TASK: Work out final markup details for teiJournal
Posted by mholmes on 27 Feb 2007 in Tasks
We have a set of sample documents ready for use in the teiJournal project here. However, a number of issues remain to be resolved with regard to the exact details of the markup practice:
- There is too much duplication, especially of author and title information. It should be possible to limit this, perhaps by eliminating some elements, or (better, perhaps) by using XInclude to automatically include information from the formally-structured
<biblStruct>element in the header into the main header<titleStmt>and into the document's<front>tag. - There are some unresolved issues with regard to marking up quotations. Where a quote is followed immediately by a reference, they can be enclosed neatly in a
<cit>tag, but when the reference information is introduced discursively in the text, it's harder to tie the quote to its reference. We need to investigate ways to do this, using attributes and ids, then write formal instructions for it. - There should also be a way to tie a
<bibl>tag to the full<biblStruct>tag in the bibliography. - We need to look at how to formalize the classCode system, and then XInclude that information into the header of each document.
- Running titles must be allowed for, but it's not clear exactly how we should do it. The best approach might be to use the type attribute to supply other title types in the
<biblStruct>.
