Project Update 3.25

[vidyasurti]

• Github Repo Organization:
  • Richa organized the Github Repo!
  • There are now organized subdirectories
• Schema:
  • Caroline created a schema with XSLT which was valid with the Medea TEI and all the other tragedy’s TEIs
  • Richa’s XML markup is validated against this schema, even with the direct attribute
  • The rest of us need to work on fixing the markup and validating it against the schema
• XML Markup
  • We went over our markup again, having to do with non-human inflictors
  • We decided that we would include another or group for these nonhuman inflictors, especially with the attribute value (this was especially relevant for Philoctetes and Women of Trachis)
  • We decided this would give nuance to our research question
• Site
  • We went over the Shakespearean insults site and decided we would take a lot of that structure for our own website We all decided to come back with our own mini-research questions based on our text to combine for the analysis/site of our project.

I think that your idea of "mini-research questions" is really interesting and a cool way to approach the analysis portion of your project! Do any of you have ideas already about what type of questions you want to look into yet? Are they different from the questions displayed at the top of your README.md?

Hey guys! It's great to see the progress you have made since your adversity experienced early on in the semester, honestly I think think this is a cooler project idea anyway! I am curious to hear about the flop from your original project idea to deciding on the current one. Keep of the good work guys.

Hi guys! It sounds like your group is extremely organized and is doing a very nice job of portioning out tasks for everyone! Can I ask if there is any specific way you decide who does what or is it just what everyone prefers doing? I like the idea of not being constrained by only one research question. I think that by having a few different questions you will have richer (and much more interesting!) data at at end! Our group discussed data today and when we will probably start working on our graphs, after the SVG unit. Do you guys have an idea of how you want to graph your data yet, being that you have a few research questions? I'm excited to see how it turns out!

It is really smart to borrow some of the structure from the Shakespeare website. Coming up with the layout for our website has been somewhat challenging, as we're were not quite sure what we are going to need. I'm curious to know why you picked the Shakespeare website design over others.
