Created by David Schloen of the University of Chicago. Text document type. A Text document represents a text, normally an ancient text written using a complex writing system (e.g., Egyptian hieroglyphs or Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform). A Text document points to (1) an epigraphic hierarchy represented by a Tree document that organizes EpigraphicUnit documents, and (2) a discourse hierarchy represented by a Tree document that organizes DiscourseUnit documents. Spatial units that correspond to the text (considered as an artifact) are represented by links to relevant SpatialUnit documents. The content consists of any number of trees of epigraphic or discourse units which describe/define the text. The hierarchy(s) of epigraphic units that physically make up a text (i.e., the whole text, sections, columns, lines, and signs) are represented by Tree document(s) that organize the relevant EpigraphicUnit documents. The hierarchy(s) of discourse units that make up a text (i.e., the whole text, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases, words, morphemes) are represented by Tree document(s) that organize the relevant DiscourseUnit documents. Note that an undeciphered or unread text has no discourse units, even though it has epigraphic units. The languages attribute indicates the language(s) in which the text is written, stored as a series of space-separated NMTOKEN language IDs. nestedVariableIndex nestedValueIndex nestedDocIdIndex nestedLinkIndex
