This is the Scrolling through scrolls project for the DIGIT400 class. This project deals with the analysis of the book items through three elder scrolls games (Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim). The goal of this project is to analyze the changes throughout the 3 games to the repeating books series such as (A Dance in Fire Chapters 1-7), where they are located, and if they give anything useful to the player. Another useful feature that this project would cover is a simplified lore/explanation of each book incase people do not understand the meaning or complicated words behind the writing.
In Friday's meeting, as we were working on the Relax NG Schema, it became clear that you'd want a way to code authors and correlate them to a standard list of identifiers. Also that there are other kinds of references to ("named entities") you will be keeping track of in the markup of the scrolls. We got started on that right away on Friday:
@Tricky-Keys located a Wiki list of book authors, and over the weekend I pulled the author data out of that Wiki with some fancy XSLT so you could have one of these files handy to get you started. It's here:
https://github.com/JeremyF5737/Elder_Scrolls/blob/master/authors.xml
(The fancy XSLT I wrote is actually pretty short. Keep it around b/c we can adapt it maybe for other sources or the same file if you want to grab more data from it. It's here: https://github.com/JeremyF5737/Elder_Scrolls/blob/master/authorScraper.xsl
And you will be able to write XSLT like this in a few weeks...we might use this one again in a class demo! :-)) This was much easier to write when I realized the code we were squinting at on Friday wasn't actually the source code--the wiki page HTML was structured a lot more simply than we thought.
What's next? Think about creating these files to help with the search features on your project and also enhance the schema checking (to make sure when you are pointing to an author that you're only working with an author's id, and not a place id or an object id.)
SO: What other kinds of named entities (people, places, objects?) would you want to be marking and storing standard identifiers for in the project? If you can't easily find lists of these, don't worry about it because we can collect it with XML markup of the books.
