My document was an article detailing an interview between the article’s author and the creator of a podcast about the decline of Hartford, Connecticut. The document is fairly simple, comprised mostly of plain text, with 3 images interspersed. Each question and answer by the speaking parties were treated as their own paragraph.
Because the structure of the document was quite simple, I used <p> tags to encapsulate each paragraph, and <img> tags for each image. Because the document is structured as an interview, a more complete TEI markup of the document may have encapsulated the questions and answers as lines by separate speakers in a stage performance. However, I am not familiar enough with TEI to know how to structure that properly, so <p> tags were sufficient.
Most of the TEI specific markup in my document came in the form of <name> tags. The interview had many mentions of city names, organization names, and the names of people, all requiring <name> encapsulation. Different types of names had their own type classification, for example, New York City would have a <name type=”City”> tag. The mentions of dates required <date> tags, and as mentioned before, images used <img> tags. The document had bibliographical info in the text, which was kept in and also copied into a <bibl> section outside of the <body> tags.
