Outcome of editorial meeting
Posted by mholmes on 10 Apr 2008 in Activity log
These are some points emerging from the editorial meeting:
- Glossing will be handled through the use of
<seg>elements with an@anaattribute pointing at a list item element in the back of the document, like this:[main doc] ...<seg ana="#blah">bleoh</seg>... [back matter] <list> ... <item xml:id="blah">blah, blah blah</item> ... </list>
This will allow centralization of glossing, so one gloss can be referred to many times; and it will also allow us to generate links from the glossary back to all the items in the text. - Introductory notes in the
<head>of a poem will be unified into a single, multi-paragraph editorial note, which will be rendered distinctly based on its context. - Other notes in the text will be distinguished as editorial or paleographic, using an
@typeattribute. - Scribal annotations will be
<note type="annotation">. They often contain editorial notes, but these can presumably be rendered as normal, if their position inside marginalia doesn't cause problems. - All images (of glyphs etc.) will be moved to the Cocoon environment, so they can be shown without logging into ETCL's Webspace.
- Much more material will be added to the header, especially editorial intro text, and some of that text may be referred to from (and optionally pulled into) the intro sections of individual poems.
- I'll wait on a stable new version of the XML file before starting to make changes.
- We'll aim to work on the redesign in the second week in June.
