Schema Additions, XSLT Changes, and Documentation for Codebook / ODD

[ebeshero]

Rules to add:

Codebook + XSLT Transformation of Letters

• XSLT is having Serious Trouble with <opener> in general. <salute> is not being rendered, among other things. See for example http://digitalmitford.org/getLetterText.php?uri=1823-03-25_Haydon.xml
• How are we transforming handShift annotations by hands other than Mitford's? Note: Working on this, as of 2016-09-19, with Mitford letters assigned to Brooke Stewart and Melissa Klamer, each of which contains such a note. We *should be coding these thus:

<add><handShift resp="#whoEver"/><note resp="#whoEver">....</note></add>

Problem: see checklist item above: XSLT is badly handling such notes in the <opener>.

• Add @cert to <date> element in <titleStmt> to formalize when we are using conjectural dates, including dates written by other catalogers. In XSLT, turn any <date cert="X"> into square brackets.

Site index:

• add a rule to govern notes of type="brief" to distinguish these from exceedingly long biographical entries.

<note type="brief">

• Related: Work on a bios page to feature the important people in MRM's world, pulling from the SI
• Add to XSLT for letters and other transformations, to pull more formally encoded bio data into mouseover notes.
• Are we pulling birth and death dates?
• Role names?
• Occupations?

ODD Development

• work on formalizing Codebook element choices and Schematron rules into an ODD
