This part of the guidelines provides a detailed description of the formats of the Text Alignment Network. The material is organized according to the structure that governs the schema files, so both can be read in tandem.
Chapter 3, General Underpinnings outlines, in a non-technical way, the principles and technical foundations of the TAN format.
Chapter 4, Patterns and Structures Common to All TAN Encoding Formats, Chapter 5, Class-1 TAN Files, Representations of Textual Objects (Scripta), Chapter 6, Class-2 TAN Files, Annotations of Texts, and Chapter 7, Class-3 TAN Files, Varia comprehensively describe all the TAN formats. Each chapter starts with theoretical or scholarly background, to provide a contextual explanation for the technical points that follow.
Chapter 8, TAN patterns, elements, and attributes defined, the first of two very long chapters, provides a comprehensive, detailed explanation of the rules for every element and attribute, as well as the patterns into which they fall. This chapter includes a thorough list of relevant validation rules and examples. It has been written using a stylesheet that traverses the official TAN schemas, functions, and examples.
Chapter 9, Official TAN keywords lists all the vocabulary items that have
already been defined as a core part of the format. This chapter is, essentially, a
different way of looking at the TAN-key files that are in the TAN-key
folder.
The chapters in this part of the guidelines should be read selectively, not consecutively. They have been written with the assumption that you have already read the previous part (Part I, “General Overview”) and that you have already started to create and edit a TAN collection.
Because readers will come from different specialties, all acronyms, abbreviations, and concepts are defined and explained, albeit tersely. Concepts or technologies are discussed only insofar as they affect the use of TAN; suggestions for further reading are provided for those who want a more thorough introduction to a topic.
