Attached at the bottom is rough draft of a teiHeader spec. I basically wrote it as an example teiHeader with comments scattered all over to explain things. Since I'm not a cataloging expert (heck, I'm don't even qualify as a catalog neophyte), I'm relying heavily on what is in Marcello's documentation and the original TEI documentation. I basically just picked out stuff that looked important and relevant based on stuff I've done before. I'm sure I've missed some things. Please take a look through this and point out items that aren't covered and you think should be. Also, if anything is unclear, let me know. I'll try to explain it better (and update the explanation in the spec). Remember, the goal is to be able to grab information from the teiHeader in each etext to generate cataloging information (this ties in nicely with the ongoing MARC discussions around here). Josh PS The next document will be the actual markup spec rough draft. This one will probably be delayed until after the US Thanksgiving holidays (I don't think well with 5 pounds of turkey digesting in my tummy!)
