Recommendations for multiple speakers #125

Description

@lb42

Unless I've missed it, there's no recommendation in the doc about how to encode the situation where a speech is associated with multiple speakers. In my corpus, quite frequently, speeches are attributed to "omnes" or to "both" or to "all the women". Also, speeches are sometimes attributed to two or more specific speakers bracketed together, though this is less frequent. My practice is to assign all such cases to a bogus person with identifier "XXX_Mult" (where XXX is the play identifier), until a better solution comes along. When I know which speakers are intended by "both", or when both speaker names are explicit in the text, I could take the trouble to supply multiple values on the corresponding @who attribute, but I am not sure if that is supported by the Dracor API. Is it?
