## Text vs witness vs codex
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the ISMI data model the TEXT is an abstract, ideal entity. The WITNESS is a concrete, singular exemplar; a bunch of folios covered with writing. The WITNESS is an exemplar of a TEXT (WITNESS is_exemplar_of TEXT).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TEXT has an author (TEXT was_created_by PERSON). The WITNESS has a copyist (WITNESS was_copied_by PERSON).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The WITNESS is bound (possibly together with other WITNESSes) in a CODEX (WITNESS is_part_of CODEX). The CODEX is part of a COLLECTION (CODEX is_part_of COLLECTION). The COLLECTION is part of a library/REPOSITORY (COLLECTION is_part_of REPOSITORY). The REPOSITORY is in a city (REPOSITORY is_in PLACE).

|
The usual identification of a manuscript "Staatsbibliothek Berlin, Sprenger 1855" is spread over multiple objects: PLACE("Berlin"), REPOSITORY("Staatsbibliothek"), COLLECTION("Sprenger"), CODEX("1855").
