indicating interviewers and interviewees #10

Closed kshawkin closed 7 years ago

kshawkin commented 9 years ago

Consider this suggestion from Syd Bauman ...

Section “Level 4 Oral History” currently recommends that the speaking participants in the interview be identified as authors of the document, or in profileDesc/particDesc/list/item/name. In the example encoding of this interviewees and interviewers are differentiated as text inside the given <item>. This strikes me as sloppy. It may well be appropriate to permit this encoding, in case someone is digitizing hundreds of interviews and has OCRed metadata that lists the participants this way. But certainly a best practice would make use of <listPerson>, and explicitly indicate "interviewer", "interviewee", "thirdParty" (or whatever) on the role= of <person>, no?

kshawkin commented 8 years ago

During BPTL workgroup call today, we agreed to implement according to Syd's recommendation. No volunteer to implement yet.

Add <listPerson> and <person> (with @role) to level 4, including in table of elements. Also include <birth>; maybe <langKnown>? @arouner to work on prose (either by posting here or in prose of level4.odd); @sydb will work on schema.

Level 4 schema is fixed (at 828328c8b0ac229de7bf21a11fe61df63aae09d7) to have <listPerson>, <person> (with @role), and <birth>. I did not add <langKnown>. The table in level 4.2.5.5. Element Recommendations for Level 4 includes all of these elements plus the wrapper <langKnowledge>, so we have a bit of a discrepancy that needs to be fixed.

The prose and example in 4.2.5.6.5. Level 4 Oral History is, well, screwy. Looks like it may have been partially fixed, and then forgotten. (For sure, I’m not blaming anyone, it well may have been me.)

kshawkin commented 7 years ago

During BPTL call today, agreed to remove <langKnown> and <langKnowledge> from Level 4 table and schema because they're too specialized for Level 4.

sydb commented 7 years ago

Removed <langKnowledge> and <langKnown> form schema & table at 688e9e4.

Has the prose in http://paramedic.wwp.northeastern.edu/~syd/temp/BPTL/main-driver.html#index.xml-body.1_div.4_div.2_div.5_div.6_div.5 been checked? It's not as clear as it might be.

kshawkin commented 7 years ago

Checked with respect to the schema changes, or just edited for general clarity? If the latter, we could let it get covered by #44 , but if you have specific suggestions for clarification, feel free to commit changes or do a pull request!

emylonas commented 7 years ago

It can wait until #44. I think the bullet format for the list of options was a little confusing to me. It's more overall proofreading than problems reflecting the schema change. also typo "poiints"

kshawkin commented 7 years ago

Got it. Typo now fixed: https://github.com/kshawkin/Best-Practices-for-TEI-in-Libraries/commit/82b7103ee38158bda7a3e0437223a07e16539cf7 . Will close this issue.
