Schema specification

For <title> in <titleStmt> for work records we require a specific structure for the xml:id. Other occurrences of <title> NOT in <titleStmt> should have a ref. The structure of titles id is fixed. Values for type are listed in a close list and evidence is allowed. Beta maṣāḥǝft Guidelines

context rule report
tei:title[@ref] matches(@ref, '\s+')
not(matches(@ref, 'LIT\d+\w+') or matches(@ref, 'NAR\d+\w+') or matches(@ref, 'STU\d+\w+'))
Please remove spaces from the value of attribute ref. Only one value is allowed.
The textual or narrative unit ID you have entered is wrong. Textual units IDs must match the pattern LIT\d+\w+, narrative units must match the pattern NAR\d+\w+, studies must match the pattern STU\d+\w+.
tei:title[not(@type='short')][ancestor::tei:TEI[@type='work']][ancestor::tei:titleStmt] not(@xml:id or @corresp)
title in a Work entity must always have an @xml:id which identifies alternative titles or a @corresp pointing to one of such xml:ids. Format of the id should be like t1 t2, etc. and thus in @corresp #t1, #t2, etc.
tei:title[ancestor::tei:TEI[@type='work']][not(ancestor::tei:titleStmt)] not(@xml:id or @ref)
title in work must always have an @xml:id which identifies alternative titles and/or a @ref pointing to the correct Work entity. Format of the id should be like t1 t2, etc.
tei:title[not(parent::tei:ab)][ancestor::tei:TEI[@type='work']][@xml:id] not(matches(@xml:id,'t\d+'))
Titles of works must have ids starting with the letter 't' followed by a progressive number, e.g. t1, t2, t3
tei:title[not(text())][not(parent::tei:titleStmt)] matches(following-sibling::text()[1], '^\w') or matches(preceding-sibling::text()[1], '\w$')
There should be a space before and one after the element title
