Notes on 6/23/2005 Michigan APIS Feed

  1. michigan.apis.4967: lacks title/type (dd245_a), which is required for loading

    dd546 | 1 | Greek
    dd001 | 1 | michigan.apis.4967
    dd035 | 1 | (MiU)4967
    dd041 | 1 | grc
    dd856_m | 1 | http://images.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?
    view=entry&subview=detail&cc=apis&entryid=X-4967&viewid=1
  2. michigan.apis.3050: bad dates (one with just hyphen, one with erroneous space after "-")

    e.g.

    dd046 | 1 | - 217
    dd046 | 2 | -

  3. Minor Inventory Number errors:
    1. michigan.apis.2880 --> "dd090 | 1 | 6578 [sic]" : missing "P.Mich.Inv." ?
    2. michigan.apis.1287 --> "dd090 | 1 | P.Corn. [sic] II 9": publication number used as inventory number?
    3. michigan.apis.3961 --> "dd090 | 1 | P.Mich. [sic] 5457": missing Inv number?

  4. Defective Inventory numbers (most need "P.Mich. inv." inserted?)

    dd090 | 1 | "A Wizard's Hoard"
    dd090 | 1 | 1524
    dd090 | 1 | 1884
    dd090 | 1 | 2895; The correct inv. no. of the text published by Youtie in ZPE 15 (1974), 11-16 as inv. 2895 is in fact P. Mich. inv. 2985; see corresponding card.
    dd090 | 1 | 3402
    dd090 | 1 | 3586
    dd090 | 1 | 4244
    dd090 | 1 | 4535,1
    dd090 | 1 | 4615
    dd090 | 1 | 4925
    dd090 | 1 | 4936
    dd090 | 1 | 591
    dd090 | 1 | 6391
    dd090 | 1 | 6394
    dd090 | 1 | 6396
    dd090 | 1 | 6397
    dd090 | 1 | 6398
    dd090 | 1 | 6398
    dd090 | 1 | 6398
    dd090 | 1 | 6415
    dd090 | 1 | 6415
    dd090 | 1 | 6415
    dd090 | 1 | 6415
    dd090 | 1 | 6415
    dd090 | 1 | 6415
    dd090 | 1 | 6578
    dd090 | 1 | 6980
    dd090 | 1 | 6981

  5. Non-standard character codes: michigan.apis.1999, michigan.apis.2000 have unexpected character combinations (some kind of Demotic transcription?)

    e.g., Regnal year 20, Epiphi, of Pharaoh, 1.p.h., Dar[iu]s, [1.p.h. Said the … Irt.w]-r-r.w, son of P3-whr, son of P3-ti-@r, whose mother is Ns-nx�-@r,;2) to the Cultivator of Horus of Edfu, P3-ti-Itm, son of Wsir-[...],


  6. Non-Michigan repositories in Mich. feed

    Non-Michigan APIS records hosted by Michigan -- currently those from Wisconsin, Cornell and Perkins -- need to be:
    1. removed from the Michigan APIS feed and sent as separate feeds, with filenames that identify them appropriately, e.g.,

         wisconsin.apis.2005-06-23
         cornell.apis.2005-06-23
         perkins.apis.2005-06-23

    2. assigned DDBDP numbers in contributed records where available, e.g.,

      P.Oxy. X 1263 (michigan.apis.3989) needs to have: dd510_dd | 1 | P.Oxy.:10:1263

    3. assigned new APIS ID numbers reflecting repository-based numbering rather than host-based numbering. See Specifications below.

    4. provided with dd852 fields that show the repository code for the institution where the materials reside. (See data element format in APIS documentation.)


      Format for Michigan-hosted APIS partners' records:

      Wisconsin (102 records: ID list);

      dd001 | 1 | wisconsin.apis.1
      dd_510_dd | 1 | P.Wisc.:2:77
      dd852 | 1 | WU

      Cornell (120 records: ID list)

      dd001 | 1 | cornell.apis.1
      dd510_dd | 1 | P.Corn.:10
      dd852 | 1 | NIC


      Perkins: P. Oxy.  (11 records: ID list )

      dd001 | 1 | perkins.apis.1
      dd510_dd | 1 | P.Oxy.:10:1263
      dd852 | 1 | TxDaM-P

  7. Pipes must be removed from tag data, it conflicts with use of pipes to delineate the parts of the tag. For example, michigan.apis.1319:

    cu524 | 1 | Boak AER, PMich III, 195, 1936, Pl VI -- BL VI, 81 (bibliography). - L.3-4: read Bakchiadi tes Herak(leidou) | meridos, instead of Bakchiadi Herakleidou | meridos. Verso was unpublished. (PH)
