Personal names and prosopography
It is likely that an epigraphic or papyrological project will need to maintain a database or authority list containing onomastic or basic prosopographical data on persons named in the corpus. In addition to the tags and attributes suggested below, therefore, the individual names might be linked to the keys or ids in this controlled list.
As a minimum, personal names should be tagged with the persName tag, as demonstrated below. In addition, the attributes 'reg' and 'key' may be used to offer normalised spelling and link to a database/authority list, respectively.
