Status 'incomplete' and 'unavailable' for bios etc.

KS-W and I clarified and extended the existing system for classifying bios, and place and vessel definitions, and I updated the XSLT accordingly:

  • unavailable: No content has been written yet.
  • incomplete: Some content exists, but it is unfinished or inadequate, and will be rewritten in future.

A number of existing bio entries will be reclassified from incomplete to unavailable by KS-W.

Meeting on future for maps

Met with JL, CP, IO'C, and DB-M re the georeferencing of maps from the Coldesp collection and the Library's collection. There will be another meeting in September to thrash out more details, and in February to look at some results from student work in a GIS class on some of the existing maps.

Colonial Despatches

The Colonial Despatches is an XML database project which is creating a digital archive containing the original correspondence between the British Colonial Office and the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. The project lives at http://bcgenesis.uvic.ca, and the web application runs on the Pear dev Tomcat. The XML data is managed in SVN at http://revision.tapor.uvic.ca/svn/coldesp/.
