The Tag Glossary: J

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.

Historical Term


JOB, a sub-element available within OCCUPATION and also under MEMBER, within FAMILY, is meant to capture the types of non-literary employment done by women writers and their families. It encloses just a word or phrase describing the job. We are interested in comparing the kinds of jobs women did in different historical periods and the kinds of jobs family members did. We want to facilitate research, for example, on the influence of living in a parsonage on women writers and would therefore like to track women who had fathers and mothers who were ministers. The tag has one optional attribute, REG, which standardizes the name of a job. By regularizing, the attribute REG serves to group jobs: professor, reader (Britspeak), lecturer are all REG=academic.
