Question about proper encoding of names, councils, etc. #71

I was wondering how best to encode the name "Clement V" in an attribute. Should I include the numeral "V" inside of the attribute and/or inside of the wrapping element (i.e., should the attribute read ref="#ClementV" or ref="#Clement")? As a follow-up, should I only include "Clement" or"Clement V" inside of the "name" wrapper?

Similarly, any advice for how to encode a specific event like the Council of Vienna?

My take on this would be:

Viennense sub <name ref="#ClementV">Clemente V</name>

But of course this requires there to be some referent for the pointer #ClementV in a prosopographical file somewhere (or at least that is the assumption when making such a pointer). Right now I think the prosopographical content is somewhat in a state of flux, but we are thinking of different ways of sharing this sort of content.

We have not really talked about encoding of events. There is a whole chapter in the guidelines about these sort of things (http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ND.html) which you can take a look at, and there of course there is the <event> element (http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-event.html). It does not receive any special treatment in the LBP schema, but that doesn't prevent you from using it, since the lombard press schema defines conventions for a subset of the TEI P5 schema but still complies with the whole P5 schema.
