Type-Values used for <name>, <persName>, ...

ingoboerner commented 3 weeks ago

We allow for typing <name>, <persName> (especially of the authors, but also characters) and the like. In the legacy ODD we had a close list of type values allowed for <person>: Following the strategy of #67 the closed value list will be converted to "semi" which means we provide suggested values that are supported by the API and/or foreseen in the encoding guidelines.

It would be helpful if we had not only examples of the type of names but also definitions or descriptions of the values, @lehkost

Currently I have:

<valItem ident="variant">
                                        <gloss>Name variant</gloss>
                                        <desc>Alternative to the name of a person</desc>
                                    </valItem>

I am not sure about the difference of "pen" and "pseudo" Could you provide better definitions?

 <valItem ident="pen">
                                        <gloss>Pen Name</gloss>
                                        <desc>Pseudonym used by writers or authors</desc>
                                    </valItem>

<valItem ident="pseudo">
                                        <gloss>Pseudonym</gloss>
                                        <desc>Fictitious name used by a person, often an author or
                                            artist, to conceal their identity.</desc>
                                    </valItem>

I am also not too sure about "noble", you mean names like "Catherine II"? There are two other terms that might be of relevance here:

Regnal Name: This refers to the official name adopted by royalty or other high-ranking individuals, often with an ordinal (like "Catherine the Great" or "Louis XIV") to denote their position in a lineage.
Dynastic Name: This refers more to a family or house name, like "Habsburg" or "Windsor," often indicating the royal house or lineage.

At some point it would also make sense to look into the type values used for various name like elements and define a global type list that can then be reused in the schema.

What we also have is "patronym", but on a sub-element:

<valList mode="replace" type="semi">
                                    <valItem ident="patronym">
                                        <gloss>Patronym</gloss>
                                        <desc>Father-derived middle name. Used for example in in
                                            RusDraCor.</desc>
                                    </valItem>
                                </valList>

See also https://github.com/dracor-org/dracor-api/issues/119 And did we have an issue on HunDraCor name things, like the ordering of the names?
