Dear everyone Has anyone had any experience of using tei to encode information about maps and various other objects? We are talking to a group who want to record information about maps and sword guards, etc, in a collection otherwise encoded in tei. Most of what they need is in <bibl> but some things are not. Here is a roughish specimens of what they are looking at, adapting existing tei structures, for maps:
<listBibl.map>
<bibl.map>
<imprint>
<pubPlace></pubPlace> <publisher></publisher> <date></date> </imprint>
<physDesc.map> <form>Single sheet. Engr.</form> <size>Printed area 500 x 610 mm; on sheet 570mm x 650mm</size> <technique>Copper engraving</technique> <appearance>hand-coloured</appearance> </physDesc.map>
<geoDesc>Japan and China</geoDesc>

Any help or advice or wise words welcome peter
