!!! note "Hierarchy"
The `id` and `xpath` attributes contain the information to locate the element in the hierarchy
of XML elements in the text. We could use this to represent that hierarchy by means
of edge features.
However, we have not done that, because in the Text-Fabric the embeddedness of the nodes
is completely clear, and while that is not exactly the same as the tree-relation,
it is sufficient, because the TEI elements encode merely a rather shallow sectional hierarchy
and not a deep linguistic hierarchy.
