Phase 1
- TEI-MS DTD: Review & test current version of
new DTD for manuscript description (tei-ms.dtd)
- HEH Catalog: Review and edit XML version of HEH two-volume
set as needed to conform to TEI-MS DTD
- HTML Presentation #1: Write XSLT scripts to create basic
HTML version of text that incorporates image links for HEH digital
images; start with existing printed texts as display spec.
- HTML Presentation #2: Work with DS curators to develop
enhanced display spec; with features such as:
- flexible navgation
- internal URL links for references
- separate browsable indexes / concordances, e.g., by shelfmark,
script, title, place of origin
Write additional XSLT scripts to create enhanced HTML version
of text.
Phase 2
- Analysis & Crosswalks: Create detailed crosswalk
/ data element map between the DS/MSAccess structure, the TEI-MS
format, and USMARC.
- Merge DS/MSAccess data to TEI-MS: Write scripts / programs
to convert and merge data from DS/MSAccess & HEH into TEI-MS
format
- HTML Presentation #3: Regenerate HTML presentation (created
in 1.d above) using merged DS/MSAccess & TEI-MS files.
- Extend Current DS/MSAccess Schema. Extend current
DS/MSAccess data structure to accommodate as many of the current
TEI-MS data elements as feasible; convert HEH data into prototype
MSAccess/SQL structure & merge with existing DS/MSAccess records.
[NB: deliverables here are: i) merged MSAccess (or other SQL)
database, and ii) documentation for new database schema; it does
not include web presentation of merged files.]
- Assessment: Prepare written assessment of the pros and
cons of creating, merging, indexing & managing Digital Scriptorium
metadata in the tested formats.
