| | 35 | <!--l. 26--><p class="noindent" >Two data entry specifications were distributed, one for texts in the Latin alphabet and one for Chinese. |
| | 36 | For both writing systems, ECHO pages served as examples. |
| | 37 | </p><!--l. 30--><p class="indent" > After a few notes on a Chinese text regarding the data entry specifications, a text in Latin alphabet |
| | 38 | was discussed concerning its idiosyncrasies, e. g. ligatures. A diplomatic transcription of the |
| | 39 | characters is planned, however, most of the ligatures are to be resolved except for the most common |
| | 40 | ones (e. g. <span |
| | 41 | class="pplri8t-x-x-109">æ </span>and <span |
| | 42 | class="pplri8t-x-x-109">œ</span>). |

| | 51 | <!--l. 41--><p class="noindent" >Characters are to be typed preferably in Unicode, not in XML tags, i. e. they should be directly typable, |
| | 52 | not as entities. |
| | 53 | </p><!--l. 44--><p class="indent" > Unknown characters are to be numbered by the digitizers. Same instances of one unknown |
| | 54 | character get the same number so that these can be resolved easily. |

| | 59 | <!--l. 50--><p class="noindent" >The basis of the conversion to XML will be XML schemata, rather than DTDs. RELAX NG is the |
| | 60 | proposed language for writing these schemata. |
