From my perspective in these cases the letter neither has been sent
nor received
. But after all it is a 'correspondence action'. So probably a <correspAction type="concept">
would be appropriate. <persName>
should state the writer of the concept, while any proposed addressee is merely a person 'just' mentioned and should thus be encoded in the proposed correspDesc/note
.
@evidence
wouldn't be the right choice at this point as far as I understand the TEI Guidelines correctly.
Has there been any progress in this issue? If I understand https://digiversity.net/2015/perspectives-of-the-further-development-of-the-correspondence-metadata-interchange-format-cmif/ (section "Textual Basis") correctly, the idea is to use a letter concept as the source of information for a letter that was actually sent. Thus the sender wouldn't necessarily be the same person as the one who wrote the concept, and the sent/received date would be in the future.
After reconsidering the @evidence
proposal at last week's SIG meeting, I for one would be fine with this approach. Any progress would be welcome, really.
I'm still not convinced of using @evidence
for this. Why not use @type
(and @subtype
) on <correspDesc>
? They're already allowed in TEI, and this way we could be more precise about details, e.g.
<correspDesc type="print" subtype="partial">
On the other hand, this would go along well with @type
on <correspAction>
.
And yes: Any progress would be welcome, really.

Gabriele Radecke from the Fontane-Arbeitsstelle at the Georg August University in Göttingen, request a possibility to mark the type of the textual basis of the letter in CMIF. Because in the use-case of her project (Fontane's notebooks), she has just concepts of letters and cannot always verify whether these concepts were really (and unchanged) sent or not.
