Resaerch question: This is a repository to create an interactive comic of the 2003 cartoon network tv series Teen Titans with a comparison between the tv series and the comics that Teen Titans is based off.
XML: For our XML markup, we're doing transcripts of the episodes of Teen Titans, the 2003 tv show created by Cartoon Network. For this semester, we decided to stick with Season 1 that includes thirteen episodes in total. You'll find the XML documents in the XML file in the "season-1" folder.
We did metadata for the comics; we limited it to the issues that had anything to do with the television series instead of doing the entire volume. At the moment, only the issues that connected to episodes in season 1 are the ones on our website.
Episodes (https://transcripts.fandom.com/wiki/Teen_Titans)
Here's a website to read the comics: https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-New-Teen-Titans-1980.
Other:
SVG: Courtesy of Shannon, we created graphs to compare how many times each Teen Titan (Robin, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Beastboy) spoke in each episode.
Methodology: Suggested to us by our instructor, the methodology is a way to show how we created our website through each of the different steps along the way. It's in the work of process phase at the moment to accommodate for the fandom aspect of our project! Will constantly be udpating since we're doing another semester of work.

We're continuing this project for the next DH course! While it's still a repository to compare the television show and the comics, the focus will be different to fit the purpose of the spring course. We will be creating a map. Primarily, most of this semester is focused on the tv series, but we will add more analysis on the comics.
Research question: This is a repository to create a map of Jump City, the location of the television series Teen Titans. Alongside the map, we want to track the routes of the five lead characters of the tv series: Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy. Similar to the first semester of this project, we will work with the comics that the series is based off. For season two, the comic it's based off is The Judas Contract primarily focused on the honorary titan Terra.
XML: Similar to the fall semester, we're working on the transcripts of the episodes of Teen Titans. For this semester, we will be doing season 2 of the series. For the comics, we're working with The Judas Contract.
Map: To create our map, we'll be using QGIS. While the show's geographic is similar to San Francisco, we will be making a fictional map using an arbitrary base map instead. This is mostly to deal with the amount of time that we have and make it easier to create said map. We're using QGIS to add layers to our map; for instance, links to the parts of the script the location appears in, the routes for the leads, etc.
**WILL ADD MORE AS THE SEMESTER CONTINUES**
