xml:ids for Companies to correlate Companies and Addresses

[RJP43]

Here are a few example of how your <orgName> and <placeName type="address"> should be coded using the @ref attribute. The @ref attribute that will correspond to an xml:id in our Site Index. In this issue please list any companies that you identify in your articles with the corresponding xml:id you chose for the company and refer to this issue before assigning new xml:ids to be sure no one else has already come across the company and given it an xml:id. Thanks everyone @KariWomack @CodyKarch @spadafour !!

This is how the code looks with text sitting around the coded information ... this is an example of how we code company names as well as the corresponding addresses: The fifth place on my list was the "<orgName ref="#WLMC" type="exposedCompany">Western Lace Manufacturing Co.</orgName>" <placeName ref="#WLMC" type="address">218 State street</placeName>

The following do not have the surrounding text so as to simplify the examples:

This is an example of how you put a ref id on an orgName that isn't specified as a company: <orgName ref="#WPA">Woman's Protective agency</orgName>

This is an example of how you put a ref id on an orgName that is specified as a company but sits separately from the given address: <orgName ref="#RCRB" type="exposedCompany">Rosenthal &amp; Co.'s and Rosenberg Bros</orgName>

This is an example of how you put a ref id on an orgName that is specified as a company and sits with a partial address: <orgName ref="#Stein" type="exposedCompany">Stein's</orgName>, on <placeName ref="#Stein" type="location">Market street</placeName>

Forgot to add mine, I only had one: #EUC - Excelsior Underwear Company

[CodyKarch]

Question: what if we aren't sure whether the name of the business is "Boston store" or if that is the place described? For <rs type="workDesc|workEnvir" subtype="negative" resp="CAK">dismal surroundings, economy of comforts, and heartless treatment</rs>, to the Boston store belongs the palm.

[RJP43]

hmm... @CodyKarch I can't really tell by this context so just comment tag it and we can tackle it as a group tomorrow

[RJP43]

@CodyKarch also i would only give that a rs type of workEnvir because workDesc should be reserved for actual description of work being done and this sounds like only a description of environment ... see issue #17 for detail description of each value

[CodyKarch]

Yeah, I caught that on my own too, good job noticing my error!

The companies identified in Article 1888-08-19-CHTimes:

EXPOSED COMPANIES: #HSC - H. Schultz & Co.'s paper-box manufactory #KBO - trousers manufactory of K. B. Oleson #Doremus - Doremus laundry #Loomis - Loomis laundry #Munger - Munger laundry #OrienLaun - Oriental laundry owned by E. Jennings #SN - S. Nelson's custom shop

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS: not sure if going to mark this or give it ID? - custom shop on the fourth floor of S. Nelson's building #BOT give it ID? - the board of trade #CEB give it ID? - the Corn Exchange bank #PPcar - Pullman Palace Car company #KnightsOL - Knights of Labor

adding archetypes: #promMen - prominent men (a lot of the commentary articles have feedback from prominent Chicago business men) #reporter - seems like later articles bring in other reporters from the Times and we need to grab these as individuals

I am flirting with #childLaborer but this would cause us to go back and edit a lot ... ugh @spadafour
