Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

Abbreviations

For the OSEO product, capture abbreviations that occur within the editorial text as abbrev elements with a ref attribute pointing to the id of the relevant abbrevExpansion or bibItem elements.

All products must use the standard Lists of abbreviations mark-up for abbreviation lists.

The manifest document will instruct where to find the abbreviation listing for a book. This may be in the front or end matter, or in a different book in the series.

Only capture abbreviation in work text [see Editorial or authentic content] when specially instructed by the manifest document. In this case, there will usually be a set of local abbreviations associated within the work.

Capture of abbreviations must conform to the following rules:

  • abbrev elements must have a ref attribute pointing to an abbrevExpansion or bibItem elements.
  • abbrev elements that refer to a abbrevExpansion or bibItem element that is listed in a separate book must have a docRef attribute that is the book element id of the separate book.

Abbreviations local to the book


<p>Date: It is hard to date the manuscript precisely. Its owner, Edward, second Viscount
Conway, died in 1655. More precisely, it is obviously later than 1637, later than the final
form of <abbrev ref="actrade-9780198117377-abbrevExpansion-1">A</abbrev>; but it must also
antedate Fanshawe's publication of <abbrev ref="actrade-9780198117377-bibItem-39">
<i>1648</i>
</abbrev> in that it displays variant readings of poems published in <abbrev ref="actrade-9780198117377-bibItem-39">
<i>1648</i>
</abbrev> which accord with <abbrev ref="actrade-9780198117377-abbrevExpansion-1">A</abbrev>.</p>

<p>Du Moulin submitted the <i>Examen</i> to the Synod of Privas (1612) for review ahead of
publication. Despite positive reviews, he was counselled not to publish the work as the
Synod hoped for peace between Du Moulin and Daniel Tilenus (1563–1633, French
theologian) (ch. 13 in <abbrev docRef="actrade-9780199606757-book-1" ref="actrade-9780199606757-bibItem-611">Quick, <i>Synodicon</i>
