Well, as we have been discussing in the Slack on related examples: Is this also an example of a lemma? That is certainly how I would see it, as it is a pointer into the text.
Should it be included in indexing? I think so. It think it is highly relevant to include these kinds of quotes exactly for the specified reason: As they point very exactly to the text they discuss, they are very good markers for identifying text on that specific passage. That is a good use case I guess for indices, right?
If they are marked as <quote type="lemma">
you could of course include a switch in your app indicating whether you want to include lemmata in your search results.
Given this example recommend the example below.
In short, the suggestion of <seg type="incipit">
is being replaced with <quote type="lemma">
so that it can take advantage of using the general quotation pattern, but be separated from other main quotes through the use of the type="lemma".
<p>Item,
<ref xml:id="refid" corresp="quoteid2">
super illud <title>Psalmi</title>:
<cit>
<quote xml:id="quoteid" type="lemma" ana="#ps15_1">Dixi, confitebor</quote>
<bibl>Psalm XXX</bibl>
</cit>
Glossa:
</ref>
<cit>
<quote xml:id="quoteid2" source="http://scta.info/resource/glossa-section-id">Votum pro operatione iudicatur</quote>
<bibl>Glossa, XXX</bibl>
</cit>
ergo tantum valet bene velle, quantum velle et operari,
ergo etc.
</p>
In this example:
I've been treating the italicized snippet from the Psalm as a quote.
<quote ana="#ps31_5">Dixi, confitebor</quote>
But is it more accurate to identify this as a reference, which according to the spec would be recorded as follows?
<ref>super illud Psalmi <seg type="incipit">Dixit confitebor</seg></ref>
Questions:
would we want this snippet of the psalm to show up in an index of quotations. If you wanted to ask for all instances of Psalm 31:5 would you want this instance to show up?
would we want this snippet NOT to show up when we did a search for all instances of Psalm 31:5. Would this be a distraction or noice in our search results.
If you wanted to do both, we could allow it to be marked as
<seg type="incipit" ana="#ps31:5">
but queries become more complicated because now we have to search for bothquotes
andsegs
.Or we could adjust the spec to allow for a
quote
with an@type="incipit"
.In a way, aren't all "incipits" a quote of some kind?
