4 years ago This is a really cool project. You are facing some of the exact same challenges as the Soviet Rock Songs group, especially deciding on tags and quickly consolidating a consistent way of expressing them.
The Soviet Rock Group (@mjyb16 @Jacksweeney1 @crissyshan ) is differentiating between markup for songs they will read closely and markup they will implement automatically using Regex (e.g. deciding that a particular word will always be tagged with some larger categorical element). It might be worth comparing notes as you work through these issues!
WRT how to mark multiple attributes at the same time, you might take a look at the lists datatype in RelaxNG (which we did not cover in class); and I suspect you could also think of ways to enforce multiple attribute values (or catch duplicates) using the tokenize() function in conjunction with Schematron.
This week we came together to go over our text mark-up and our schema. We found that we had a lot of inconsistencies with what we were tagging. We went through the mark-up together in order to clarify how we want to go about analyzing our documents. We wrote down all of the questions that we had about our schema and scheduled an extra meeting with Dr. Birnbaum to help us move forward with a more effective schema. Some of our questions include:
After we meet with Dr. Birnbaum, we will move forward with marking up our texts in a more unified manner. In the meantime, we will start to envision our website design and layout. We want to come up with an effective way to display our research that retains the interest of site visitors. We want the comparison between the German and American Western texts to be clear and engaging.
