Difference between revisions of "Mondrian: Decisions during eDITem project"

Revision as of 10:42, 8 February 2023

These are decisions taken during the eDITem project that have to be worked into the rest of the documentation. For the moment, we document them here.

Unusual abbreviations: to be coded as <choice><expan>. The usual abbreviations will be described in a list.

We will not be using sic and corr, but orig and reg. We only keep the changed (added, deleted) string within the element and keep the unchanged part out of these elements. We maintain the @type for the orig.

Organizations:

We create a separated .xml file for organizations. In the text we use the following encoding: <rs type="org" ref="org.xml#xxx">

Sample of the Organizations file:

  -listOrg
       org
         @ana (value: museum, gallery, artistassoc, firm, org) and @xml:id 
        orgName
        place
        country 
        settlement
        desc

Layout:

For now we regularise layout of postcards the way we do letters.

Superscript: to be silently removed and usually replaced by '.': e.g. Mr., No.

We display date/place always full left, on a single line, followed by one white line. We change the current encoding for address and date in dateline: <opener>

  <dateline> … </dateline>
  <salute> … </salute>

</opener>

We display salutation always full left, beneath the date/place after a white line and the first line of the letter immediately below the salutation, set full left.

Paragraphs are indented except for the first line of the letter text and after a white line.

Postscripts are shown after the signature and after one white line.
