Leaving a little early.

Laid out a set of questions for the ISE team on the structure and co-occurrence restrictions surrounding some ISGML tags. Made further progress with the TEI-to-ISGML conversion:
- Wrote handlers for some of the styling and alignment tags which must (apparently) be implemented at the line level rather than at the higher levels where we would put them in @rendition in TEI. This handles a limited set of stuff right now, but ultimately will handle more.
- Fixed a bug with column and page break occurrences.
- Wrote an Oxygen ant transformation which runs the XSLT transformation, saves the results, and then runs MJ's XML-generation tool from the toolchain to generate ISE XML, and checks that for well-formedness.
The results show some nesting issues with columns right now, but I've just learned there's actually a Java validator for the ISGML directly, so I'll have to get hold of that.

Began initial markup for Pausanias, mostly research RE: new characters. 2:30-4:30, 2 hours.
Worked on Places folder 10:30am-4:30pm=6hours
Went through the spreadsheet updating info on Japanese directories, checking against UBC and Nikkei holdings, and found some more puzzling issues with dating. Wrote to the team to suggest we make some decisions on what to encode after examining the documents. Right now we only have material from a single year.
Rewrote bits of the code so you can just plug in a morpheme id and get a fresh page and JSON for that item without overwriting anything else; tested and bugfixed with a bunch of other morphemes, committing the results to the repo in case ECH can use them.
Spent some time compiling the numbers for the final IB report for the 2014-15 work; found a couple of oddities and discrepancies in the process, and fixed them. Sent the report back to CW for completion of the remaining sections by JL and library staff.
