Landscapes of Injustice

One typo fixed, and some new bits and pieces added; other things discussed, explained and debated. By-property is confusing for multiple-property titles; by-title is unworkable because propsets on title chains change. What to do?

There was a bug in the spreadsheet from last week, and in the process of figuring it out I found some issues with institutions not tagged as such in the db, and incorporated some requested changes to parts of the spreadsheet. We also had a Skype on the AtoM issue.

Had some back and forth with HR who is building the AtoM box; provided some test data from UT which successfully imported (except for one error in the data), and he's now working on switching from nginx to Apache. Should be ready in a week.

Skype meeting with two folks from SFU for consultation on metadata and AtoM; they confirm we're on the right track with the RAD CSV approach, and will help us to finalize our fields since they're working on similar processes right now.

Ethnicity issues have been finally sorted out, and eight new constructed variables are needed for the SPSS csv output; I'm still talking with JS-R on exactly how they should work, and on changes to the way sixteen others are calculated.

All generation generating is completed; now we're working on Japanese Provisional names, and figuring out some new constructed variables for the spreadsheet for SPSS.

Successive back-and-forth with SF as she worked through each generation and I generated the next. By gen 7 there are no polluted chains, which seems odd and needs checking.

Had a couple of shots at generating these, after gen 1s turned out to include some that should be gen 2.

The per-property transaction tsv is now, I believe, complete, and we've also generated the candidate list for non-custodian transactions for SF to choose from.

We've decided on AtoM, and I've sent an email to KL, JSR and MA to get the process rolling.

Attended the Artefactual webinar introducing AtoM.

From SF: additional requirements for the table:

DONE: 1) Title 1 Seller Includes Institution Y/N
DONE: 2) Title 1 Owner Includes Institution Y/N
DONE: 3) Title 2  Seller Includes Institution Y/N
DONE: 4) Title 2 Owner Includes Institution Y/N
DONE: 5) Where Title 1 includes multiple properties Y/N
DONE: 6) Where Title 2 includes multiple properties Y/N (These are still acting on the “by property” foundation. If the property in question is linked to a title with other properties, this variable is active).
DONE: 5) Title 1 Notes
DONE: 6) Title 2 Notes
DONE: 7) Where Title 1 Contains Multiple Owners Y/N
DONE: 8) Where Title 1 Contains Multiple Sellers Y/N
DONE: 9)Where Title 2 Contains Multiple Owners Y/N
DONE: 10) Where Title 2 Contains Multiple Sellers Y/N
DONE: 11) Where Title 1 Seller is Custodian
DONE: 12) Where Title 1 Owner is Custodian
DONE: 13) Where Title 2 Seller is Custodian
DONE: 14) Where Title 2 Owner is Custodian
DONE: 15) Where Title 1 - where at least 1 Seller address includes Property Address Y/N
DONE: 16) Where Title 1 - where at least 1 Owner address includes Property Address Y/N
DONE: 17) Where Title 2  where at least 1 Seller address includes Property Address Y/N
DONE: 18) Where Title 2 - where at least 1 Owner address includes Property Address Y/N

The next ones are a bit convoluted

1) Title 1 Owner Occupation (if single occupation) - this will be the most common
2) Title 1 Seller Occupation - ditto
3) Title 1 Contains Multiple Occupations
4) Title 2 Owner Occupation  (If single occupation)
5) Title 2 Seller Occupation - ditto
6) Title 2 Contains Multiple Occupations

I believe the last set should be expanded thus:

DONE: 1) Title 1 Owner Occupation (if single occupation) - this will be the most common
DONE: 2) Title 1 Seller Occupation - ditto
DONE: 3) Title 1 Owner Contains Multiple Occupations
DONE: 4) Title 1 Seller Contains Multiple Occupations
DONE: 5) Title 2 Owner Occupation  (If single occupation)
DONE: 6) Title 2 Seller Occupation - ditto
DONE: 7) Title 2 Owner Contains Multiple Occupations
DONE: 8) Title 2 Seller Contains Multiple Occupations
