Schema of objective variables ➟

They are several variables (<category>) which provide relevant information on the character's acting (primary data): verb category, sphere, context, role, genetic-sex, which follow the same semantic frame for marking up a type of taxonomy:

<taxonomy xml:id="objectiveData">
    <category xml:id="NAME OF A VARIABLE"/>
    <category xml:id="NAME OF A SUBVARIABLE"/>
</taxonomy>

Note: a variable = category or taxonomy. A subvariable = subcategory or subtaxonomy.

➤ Each @xml:id from <taxonomy> ➞ <category>[1], and <taxonomy> ➞ <category>[1] ➞ <category>[2] will be use in R.

Verb category (= action category)
- For the semantic type of the lexicon verb — semantics categories are the ones used by the lexical database WordNet, semantics correspondance come from both WordNet and VerbNet and for checking the relation between concept, BabelNet and FrameNet ¹. It goes without saying that variation of ugaritic meaning will be analyzed within the hermeneutics argumentation.
  - Semantics categories of: bodily functions and care (verb.body), cognition (verb.cognition), communication (verb.communication), competition (verb.competition), consumpution (verb.consumpution), contact (verb.contact), creation (verb.creation), emotion (verb.emotion), motion (verb.motion),perception (verb.perception), possession (verb.possession), social (verb.social), stative (verb.stative)
- Category <category>[1] ➞ @xml:id TAXO: verb.creation
  - Subcategories (still under development as the transciption moves forward), <category>[2] ➞ @xml:id subTAXO: i.e. destroying (for TAXO verb creation)
  - XLM-TEI example:
```
<category xml:id="verb.category" ana="#action">
  <category xml:id="verb.creation">
    
    <catDesc>taxonomy: creation verbs</catDesc>
    <category xml:id="destroying">
      <catDesc>subcategory of creaction's verb, as a concept: destroying

    </catDesc>
   </category>
 </category> 
 […]
</category>              
```
Context
- ➯ in which the action takes place.
- Subcategories <category> ➞ @xml:id: assembly, battle, burial, complaint, feast, lawsuit, prayer, revenge, ritual, seduction, single combat, threat, visit, wedding, unknown (unknown_C), broken context (B_ctx_C).
- XML-TEI example:
```
<category xml:id="context">
    <category xml:id="ritual"/>
</category> 
```
Sphere
- ➯ where the event takes place, inside or outside the household.
- Subcategories <category> ➞ @xml:id: inside, outside, unknown (unknown_S), broken context (B_ctx_S).
- XMT-TEI example:
```
<category xml:id="sphere">
    <category xml:id="inside"/>
</category>
```
Role
- ➯ of the animated entity (= Being)
- Subcategories <category> ➞ @xml:id: active, passive, both Active (animated entities X and Y)
- XML-TEI example:
```
<category xml:id="role">
    <category xml:id="active"/>
<category/>      
```
Genetic sex
- ➯ traditionally known.
- Subcategories <category> ➞ @xml:id: female, male
- XML-TEI example:
```
<category xml:id="Genetic-sex">
    <category xml:id="Female"/>
<category/>
```
