Primary data

Primary data are data faithfully extracted from text, and marked up with a type of attributes to be parsed with R - this first step is essential for counting the performances of action per (animated) entity.

Note:

XPath: /teiCorpus/TEI/teiHeader/encodingDesc[1]/classDecl[1]/taxonomy[1]
XML-TEI elements: taxonomy|category
XML-TEI attributes: @xml:id
Values: action|Being
OntoMedia ontology: class Being, specific use in fiction — be aware that for the explanation, “animated entity” will be used.
Schema of primary data ➟

------------------------------------

Note: Preliminary step before introducing attributes values for Primary data: list of the animated entities (characters, attribute's value #Being) within the XML-TEI element <listPerson>:

XPath: /teiCorpus/TEI[1]/teiHeader[1]/profileDesc[1]/particDesc[1]
XML-TEI elements within TEI|teiHeader: profileDesc|particDesc|listPerson|person|persName
XML-TEI attributes: @type|@ana|@xml:id
Values: Being|CHARACTER

Current research in the Cycle of Baʿlu and ʿAnatu by alphabtetic order, “Character”: ʿAnatu (ANT), ʾAṯiratu, (ATH), ʾAṯtartu (ATT), Baʿlu (BAL), ʾIlu (ILU), Koṯaru (KOT), Baʿlu's messengers (MES_B), ʾIlu's messengers (MES_I), Yammu's messenger (MES_Y)s, Môtu (MOT), Šapsu (SAP), Yammu (YAM), warrior(s) (WAR), unknown (UNK).

XML-TEI example for ʿAnatu, attributes within the elements <profileDesc> ➞ <particDesc> ➞ <listPerson> elements before the XML-TEI attributes for xml:id action and Being:

<profileDesc><particDesc>
   <listPerson type="character" ana="#Being" xml:id="Character"> <!-- animated entity -->
      <person ana="#whatCharacter">
         <persName xml:id="ANT">ʾAnatu</persName>
       </person>
   </listPerson>
</particDesc></profileDesc>

------------------------------------

Primary data within the elements <encodingDesc> ➞ <classDecl>:

Action (verb):
- ➯ A verb is the most relevant lexeme in a group of words or a sentence which is used to denote an action — this hypothesis for this preliminary of hermeneutics of action was made following my reading on the philosophy of action and the pragmatics¹. A verb (@xml:id="action") belongs to a category (= <category>: TAXO) and sub-category (= <category>: subTAXO).
- XML-TEI:
```
<taxonomy xml:id="primaryData"> 
    <category xml:id="action"/> 
</taxonomy>     
```
Being (= animated entity):
- ➯ any character acting within one or several relevant objective and subjective variables.
- XML-TEI attribute for Primary data Being:
```
<taxonomy xml:id="primaryData"> 
   <category xml:id="Being"/>   
</taxonomy>       
```
