Yes, the real difference is that for teidata.enumerated then you should have a valList in your ODD enumerating the specific values for your project. Indeed... if we wanted to add checks into an ODD editor like Roma, one could have it check through all classes and elements included in the ODD and find any attributes with teidata.enumerated and check that they have a valList, and if not prompt a user to enter one. That would, however, be quite strict, so maybe only in a future checker 'strict' mode (otherwise just a warning). ;-) Many thanks, James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@newcastle.ac.uk Senior Lecturer in Late-Medieval Literature and Digital Humanities School of English, Newcastle University ________________________________ From: Raffaele Viglianti Sent: 19 August 2019 19:38 To: James Cummings Cc: tei-council@lists.tei-c.org Subject: Re: [Tei-council] Issue 1908 Sounds fine to me. It looks like teidata.enumerated is just a wrapper for teidata.word anyway...?

Although I fixed the corrigible error for this ticket 25 days ago (within minutes of it being submitted ;-)) I noticed that the datatype for the @role attribute on <org> is teidata.word. For another issue I was looking at the @role attribute usage in other places and it is usually teidata.enumerated and that would make sense with this attribute as well. Any objections if I modified tei:org/@role to be teidata.enumerated instead of teidata.word? (This has no backwards compatibility issues as far as I'm aware, but means that a project _should_ document this list of possible values... which is a good thing.)
