Language: deu, eng · document date: Mon May 14 15:38:41 2012

The following table provides an overview of all elements contained by the DTA-Guidelines. For each element a list of all possible attributes and their corresponding values (if invariable) is given. Each element belongs to a level, which specifies the necessity of its usage in accordance with the DTA-Guidelines. Furthermore, elements are assigned to functional categories, which specify the contexts of their usage. Attributes of the DTA-Guidelines, which can be used with most of the DTA-elements (universal attributes), are listed below the following table. For further documentation of the necessity levels and the functional categories see the end of this page.

Restriction levels

Level 1	Elements, that have to be considered to fullfill the DTA-guidelines. These elements are used consequently in the DTA-corpus.
Level 2	Elements included in the DTA-guidelines, that may be ignored in text annotation. They are used in all texts of the DTA-corpus.
Level 3	Elements, which are not part of the DTA-guidelines, but that are compatible with the DTA-schema. They are not consequently used in the texts of the DTA-corpus.
Level 4	Elements, which were explicitly excluded from the DTA-guidelines. They should therefore be avoided in favor of the solutions offered in the DTA-guidelines.
