Types of text (OFSO)
For OFSO, to differentiate original text from editorial text, capture the div[1-7,N],
displayText, or span element with a role attribute value of authentic
or editorial
.
HE distinguishes text written by an original author (i.e. the text of the work) from that written by the editor of the scholarly edition (introduction, notes, etc.)
For example:
- in a collection of letters or poems, each individual item may have editorial text preceding and/or following the original text;
- a chapter of a book may have an editorial introduction
