Milestone 3 Task List

[ebeshero]

• [x] Make a first-pass transcript of May 24 1823 to the next seven entries @SavannahRicks

• [x] Second pass clean-up pass Clean up mistakes: concentrating on the typescript only. Attempt adding

  • <persName>
  • <placeName>
  • <orgName>
  • <bibl> or <title> (these are used for referenced to published or written literary works)
  • All of these take @ref attributes that point into the site index (SI file) @tec5271

• [x] Review the original handwritten MS photo-facsimile, and add XML comments if you notice anything missing. Use initials and the ISO date in your comments like this:

  • ALWAYS NOTE what page the entry is on in the handwriting PDF
  • IF the typist marked something unclear, make a guess? (at least alert @ebeshero )
  • Look at the whole page and surroundings and notice if there's a big block of something that isn't represented in the typescript.
  • Add corrections as you can. Otherwise you'll do your work in XML comments. @tylerakam

• [x] @jdh6067 Start attempting to add @ref or @corresp attributes with values pointing to the Digital Mitford Site Index (SI) file. OR noting if a name may not be mentioned there. Work with the current SI file at https://digitalmitford.org/si.xml

• [x] @jdh6067 with help from team: Raise questions on this Issue about any mystery names.

• Do not point @ref attributes if you're not sure of an identification, but do record whatever you can find out.

• If you can reasonably figure out a name (based on searching teh document or the Mitford Site Index, then use @ref attributes. All named entities take refs, except books: Mentions of a book get marked as <bibl>, and <bibl> takes a @corresp with same idea.

• ANY xml:ids that you point to have to be preceded by a #. If Savannah is @xml:id="srr", we point to her as <persName ref="#srr>Savannah</persName>.

In the last Milestone, I added some new <@ref> attrebutes to the Historical People Index: the Voules, Gayward, and the Holtons (all at the top of the list). Should I leave them in partially finished, or take them out since I didn't know I shouldn't add them in yet XD ? @ebeshero

[ebeshero]

@SavannahRicks I think I edited these when you added new SI entries: I think I modified them. Let's double-check what I did...

[ebeshero]

@SavannahRicks The Gaywards turned out to be Haywards who are brew pub / innkeepers and....how about we follow them through the journal? And see if we can find images of the inn(s) they're associated with?
