preferredForm translation and nameEntry attributes #5

Closed alexduryee closed 1 month ago

The transformation for preferredForm is a bit odd - looking at the Frankenstein file, the preferredForm string is being lost into a comment, but the nameEntry has "preferredForm=true".  The same goes for authorizedForm, although that may be less relevant since the authorized attribute just flags that an authorized form exists.

This is one area that will be detailed in the release notes, but for some of the background discussion on the mapping part, see https://github.com/SAA-SDT/eac-cpf-schema/issues/117#issuecomment-762153648 and below :)

@alexduryee To spare you reading through the rather lengthy decision process in #117 ;-) : the content of the elements <authorizedForm>, <alternativeForm>, and <preferredForm> is actually moved to a new <conventionDeclaration> element seeing that they are intended to capture the rule(s) according to which a name entry is an authorised, alternative, or preferred form. The <nameEntry> links to these via the @conventionDeclarationReference.

Hope that makes this part of the transformation clearer.

Closing this issue out, as discussed above.
