Byzantine Seals in TEI-XML: the SigiDoc Guidelines (under construction)

SigiDoc is a data model for the scholarly edition of Byzantine seals in TEI-XML, largely based on the experience gained by EpiDoc for inscriptions and papyri. This means that becoming familiar with the EpiDoc Guidelines is extremely important also when using SigiDoc. These SigiDoc Guidelines are mainly focused on four major topics: the metadata (such as physical description, history, dating, etc.), the transcription of seals' legends, features such as apparatus criticus, commentary or bibliography, and the indexing of the data (to these topics should be added the general overview of the XML structure of a SigiDoc edition, available here).

Consequently, this page groups together the links to all these main sections of the Guidelines:
