eltec-fra's Issues

FRA05702: Fix basic errors

Missing chapter divs.
Check split paragraphs.
Fix spelling / OCR errors generally.

links to print sources

This is definitely a long term request, but I just noticed that only 8 of files contain links to their print source page images in Gallica. I am sure others are available, and it would be nice to see their arks too, one day...

Replace novels to increase variety

A number of novels should be replaced with others. The number of authors represented with 3 novels should only be 10 authors (30 novels). The remaining 70 novels should, as far as possible, be written by a different author each.

author@ref syntax

Where you want to supply codes for an author in two different authority files, pointers should be separated by white space, not semicolons. For exanple, in FRA06501_Gyp.xml:

<author ref="viaf:96218572;wikidata:Q199228">Gyp ... </author>

should be

<author ref="viaf:96218572 wikidata:Q199228">Gyp ... </author>

See definition for this element in the schema.

All files: retrieve and add/check reprintCount category

• Run (possibly improve) worldcat script
• check, revise, add reprintCount category label
• Upload all reprintCount data to repo as well

All files: one round of pretty-printing

All files with the same pretty-printing.

FRA01702: remove linebreaks inside p

FRA01601: Encode notes using "ref"

FRA01701: remove linebreaks inside p

FRA00401: issue with footnotes (LB)

In text FRA00401 the footnotes
a) are all in a div type=liminal instead of a div type=notes
b) are not tagged as elements
c) do not appear to be linked from the text (i.e. I can't find any elements pointing at them)
I don't know how pervasive this problem is.

Several files are invalid : please fix

Mostly caused by <milestone/> without a @Unit

Generally: turn "hi" into semantic encoding where possible

Add more novels to reach 100.

FRA03201_Blandy: check <pb /> for words and figures

Add wikidata + VIAF identifiers (for authors, novels) as well

Just an idea: add wikidata and VIAF identifiers for all novels and authors. Might make integration of our (meta)data with wikidata easier. DraCor relies heavily on wikidata, a later integration into a next-level DraCor will then be easier. Not urgent at this time.

All files: create TXM binary corpus from complete set

Check integrity of Ponson_Baronne

All files: improve sourceDesc

• firstEdition with year
• digitalSource with a URL

Better and more homogeneous metadata (e.g. for use in HTML display)

Encoded by; words; pages (in "digital source" or "first edition"); available on Zenodo, community, DOI; narrative perspective; genre;

Add narrative-perspective to "profileDesc/textClass/keyword/term"

narrative-perspective: heterodiegetic, homodiegetic, autodiegetic, epistolary

All volumes of "Jean-Christophe" instead of just one? (Romain Rolland)

issue with filenames and identifiers

Concerns FRA008XX and FRA038XX filenames and xml:ids.

FRA02303: remove linebreaks inside p

All files: check for milestones that mark letters / poems.

FRA01402: encode notes using "ref"

Add digitalSource

Add info about digitalSource (especially "publisher") more widely, so that it can be picked up by the metadata extraction (and of course for better provenance documentation).

Check that all quotes have an @type

ID and filename must match!

My post processing fell over in a heap because the root element of the file named FRA0704_Sand has an xml:id of FRA0703. I fixed it by renaming the file: you may wish to check that this is what you intended!

FRA01601_GautierJ: Encode notes at the end of chapters (" ↑ ")

FRA00901_Daudet: Sort out quotation marks

FRA06301 : milestones not marked

here and elsewhere in this text

<p><hi rend="italic"/>\<hi rend="italic"> \</hi> \<hi rend="italic"/>*</p>

should be a <milestone> methinks

All files: create plain text version from level1

"édition ELTeC" in all titles (also, why are we doing this again?)

FRA00701: remove linebreaks inside p

Update worldcat reprint count data

Remove manual counts, add script-based table instead, or check each against each other.

The sourceDesc is not quite standard yet

Except for Aimard_Arizona and Ponson_Baronne.
See https://github.com/distantreading/WG1/wiki/teiHeaders

FRA03301: remove linebreaks inside p

Issue with chapters and letters: FRA00801

There are some brief letters in there encoded as "div" at the same level as chapters. Not sure this is the best way. Maybe use "quote"?

FRA03401: remove linebreaks inside p

label vs head

Just a reminder that several texts use <p><label>heading</label></p> where others use <head>heading</head>

FRA03802: faulty tokenization

Other files may be affected as well.

FRA02001: transcription quality needs improvement

FRA00101: remove linebreaks inside p

All files: uniform typography

Long inital hyphen for direct speech; simple apostrophe; oe => œ in all files; spacing around ";" and "!" and "?".

FRA03801: faulty tokenization

Various: footnote problems

The following 14 texts (found by //hi[contains(., '*')]) need attention to their footnotes
FRA00401
FRA01201
FRA01403
FRA02202

FRA02602
FRA02603

FRA00801: fix tokenization

FRA07201_Montagne: improve text quality (spell check)

FRA02302: remove linebreaks in p

level1/Stolz_MaisonRoulante_FR0476

This filename does not conform to your stated practice -- there should be a hyphen in front of the FR0, not an underline.

(Though FR0476_Stolz_MaisonRoulante would obviously be better)
