Schema

The MPDL Echo schema is developed by the schema group of this project and could be found ​here.

Elements

An Echo document (element „echo“ with namespace „echo“) consists of a metadata part (element „metadata“) which contains the Dublin Core metadata of the document and a fulltext part (element „text“) which contains the content of the document.

Dublin Core metadata elements (namespace dcterms):

• identifier

• accessRights

Fulltext elements:

• text flow elements: head, div (type, level, style), p (style), lb, cb, gap (extent)
• text structure elements: s
• figure elements: figure, image (file), caption (style), description (style), variables (style), handwritten (xlink:href)
• note elements: note (xlink:label), anchor (type, xlink:href)
• quotation elements: q, quote, blockquote, set-off
• translation elements: foreign (lang, xml:lang), reg (orig)
• mathematical elements: var (type), num, mml:*
• geographical elements: place, event, time
