Update 3/4 #3

At this week's meeting, we mainly decided that we were going to just continue with marking up out txt-files of Natalia Lafourcade's songs into XML documents. We are planning to finish all of our XML markup by Monday, 3/15. This includes separating each song into the verses, chorus, intros/outros, etc, along with adding a section of markup focusing on the metadata of the songs. Concerning the content of the songs themselves, we are marking up examples of natural imagery we find, by giving them a "type" attribute, specifying what general concept the imagery surrounds, and "image" attribute, specifying the specific image we are marking up. We are also making changes to our schema as we work and find different examples of imagery. For instance, instead of grouping a reference to wind into type = "space," we created the type = "air" to help us more later on. By next Monday's meeting, we hope to no longer run into any issues with Git and have approximately half of our XML markups completed.

Similar to your group, we are also planning to finish our markup by 3/15. As my group has worked through our documents, we have also found that the schema evolves over time. I am curious as to what information you are including in your metadata? Will you use the TEI guidelines?

I think its excellent that your group is starting to add attributes to be more specific with your document. My group has also been working on this, adding id and year attributes that should help us expand on what we are looking for and how we will incorporate them when we begin working on our website. Has your group started to give any thought on how plan to use these ideas with html?

I think a lot of us are trying to have our markup finished by the 15th - seems like so much to do, but it's nice to have a deadline in sight to work toward. My team and I just had a decently long meeting today about how exactly we wanted to markup our documents (poems) and what our schema would look like. It took a lot of work because as we are noticing things while reading more and more of our chosen poems, we want to keep adding attributes and making things more specific, yet in doing so, we get farther away from our main research question. We finally had to take a step back tonight and consider what we want for our results and then what information is worth it to markup for our purposes. Definitely a little stressful, but definitely worth talking through - and now we feel confident and much better equipped to carry out markup. I guess what I'm trying to say is that schema changes seem like a lot, but combing through the schema and talking about it actually can help solidify markup goals and research questions.

I think it's great that your looking to finish your markup by the 15th - my group is a little behind in this, but the fact that you're on track is great. Right now my partner and I are also working on structural markup in our songs before we get more detailed.
