Changes to 1790s XML file; SD to re-proof

Posted by on 01 Mar 2011 in Activity Log

SD wants to double check the 1790s XML data. So, I made a new version of the 1790s XML file, 1790-1799_new_structure.xml, to take into account the changes SD and I made to the XML structure. I used the 8_to_9_SD_changes.xsl stylesheet for the transformation (the same one I used for the 1800s data). The data may have to be re-imported into the MySQL database; not too sure yet.

Capital Trials at the Old Bailey

Simon Devereaux has approximately 10,000 records of people convicted in potentially capital cases between 1710 and 1840 in London heard at the Old Bailey court. This project will create a web-based database which will allow interested researchers and members of the public to compose queries on that data (e.g. women charged with robbery 1710-1720). It must be able to support a range of queries and produce output allowing researchers to identify trends in judicial practice over that time.
