(phi0448)_all files #444

Closed AlisonBabeu closed 2 years ago

AlisonBabeu commented 2 years ago

In updating the headers for the Caesar editions showing up in Scaife I have come across several issues for which I have questions.

1) The cts_.xml text group lists the author name as Caesar, Julius but all of the TEI-XML files have C. Julius Caesar, and I have left this for the moment.

2) The cts.xml file for phi0448.phi002 is incorrect. It lists phi0448.phi001.perseus-eng2 as the Commentaries of Caesar by William Duncan, but this edition is still phi0448.phi001.perseus-eng1 in this XML directory. There is a phi0448.phi001.perseus-eng2 TEI-XML file but it is a translation of the Civil Wars by Arthur George Peskett that currently does not validate. Should I leave this for the moment or renumber the TEI files peseus-eng2 and perseus-eng3 so the CTS file is correct?

3) The biblStruct section for phi0448.phi002.perseus-lat2 has <idno type="ISBN">0198146035</idno> within it. Should I remove this? Leave it?

Please advice @lcerrato .

  1. interestingly, LCL uses "Caesar" — not helpful. "C. Julius Caesar" is probably the most standard representation. "Julius Caesar" would also be fine.
  2. When you get into these Latin texts, many were converted but not bumped, and the cts files can be wrong because of that. So we need to take a closer look and see if the converted (or partially converted) file was indeed bumped and go from there.
  3. The ISBN was used to link to Amazon, I believe, but this was done via the classics.xml file rather than the data within the files. I'm not sure if I kept it on files I converted (I don't see it elsewhere) so we can probably get rid of it. I have a spreadsheet with some of the early info and we'd maybe want a standoff list to manage this if we're able to restore it. (It might be easier to manage a cross referenced list rather than editing within the files themselves).

The two Peskett files were part of a batch I found in other folders when checking our collections for completeness (don't think I ever finished that). So these files were never in Perseus and will not have catalog records. https://github.com/PerseusDL/canonical-latinLit/pull/382

AlisonBabeu commented 2 years ago

So of course without catalog records you would have no way of knowing about the URNs, makes sense. So does that mean I can just renumber Paskett as phi0448.phi002.opp-lat3?

lcerrato commented 2 years ago

No, I would not use opp-lat here.

The cite collections would be the information I would have used to pick a URN, with the idea that the files may or may not ever be used.

Usually the bumping is going to be 1 -> 3, 2 -> 4, but we can't do that here with the file already being served on the SV. So it will have to stand as 1 -> 2 and 3 -> 4 (if this file is maintained).

Unfortunately, there is a lot of confusion with Latin URNs because they were never bumped completely.

AlisonBabeu commented 2 years ago

Whoops, forgot to change name to Juilus Caesar. I will go do that.

This work was merged so I"m closing this issue.
