Tag Glossary

Orlando's content is structured by the unique XML tagset described in the Introduction and visualized in the Tag Diagrams. To assist in understanding Search result facets and Tag Search, this Glossary provides definitions for tags and attributes (descriptors associated with tags). Some attributes have set values. These are often explained within definitions of attributes. Other attribute values, such as genre names, are defined within the ontologies of the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory, which hosts Orlando’s production environment. Searches on this page retrieve tags, attributes, and definitions, but not necessarily attribute values.

TSETTINGPLACE, belonging conceptually to WRITING > TEXTUALFEATURES, addresses the real or imaginary place in which a fictional (not a factual) text is set. Encloses statement, with a tagged PLACE (or several) included if possible. This element has no mandatory or optional sub-elements but has two optional attributes, SETTINGCLASS and SETTINGPLACETYPE. SettingClass has values of upperClass, workingClass, middleClass, and wideRange (recognizing the separate existence of, e.g., both well-heeled London and squalid underbelly London). The attribute TSETTINGPLACETYPE has the values fictive, real, and identifiable. TSETTINGPLACE can be used twice of the same text, with different SettingPlaceType attribute values, in the case of e.g. an imaginary house set at an actual address.
