Root Element for bundling text technical metadata technical aspects of the text generation, whether analog-to-digital or born digital. It has a single attribute, QUALITY, used to record a quality measure for the output of the encoding process (OCR quality, transcription quality, etc.). hardware platform on which document was original produced, including specific computer type and any scanner used for OCR.

Information regarding the encoding of characters within the file, including the standardized name of the character set, the byte order, the character size, and the line break mechanism. The character set employed by the text. Controlled vocab using IANA names for character sets. See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for details. Byte order, primarily useful for cases where it’s not clear just by specifying an IANA character set. Uses a fixed list of ‘big,’ ‘little,’ and ‘middle' endian. The size of an individual byte within the expressed as a number of bits. This does not necessarily equal the character size, as a character may have more than one, or a variable number of bytes per character. The size of an individual character within the character set as a number of bytes of the size expressed in the byte_size. In the case of variable encodings, such as UTF-8 for Unicode, the character_size element should state "variable" and also identify the specific variable character set encoding in the encoding attribute. How line breaks are represented in current file (which may differ from how they were originally encoded). Either carriage return, or carriage return/line feed. Language(s) used in work.
