Schematron

All inline persNames must have a ref that points to the personography db.

<sch:rule context="tei:persName[not(parent::tei:person)][@ref]">
<sch:assert test="matches(@ref,concat('^prs:', $persIdPattern, '$'))">ERROR: All persName pointers must have an @ref that begins with "prs:" followed by 5 uppercase letters and a number (e.g. prs:FORBR1).</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>

Do not use roleName, but use occupation instead.

<sch:rule context="tei:persName/tei:roleName">
<sch:assert test="false()">ERROR: Rolenames should not be denoted in a persName directly; all role information should be encoded using the occupation element.</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>

<sch:rule context="tei:*[@calendar]">
<sch:assert test="string-length( normalize-space(.) ) gt 0">@calendar indicates one or more systems or calendars to which the date represented by the content of this element belongs, but this<sch:name/>element has no textual content.</sch:assert>
