@FionaLiu1998, here are some thoughts I have about cross-referencing characters, but you're welcome to go with whatever seems intuitive to you.
<person>
tag, which I think would be useful. <persName xml:id="">
with an ID. Then, in the header somewhere, that can look like: <person
role="assistant secretary of the Eire Abu society"
sex="M"
age="adult"
xml:id="hh">
<persName>Hoppy Holohan</persName>
<link xml:id="holohan" target="#ulysses#lb070642"/>
<note target="holohan">Holohan is mentioned in the "Aeolus" episode of Ulysses</note>
</person>
(Holohan is mentioned in line 642 of Aeolus, among other places.)
But I'm also seeing that there are quite a number of other tags that are allowed inside <person>
, like:
affiliation age birth death education event faith floruit langKnowledge listEvent nationality occupation persName persona residence sex socecStatus state trait
So there's room for even more description. Fargnoli might be a good reference for this.
Anyway no need to do everything. Even just a simple link between a few places would be good.
For example, Gifford ("Joyce Annotated") gives for "Holohan" (p.96, "A Mother"), "appears as an offstage character in "Two Gallants" and in Ulysses; see Dub C58:27n. It would be nice to have links to these characters' appearances in these texts.
