Needed to know the name of the script that makes an HTTP request; assuming a referer url like http://somedomain.com/script.xql?param=value
Added a functx function:
declare function inc:substring-after-last-match
( $arg as xs:string? ,
$regex as xs:string ) as xs:string {
replace($arg,concat('^.*',$regex),'')
};
Used it like this:
let $referer := substring-before(inc:substring-after-last-match(request:get-header("referer"),'/'),'?')
Provides "script.xql" as the referer.
TIL that you can boost results by adjusting your lucene index to rank certain types of results higher than others.
Short version: add this: <text qname="placeName" boost="2.0"/> to your collection.xconf to double the relevancy of results marked up with 'placeName'.
Long version: see docs here.
Set up your lucene instructions in collection.xconf so that you're using the standard analyzer instead of the whitespace analyzer (which is the rather inflexible default). Here's what's inside my lucene structure:
<analyzer id="sa" class="org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer"/> <analyzer id="ws" class="org.apache.lucene.analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer"/> <text qname="tei:div" analyzer="sa"/>
I've been looking for some good online references for characters and places, and I've found these:
The Classical Gazetteer by William Hazlit (1851)

While building the places.xml file I decided to get a list of all places without coordinates (either because we don't know or because they're fictional). This is the list (with a few comments):

On and off for the last couple of weeks I've been working on the Perseus-generated xml that MP will be editing, trying to make it as coherent as possible.
I now have several reasonable P5 data files (apollodorus.xml,characters.xml,groups.xml,events.xml) using a schema generated using the odd-by-example script.
The cruft left over from the P4 original will need to be addressed, though (chunks wrapped in "div1" for example). Ideally, I'd like to enclose each logical chunk (e.g. Apollodorus 1.1.1) in a div with an appropriate xml id, but the problem is that I'd end up with overlapping hierarchies. I assume that's why milestones were used by the Perseus project.

If so we ought to make a new event such as "Cadmus is received hospitably by the Thracians" with place being "Thrace") "event/place"
§ 3.4.2 - ID638, Cadmus is mortal father of Polydorus (1) (add Harmonia as god mother of Polydorus (1) also) "character/character/citation"

- ID670, Dionysus wanders through (place "India", text says that Dionysus set up pillars there, should we change to "…and sets up pillars in India" to reflect this?) "event/place" **Nevermind**
§ 2.5.10 - ID1989/2214, Echidna and Poseidon are god parents of 'an immortal dragon' (if this is referring to Orthus, then can we delete these 2 records? There is no specific mention in 2.5.10 of a dragon borne to Echidna and Poseidon) "character/character/citation" **Moved to 2.5.11**

- Should we add an event "Hercules is ordered to do an eleventh labor, fetching golden apples from the Hesperides, since Eurystheus did not acknowledge two of Hercules' labours"?
- ID1395, Phrasius advises the Egyptians to make human sacrifices to Zeus (should this be changed to reflect that in particular strangers were sacrificed, and that Phrasius himself was the first to be sacrificed?) "event/character/citation"
§ - ID1396, Hercules steals a cow and eats it (text says he sacrificed a bullock, or young bull, should this say "bull" instead?) "event/character/citation"
§ 2.5.12 - ID1418-1419, Hercules goes to be initiated (Hercules and Eumolpus (1) are noted, should we also add Pylius? Text says "since [Hercules] proposed to be initiated as the adoptive son of Pylius") "event/character/citation"
2.6
2.6.1 - ok
2.6.2 - Add event "Hercules gets an oracle by himself, which declares that to be free of disease he must be sold, and serve for three years"?

§ - ID85/499, Hercules' expedition to Ilium (Oicles and Telamon are part of this group, but not Hercules, add?) "group/character/citation"
* - Hercules thanks Telamon by giving him Hesione as a prize, does this mean that she is his spouse? Please clarify, also for future references of spoils of war if humans are taken does that make them spouses or slaves, or both? I suppose context will be very important in issues like this.
2.7
2.7.1 - ok
2.7.2 - ok
§ 2.7.3 - ID547, Hercules attacks the Lacedaemon with Cepheus… (change to "Hercules attacks Lacedaemon…"?)

§ 2.7.4 - ID554, A bull from Geryon's herd escapes Hercules (does not belong in 2.7.4) "event/place" **Deleted**
2.7.5 - ok
* 2.7.6 - ID466, Architeles is mortal father of Eunomos (Frazer's footnote says that his name is "variously given as Eunomus, Ennomus, Eurynomus, Archias, Cherias, and Cyathus", if we use Eunomus should we change spelling? Also, text doesn't explicitly name the victim, other than he was a kinsman of Oeneus and son of Architeles) "character/character/citation"
- ID1546-1548, Hercules accidentally kills Eunomos… (ibid., change to "Hercules accidentally kills son of Architeles/Eunomus…"?) "event/character/citation"
- ID564, Nessus ferries Deianira across the river… (place is cited as "Lycormas", but text says "he came to the river Evenus", change to "Evenus"?) "event/place"

* - Text mentions Hercules bore "by Anthea …", is this also lost or do we know if any other sources mention whom Hercules had with Anthea?
- I just noticed now that there are 2 entries for "Omphale", but they are not named Omphale (1) and Omphale (2) like other characters, should we check this to see if it needs to be done, or are they supposed to be the same Omphale?
§ - ID1408, Chalciope (2) is mortal mother of Thetallus (text says "Thettalus", change?) "character/character/citation" **Changed character "Thetallus" to "Thettalus"**
2.8
* 2.8.1 - Text says "the Athenians bore the brunt of war with Eurystheus, and slew his sons, Alexander, Iphimedon, Eurybius, Mentor and Perimedes. Eurystheus himself fled in a chariot…" but the records for character/character/citation state that Hercules is the father of these men. Is Eurystheus the father? It would make more sense in the context of the passage. If so, many of the records under 2.8.1 need to be changed to reflect this.
§ - Hercules/Eurystheus is mortal father of Mentor (add?) "character/character/citation" **Cited Hercules as mortal father of Mentor**

Eurystheus goes to war with the Athenians, Eurystheus and his sons are killed.", also quoted Mentor in this event**
§ - ID581, Hylllus gives Eurystheus' severed head with weaving pins, who gouges out the eyes (correct spelling and change to "Hyllus gives Eurystheus' severed head to Alcmena, who gouges out the eyes of the head with weaving-pins"?) "event/place"
2.8.2 - Text mentions the Heraclids at this point, but they are not a group in the database. Should we create a group of the Heraclids?
- ID1596-1597, The sons of Hercules conquer the Peloponnese… (should we change to "The sons of Hercules, the Heraclids, conquer the Peloponnese…"?) "event/character/citation"
- Add event "The Heraclids quit the Peloponnese and dwell in Marathon", place "Marathon"?
§ 2.8.3 - ID1610, Heraclids fight for the Peloponnese… ("Tismaneus" is involved in this event, but he should be corrected in spelling to "Tisamenus") "event/character/citation" **Changed character to "Tisamenus"**
