These libraries include some essential epigraphic components for Cadmus. The components will be reused in a wider context.

For instance, an inscription item might include parts like:

(a) general:

• ExternalIdsPart: all the IDs linked to the item.
• MetadataPart: general purpose metadata.
• AssertedLocationsPart: geographical location(s).
• AssertedToponymsPart: toponym(s).
• HistoricalDatePart: date.

• EpiSupportFrrPart
• EpiScriptsPart
• EpiSignsPart
• EpiTechniquePart

(b) classification:

• CategoriesPart: general thematic tags from some taxonomy.
• IndexKeywordsPart: multiple-language keywords which can be grouped under several sections ("indexes").

(c) comment:

• CommentPart: generic comment.
• NotePart: free text note. Might be useful for redactional purposes.

• layer of CommentLayerFragment's: comment specific words of the text.
• layer of EpiLigaturesLayerFragment's: annotate ligatures across 2 or more letters.
• layer of ChronologyLayerFragment's: annotate dates on specific dateable expressions.

Also, you might want to add epigraphic formula items, having an EpiFormulaPatternsPart to describe its patterns, and other generic parts for its metadata, categories, keywords, datation, etc.
