1 year ago Thanks for the update, Allison! This all sounds great. It's very normal to switch from TEI to something flexible and TEI-adjacent, as you describe. It looks like your team has a very clear direction moving forward!
Project Meeting Notes:
We talked about the issues with our TEI plans. Multiple ways to implement TEI in Oxygen: TEI all and comes default - it includes mandatory elements, and flags new stuff. For more flexibility, TEI ODD - but it's pretty labor intensive. So the compromise is to change to a new root, and relabeling TEI and TEIheader to something non-TEI specific. Not a whole lot of options here.
Refining the schema. How are we going to organize factors that are inside of emotes? They're optional. The definition for emote was rewritten in the schema and that update pushed to the repo. Do we want a "finished" folder in github? No - it's too hard to keep organized because it's a separate file version.
General discussion: What is the relationship between emote and factor? Emotion: Explicit statements about how the writer is feeling. Emotive statements can be full or partial sentences with factors tagged inside if need be. Not judgements about outside stuff happening - these are just factors. People talking about where they are and observing good or bad things is an observation of factors. Factors are probably 1-2 words but could be more. Ask yourself about relevance to the research goal. We'll discuss judgement calls about relevance at a later date, let's just get the tagging done.
Are we making good progress toward the midterm? We are all a little behind, but this weekend we can get a lot done. Jake suggested setting this Saturday (10/22) midnight as the deadline for having tagging done. Sunday we will discuss any issues that we have. Everyone should try associating the schema SOON with at least one letter.
Learning new skills for project management:
Ben discussed project and batch validation. In Oxygen>New Project>Default Project> Assign a file name>Create. It will open in another window. It's an .xpr file extension. It shows the file hierarchy, and you can right click on the file folder, Validate>Validate.
Once you associate your schema it will show you any errors in this view, so that you know what you need to fix. We can open the Project file from the main repo - it is a static tool, and doesn't require anybody to make changes or updates to it.
In WinSCP we now have access to our project site! Login to Obdurodon as usual, and it should be under /var/>ww>html>letters. File called index.html is the first thing that's loaded. It has to be called this. In the future we can open this to make changes.
