The Basic Structure of the Publication Statement (//fileDesc/publicationStmt)

The Publication Statement (<publicationStmt>) of the File Description contains publication-specific information on the respective DTA edition:

  • publishing institution (normally "Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften");
  • publishing project (normally "Deutsches Textarchiv");
  • publication date;
  • place of publication;
  • license that applies to the DTA edition (see chap. License Details);
  • data for unambiguous identification of the DTA full text: unique ID number of the DTA ("DTAID"), DTA directory name ("DTADirName");
  • Addresses of the possible accesses to the document, grouped in a superior <idno> element:
    • web presentation ("URLWeb", "URN")
    • download of the XML/TEI version ("URLXML")
    • download of the text version ("URLText")
    • download of the HTML version ("URLHTML")
    • download of the XML/TEI text enriched by the results of the orthographic normalization using CAB ("URLCAB")
    • download of the TCF version ("URLTCF")
    • Handle PID of the CMDI metadata set ("PIDCMDI")

The <publisher> element is always in the first place as a subelement in <publicationStmt>.

Attention: Persistent identifiers (PIDs) should be used for the addresses of the possible document accesses to ensure that the source can be reached in the long term via the specified address.
