Minutes
Each team member supplies a brief update on progress made since last week. Then, the bulk of the meeting is devoted to discussion of standardizing markup across the three texts.
Questions addressed:
Re: Tagging the ninety-nine names of God.
Throughout the text, God is referred to by many names (ex. ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim, al-Malik). These names have hitherto been marked as element <praise> taking attribute @amplification. Members discuss and conclude that these names should be tagged simply as <amplification>.
The names of God often occur together, thus leading to the question of whether these names should be tagged together as a single element, ex. <amplification>الرحمن الرحيم</amplification> بسم الله (MK's preferred approach approach) or as separate elements, ex. In the name of God <amplification>the Most Gracious</amplification> <amplification>the Most Merciful</amplification> (Aisha's preferred approach). Members discuss and decide to take Aisha's proposal.
Tasks for Next Meeting (3/19):
[ ] Complete When2Meet provided by Renee and to meet virtually to conduct a direct comparison of the three iterations of each surah for final edits, after which markup will be frozen (ALL).
[ ] Begin drafting wireframe for project site (ALL).
[ ] Research multi-lingual topic modeling with MALLET and report back on feasibility of incorporating this tool into our analysis (MK).
