References to ancient sources #22

Closed sjhuskey closed 6 years ago

Mastronarde and Tarrant write:

It would be helpful to be explicit about how references to other ancient texts (quoted in the edited text, or cited in the apparatus or elsewhere for whatever reason) are to be treated. Are they simply treated as books, since the category of editions appears to apply only to previous editions of the text being edited?

I've added a section called "Linking" that points to information about linking presented elsewhere in the guidelines. It also has a subsection on linking to primary sources (not just ancient ones).

I've added another section with a method for linking citations of ancient texts to author or work pages in the Digital Latin Library's catalog. Linking in this way won't send the user directly to a text, but it also won't send the user to a dead link for a text. Instead, it will send the user to an authority page or a work file that will provide identifying information for the author or work (CTS URN (if one exists), VIAF ID, etc.) and links to editions and versions of the text cataloged in the DLL.
