revise trial reference elements

Posted by on 12 Jun 2009 in Activity Log

Modified proofing and for mysql rng files, and 1790s data files by replacing the names of these two elements:
<trial_publication>some book</trial_publication>
<trial_correspondence>some other thing</trial_correspondence>

with these:
<trial_printed_sources>some book</trial_printed_sources>
<trial_other_documents>some other thing</trial_other_documents>

Also created a 1790s folder, put all the dev files into that. Created a 1800s folder and put copies of all the rng files into that. Will update those and the instructions for generating XML from word file.

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.
