I marked up all the illustrations for SAM 66 and NKS 1867 in two files before I left at the end of July. However, I have since decided that it would be better to mark up each illustration in an individual file. I am using a full teiHeader, with msDesc in the sourceDesc, and am using msItem to describe one illustration per file.

I created templates for the illustrations in the two manuscripts and have completed the initial mark up. I met with Martin today and we discussed fine-tuning the mark up to avoid tag abuse and to facilitate mapping to Dublin Core.

I am going to:

• add the Linking Module to my schema so that I can change “facs” attributes to “corresp”
• use the “when” attribute in dates that are certain, and “not-before” and “not-after” otherwise
• change the dates for revisions to read year-month-date
• put file size into “extent” for the size of the digital image
• use the attributes: “decls” “height” and “mimeType” in the graphic element to describe the image file and to supply “type” and “format” for mapping to Dublin Core
• use a note element inside persName of contributors in the Resources div to list contributions to the scholarship regarding the individual illustrations
• change “facs” to “xml:id” in the facsimile element

When I create the file for names of contributors, I will:

• create listPerson within the particDesc
• persName will include a “role” attribute to indicate authors, illustrators, etc.

When I create the file for names of gods, giants, monsters etc., I will use a simple list with name placeName etc. within each item
