Meeting with Karin about updates to XML structure
Posted by mholmes on 16 Apr 2007 in Activity log, Tasks
These issues are relevant to me:
- Spaces between stanzas will be denoted using the
<space>tag instead of using notes, as they currently are. This will have the effect of removing many notes which are currently cluttering up the apparatus. - The
rendattribute will be rationalized, and the range of its values reduced. For now, one thing I should do is to write my code so that it ignores all varieties of "smcap", but doubles the font size for "lgcap". Adding this as a task to make that happen. - The
typeattribute on<div>tags will be rationalized, so that all poem-type divs will have a value beginning withpoem_. Other values fortypewill becollective, which is the main container div for all the poems,notation, which will be for inline comments (usually in another hand), andnotation_marginal, which is for marginalia. The last two should show up as children of a poem div, so they will need to be rendered by my code in some way. - Trailers will be encoded using
<trailer>or<closer>tags, and my code will have to render these too as part of rendering poems. - People will be listed in a
<particDesc>element in the<profileDesc>, as a<listPerson>. Each<person>tag will be linked to one or more online sources (the DNB or LOC) using an<ident>tag, distinguished bytype="DNB"etc. Karin will create this list of people, and I'll pull relevant items from it to place in the XML document for each individual poem, and render the info into the apparatus.
Posting minutes spent discussing and documenting this.
