Until the elements described in this document, or similar ones, have been formally integrated wih the rest of the TEI structure, their use requires the definition of a TEI extension set, as defined in TEI P3 (reference). This extension set comprises two files, called here msDesc.ent and msDesc.dtd, the former containing definitions of parameter entities needed for this set of extensions, and the latter containing the actual SGML element and attribute definitions which make up the required modifications.
The definitions here assume the availability of a number of elements from other TEI tagsets, in particular the additional tagsets for figures, names and dates, and manuscript transcription. With all these in place, a complete TEI conformant document making use of the manuscript description tagset will begin as follows:
<!DOCTYPE TEI.2 SYSTEM "tei2.dtd" [ <!ENTITY % TEI.prose "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % TEI.transcr "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % TEI.names.dates "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % TEI.figures "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % TEI.corpus "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % TEI.extensions.ent SYSTEM "msDesc.ent"> <!ENTITY % TEI.extensions.dtd SYSTEM "msDesc.dtd"> ]&nil;]>
This file, and others making up the DTD, are available from the URL http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/Master/Reference/DTD/. Both XML and SGML versions of a one-file DTD are available from the same location.
The list of tag sets above makes available a large number of standard TEI elements, not all of which are required for manuscript description purposes, and which are therefore excluded from the Master DTD. This exclusion is achieved by including in the extension entity file the following set of parameter entity declarations:
