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.

TEXTUALFEATURES

Found in WRITING, this is one of three big-bucket tags with PRODUCTION and RECEPTION. Most of the same comments apply as on those tags, though TEXTUALFEATURES almost never includes CHRONSTRUCTs. This element addresses content and features of critical interest in texts and provides space for textual analysis/close readings as perceived by project members. No text is allowed directly within the TEXTUALFEATURES element; another element must be opened first. The optional elements most at home in TEXTUALFEATURES include: TCHARACTERIZATION, TCHARACTERTYPEROLE, TCHARACTERNAME, TGENRE, TGENREISSUE, TINTERTEXTUALITY, TMOTIF, TPLOT, TSETTINGDATE, TSETTINGPLACE, TTECHNIQUES, TTHEMETOPIC, TTONESTYLE, and TVOICENARRATION.
