specifications.

Second, an entire language tag can consist of only a private use subtag. These tags start with x-, and do not need to follow any further rules established by the IETF and endorsed by these Guidelines. Like all language tags that make use of private use subtags, the language in question must be documented in a corresponding <language> element in the TEI header.

 </alternate>
</content>
    
Declaration
tei_teidata.numeric =
   xsd:double | token { pattern = "(\-?[\d]+/\-?[\d]+)" } | xsd:decimal
Note

Any numeric value, represented as a decimal number, in floating point format, or as a ratio.

To represent a floating point number, expressed in scientific notation, ‘E notation’, a variant of ‘exponential notation’, may be used. In this format, the value is expressed as two numbers separated by the letter E. The first number, the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) is given in decimal format, while the second is an integer. The value is obtained by multiplying the mantissa by 10 the number of times indicated by the integer. Thus the value represented in decimal notation as 1000.0 might be represented in scientific notation as 10E3.

A value expressed as a ratio is represented by two integer values separated by a solidus (/) character. Thus, the value represented in decimal notation as 0.5 might be represented as a ratio by the string 1/2.

Declaration
tei_teidata.pattern = token
Note
A regular expression, often called a pattern, is an expression that describes a set of strings. They are usually used to give a concise description of a set, without having to list all elements. For example, the set containing the three strings Handel, Händel, and Haendel can be described by the pattern H(ä|ae?)ndel (or alternatively, it is said that the pattern H(ä|ae?)ndel matches each of the three strings)
Wikipedia

This TEI datatype is mapped to the XSD token datatype, and may therefore contain any string of characters. However, it is recommended that the value used conform to the particular flavour of regular expression syntax supported by XSD Schema.

The range of syntactically valid values is defined by RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax. Note that the values themselves are encoded using RFC 3987 Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) mapping to URIs. For example, https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/% is encoded as https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/%25 while http://موقع.وزارة-الاتصالات.مصر/ is encoded as http://xn--4gbrim.xn----rmckbbajlc6dj7bxne2c.xn--wgbh1c/

Notes
1
Note that this is a illustrative example, i.e. a valid ParlaMint corpus would also need certain attributes to be defined on the illustrated elements. This holds for all the examples in this section.
2
Note that parliaments also have unaffiliated (or independent) MPs, that can either belong to a special ‘unaffiliated’ parliamentary group or don't belong to any parliamentary group. For the former, they are simply not affiliated to any parliamentary group. For the latter, an ‘unaffiliated’ parlimentaryGroup organisation must be created, and such MPs are affiliated with it as members.
3
The ideal situation is that the organisation somebody is affiliated with is specificed as a organisation, using the <org> element (cf. the Section on Organisations) but if this is not the case, using <orgName> directly in the <affiliation> is an alternative encoding.
4
Note that, in general, the utterance can also be split in the middle of a sentence, which brings with it problems for automatic linguistic processing, as, ideally, the parts should be first joined, and only then processed.
5
These are typically tagset developed and used for specific languages and can be found in the XPOS column of CoNLL-U files, which is the native format for UD treebanks.
6
Note that the example is rendered in three lines, however, the correct encoding in the corpus is actually in a single line, without any spaces between the elements, as otherwise the new line and indenting spaces are actually a part of the word ‘abyste’.
7
Because <name> and <phr> can give conflicting markup (i.e. crossing tags) the current script annotates phrases only where they are not related to names, i.e. not only conflicting markup, but also nestings of phr/name and name/phr are forbidden and such MWEs are not retained in the XML. Furthermore, due to a bug in the script, phrases adjecent to names are also not retained. We hope to introduce a better script and encoding in the future.
