This repository documents the proposal to insert diplomatics concepts into the framework of the TEI-P5 (http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/), based on the experiences of the Charters Encoding Initiative (http://www.cei.lmu.de)
Should the legalActor element belong to the class model.personLike, so that it can be used in elements where only personLike elements are allowed? This is, for example, the case in the element personList, used in the participant description to list persons occurring in the document and their relation to each other (see TEI guidelines). Currently, legalActor can only be used very unintuitively, leaving questions about where to put the corresp attribute:
The necessary change in the ODD would comprise only one line:
<elementSpec ident="legalActor" mode="add">
<desc> Persons or organizations party to or otherwise mentioned in a an act or contract. </desc>
<classes>
<memberOf key="att.global"/>
<memberOf key="att.typed"/>
<memberOf key="model.inter"/>
<memberOf key="model.pLike"/>
<!-- change start -->
<memberOf key="model.personLike"/>
<!-- change end -->
</classes>
...
</elementSpec>
