Most
MoEML documents, or significant fragments with xml:id attributes, can
be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application
with their id + .xml.
The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on
MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based
rendering of the Agas Map.

The mdt (
MoEML Document Type) prefix used on catRef/target points
to a central taxonomy in the includes file.
The mdtlist (
MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.
The molgls (
MoEML gloss) prefix used on term/corresp points
to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.
This molvariant prefix is used on ref/target attributes during automated
generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings
listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a
location.
This molajax prefix is used on ref/target attributes during the static build
process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source
page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source
documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle
the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing
virtually the whole site inside itself.
The molstow prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles.
Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).
Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Thanks, Farewells, and Welcomes
It’s always a bittersweet day when team members move on. On the one hand,
MoEML’s training mandate is designed to give students and
research affiliates skills they can take to new projects and new challenges in
and beyond academia. On the other hand, we miss their friendship and their
unique contributions to the MoEML team.
This past summer, we congratulated Kim
McLean-Fiander, who has taken up a post in the Department of English
at UVic as an Assistant Teaching Professor. Kim joined us in February 2013 as an
Early Career Researcher and quickly became Assistant Project Director and then,
in January 2015, Associate Project Director. Kim led the charge on our site redesign in 2013, researched and oversaw the
editorial emendations to the Agas Map in 2014, and
played a key role in our Pedagogical
Partnership Project. She’s also been the principal voice you’ve been
hearing in our social media posts. She’s made
MoEML
better in countless ways. In this case, the sadness of saying good-bye is
entirely mitigated by the fact that her new office is just down the hall from
the MoEML office. Kim has generously agreed to remain
on the team as our Director of Pedagogy and Outreach; in this new role, she’ll
continue to oversee the Pedagogical
Partnership Project and contribute to our social media presence.
Katie Tanigawa has stepped into the breach and taken
up the role of Project Manager and Managing Editor. Katie is a fourth-year PhD
candidate in the Department of English at UVic. Her research interests include
modernism and mapping. She and Alex Christie developed the Z-Axis Project, a very
cool tool for warping maps to show the density of literary references. She’s
also an experienced encoder who knows her way around the TEI Guidelines.
Welcome, Katie T.!
After completing her BA in April, Catriona Duncan
took a well earned trip to Europe. She returned to UVic this month as an MA
student. We’re glad to have her back for the final stages of encoding the 1598 edition of Stow’s Survey of
London and the first stages of encoding the 1633 edition in
preparation for versioning the four editions (1598, 1603, 1618, and 1633).
DH student Katie McKenna also returns to help us
with the ongoing work of capturing geospatial coordinates for our Placeography
entries. In addition, we’ll keep her busy with the next mayoral pageant books
in the transcription queue.
Joey Takeda, now entering the final year of his
Honours degree, and recent graduate Tye Landels
continue to rebuild, rethink, and improve every corner of the site. Tye has
recently rewritten the handling for our Personography entries and created a very useful index to our Praxis documentation. In his
new role as Junior Programmer, Joey has developed new ways of linking related
documents and fixed legacy code throughout the site. Joey and Tye are now
working together to implement three new calendars to accommodate the many ways
that early modern writers indicated the date in their texts.
