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.

EDUCATION is one of the 16 major, DIV1 elements defined as integral to mapping a woman's life in the BIOGRAPHY section of entries. EDUCATION contains all information about a person's educational experience. Particular emphasis is placed on where and when she went to school (content tagging here will provide important links between different women writers who had the same teacher or went to the same school), gender issues (the conditions affecting women's access to education), and subjects studied (making connections between a subject studied by the writer and topics of her writing). In most instances this element will directly follow the FAMILY element capturing information about the subject’s parents, and education from primary to post-secondary will be included in the same element. But it can be used repeatedly in one entry to reflect chronology or to apply different attribute values - when, for example, the subject attended university later in life. This tag has content sub-elements: AWARD, COMPANION, CONTESTEDBEHAVIOUR, DEGREE, INSTRUCTOR, SCHOOL, SUBJECT, TEXT. It has an optional attribute, MODE, used to register whether the education took place at home, in an institution or self-driven.
