On Tuesday, met with ML to discuss the conversion of the traditional narratives dataset from
CK. The plan is to create a <teiCorpus> containing the metadata for the collection
with child <TEI> elements for individual story metadata, then generate files
in wdt XML for each story. Wrote the basic conversion for metadata into TEI, which is now valid,
and I believe it is complete. Also regenerated all the MSS stats, and rebuilt the schema following
ML’s updates.
On Wednesday, noticing that the build was broken, I investigated and discovered that the generated
RNG from the updated ODD file was causing a duplicate attribute definition for @date.
I couldn’t immediately see why, so I commented out the class membership for att.lastModified
to work around the problem. Eventually figured out that the element was a member of two classes, one of
which was a member of the other, so it only needed membership of the superclass.
On Friday, we were due to do a release early, but I found a bunch of broken links in the reconstruction items that were not correctly pointing to the sources, so I initially tried to work around them in the XSLT, but eventually concluded I needed to fix as many of the oddities as possible in the source. Then I published a new version last thing in the afternoon.
