Timesheet for JJ's RA:
Processed timesheet for TL; filed copy; forwarded to payroll.

1. Abas son of Lynceus and Hypermnestra: has two “Spouses” listed, Aglaia and Lyrcus. Lyrcus is his bastard son, not his spouse.
2. Anchises who is the father of Echepolus of Sicyon, who is a Greek, cannot be the same Anchises as the one who is the father of Aeneas, since they are Trojan. at least it seems very unlikely. I would create a second Anchises.
3. Gorgophone’s spouse is correctly listed as Perieres, but Perieres’ spouse is incorrectly listed as Gorgo (who is the spouse or something of Egyptus).
4. One of Gorgo’s possible mothers is listed as Andromeda, but this is again because she has been confused with Gorgophone.
5. Another of Gorgo’s possible mothers is listed as Androdamas, but Androdamas is a male, son of Phlias.
6. Androdamas’ spouse is given as Phineus, but Phineus is also male and never (successfully) married.
7. All of the children ascribed to Androdamas are actually children of Andromeda.
8. Phineus’ spouse is listed as Andromeda, but in fact he didn’t marry her, because Perseus turned him to stone first. Phineus had no spouse.
9. Aphareus is listed as the father of Ida (a nymph who reared Zeus), Lynceus, and Pisus, and Lynceus’ siblings are listed as Ida and Pisus. However Aphareus is the father of IDAS (a son), not Ida, who has no known parents, like most nymphs. Aphareus’ children are Idas, Lynceus and Pisus; Lynceus’ siblings are Idas and Pisus.

Like MH, spent most of the day fixing CSS syntax errors. I decided to write a process that goes at the beginning of the validation build that creates a bunch of small CSS files for validation against the VNU; each separate node becomes a CSS stylesheet, with the node's XPath is embedded within the filename. The errors are then parsed by an XSLT that also retrieves the node that contains the error and then outputs a message and breaks the build.

Plan of attack going forward, I think, will be to create a new validation process that will be the automatic transformation scenario for each TEI file. It will:

1. Validate the file(s) against the RNG
2. Validate the file(s) against the Schematron
3. Check for duplicate ids
4. Validate embedded CSS (if any)
5. Maybe run some common diagnostics (ref/name/bibl stuff, perhaps).

Late duty.
