reconcile docs with new data structure

Posted by on 17 Mar 2008 in Activity Log

Reconciled crimePardonOutcome_lists.txt, BaileyCapitalTrials.txt and recordstructure080301.xml so that they all agree on elements and structure. Possible questions:
- which of two crime groupings to use
- normalized respites and respite groups may be redundant, but having both would make respites consistent with crimes and outcomes

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.
