Oxford University Press Text Capture Instructions

 

Titles profile metadata

Capture aristocratic titles in profile metadata using a combination of metaDescribes predicate="type", metaDescribes predicate="number", metaDescribes predicate="rank", metaDescribes predicate="name", metaDescribes predicate="order", and metaDescribes predicate="qualifer".

metaDescribes[@predicate="type"]
metaDescribes[@predicate="number"]
metaDescribes[@predicate="rank"]
metaDescribes[@predicate="name"]
metaDescribes[@predicate="order"]
metaDescribes[@predicate="qualifier"]

Capture aristocratic titles (i.e. Baron Tenterden; First Archbishop of Canterbury; Knight) in a metaItem about="title". Capture particular information about the title in either a metaDescribes predicate="type", metaDescribes predicate="number", metaDescribes predicate="rank", metaDescribes predicate="name", metaDescribes predicate="order", or metaDescribes predicate="qualifier" element.

Capture the type of the title profile metadata in metaDescribes predicate="type" using one of the following values:

  • aristocratic
  • ecclesiastical
  • nickname

metaDescribes predicate="number" must hold a number such as 'first', 'twenty-third', etc.

metaDescribes predicate="rank" must hold a rank such as 'Baron', 'Archbishop', or 'Knight'.

metaDescribes predicate="name" must hold the name of the place such as 'Tenterden', 'Caterbury'.

metaDescribes predicate="order" must hold the name of the order such as 'Order of the British Empire'

metaDescribes predicate="qualifier" must hold the name of the qualifier such as 'Jacobite'

Not all of these fields will be present in every title. For instance, someone with a title of 'Knight' would only have metaDescribes predicate="rank" captured.
