#575: Check on semantic tags that span across folios

opened by njr2128

When a phrase to be tagged spans across more than one folio, we encounter a few problems and there is the possibility that there has not been a consistent solution.

For example, on 18v-19r, "pieces de campaigne" is an entire phrase to be tagged as <wp>

18v ....<wp>pieces</ab> 19r de campaigne</wp> ...

In order to prevent well-formedness errors, 2 approaches have been taken: 1. add closing and opening weapon tags to each part of the phrase, i.e.

18v ....<wp> pieces </wp></ab> 19r <wp> de campaigne </wp>... 2. add <sup> tags to the first section and removing <wp> from the second part

TO DO: - Check what has been done to see if this has been done consistently (and whether it matters) - For controlled/normalized vocabulary, these decisions need to be taken into consideration for term lists as they may create confusing or incomplete entries
