More work on search, and a metadata problem
As I work on the search page, I'm using XQuery to harvest lists of data to use for drop-downs (author names, text types, and so on). In the process of doing this, I looked a bit more closely at some of the markup and found a few oddities, such as image file names with spaces, and links to old schema files. I've cleaned these up, and posted the resulting files back onto the server.
I also built test versions of the interactive images for each of the image markup files, in the process generating the smaller versions of the images required for the Web pages, then uploaded these, along with the original files, into the scans
folder. Then I checked all of the XML files (for texts and images), and uploaded them into the database.
A problem has emerged with the <publisher> tag. Some texts seem to have much more information in the publisher tag that should really be there. These are the ones that I think need fixing:
arrest_contre_lest_chastrez.xml
shows<publisher>Iouxte la coppie imprimée à Bourdeaux pour Anthoine Barre, Avec permission.</publisher>
. Should this just be "Anthoine Barre"? The full text shown here looks like it should be in a <respStmt> tag, or possible a <note>.response_des_servantes.xml
has<publisher>Paris, 1636; Rpt. dans Variétés historiques et littéraires. Recueil de pièces volantes rares et curieuses en prose et envers. Tome III. Ed. E. Fournier. Paris : P. Jannet, 1855 : 101-08.</publisher>
. This looks like the entire bibliographical information entered in the publisher tag instead of in the individual tags where it belongs.sermon_des_cocus.xml
has<publisher>Dans Le Bibliophile fantaisiste ou choix de pièces désopilantes de rares. Turin : J. Gay et fils, 1869 : 359-70.</publisher>
. Again, this looks like full publication info in the publisher tag.
I can fix these, but I'll need the go-ahead from Claire.
