TEI model of interest: Epidoc

[ebeshero]

@jonhoranic @JaredKramer40 @laurenmcguigan I told my friend @emylonas here on the TEI Technical Council about your project and she said you should take a look at their Epidoc project coding guidelines, because they are coding monuments and placing them in geographic space with map coordinates as well as transcribing inscriptions on stone is part of the project. You may want to be adding more/different metadata up in your headers, but this gives a nice model of a file that represents a monument.

Note: one interesting factor is that their monuments have often moved off their original location to a museum for example...Not sure if that will be a factor here unless you will be looking at stones of people who were reburied in a different spot!

@ebeshero I gave this a quick overview whilst attempting to clean my desk up (to little success I might add, but at least my keyboard is cleaned), and I think this will really help the project get a good TEI based foundation. I will delve deeper into it and see if I can look up and define all the element and attribute classes so I can get a better understanding of how it all corresponds. The way I think about it, it is more or less taking someone's finished puzzle apart just to stare at the pieces in order to get the idea of how they fit together, that way you can put it back together yourself.

Much thanks to your friend @emylonas, please let her know we are glad for the information!

You should be able to get all the details, rng file, ODD etc. on the Sourceforge site http://epidoc.sourceforge.net

for ex: https://sourceforge.net/p/epidoc/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/schema/tei-epidoc.xml

@emylonas Wow. Our little three person team sincerely thanks you for your interest and contributions to our project. As the standing project lead I am deeply grateful for this information you have given us! I am very glad to have your assistance and I am rather amazed at how well integrated the coding community is via GitHub. I am sure that as our project grows we will be able to see even more interactions and support.

Again, all three of us on the Graveyard Project: @laurenmcguigan @JaredKramer40 @jonhoranic Send out our thanks!
