- Title: Greek and Roman Studies Images Staticization Project
- Acronym: GRSI (“Greasy”)
- hcmcJournal: https://hcmc.uvic.ca/journal/public/projectsGRSI.html
- PI: Was Laurel Bowman in the 2010s. Now?
This legacy project consists of 10,000 images collected by the Greek and Roman Studies faculty for research and teaching purposes. The metadata is currently in MySQL. There was a PHP site that is no longer accessible (https://web.archive.org/web/20240906113215/https://hcmc.uvic.ca/grs/mdb/index.php). The objective is to convert the metadata to TEI, put it in a Subversion repository, and create an Endings-compliant HTML website for GRS to use. (Summary written by Janelle. Martin will have far superior knowledge of the history of the project and of what needs to be done.)
Rebuilding this project will give Illya the opportunity to:
- become very comfortable working in SVN
- develop, test, and document a TEI schema in ODD
- write XSLT to convert non-XML to TEI
- write XSLT to convert TEI to HTML
- create a build process on Jenkins
- write Diagnostics
- use Ant to run all of these processes
- work with Pat on the DOM
- take a project through the pre-freeze and freeze stages prior to release
