Technical Glossary (GLOSS1)
¶ Scope
The sitewide technical glossary in GLOSS1.xml contains technical terms and project-specific terms and definitions thereof. Exclusions:
it does not contain definitions of bibliographical or editorial terms. Those terms
will be defined in a separate glossary or in EMEE.
Only LEMDO Team members at UVic can edit GLOSS1.
¶ Structure
The file is structured as a series of
<div>
elements, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each one contains a
<list>
element with the
@type value of "glossary".
<div xml:id="GLOSS1_F">
<head>F</head>
<list type="glossary">
<item xml:id="PATH1">
<label>file path</label>
<gloss>A list of nested directory names separated by slashes. It is a way of showing directories nested within other directories (e.g., lemdo/data/texts).</gloss>
</item>
<item xml:id="EXTE1">
<label>file extension</label>
<gloss>The letters that follow the period in a filename. These letters, known as a filename suffix, indicate the file type, for example, .xml is an eXtensible Markup Language document.</gloss>
</item>

</item>
</list>
</div>
Give the
<div>
the
@xml:id value of "GLOSS1_X", where X is the letter of the alphabet contained in the
<div>
.Each item needs a unique xml:id. Follow the ABCD1 pattern for LEMDO xml:ids.
The
<label>
element contains the term being glossed. As much as possible, this term is the one
used in the documentation. There may, however, be cases where a synonym is used in
the documentation, with a link on the synonym to the term. The content of
<label>
will be displayed in the pop-up.The
<gloss>
element contains our definition. If you are writing the definition, keep in mind
that the people who need these glosses are editors using the LEMDO Encoding Guidelines
to encode their editions, and Research Assistants at UVic and elsewhere. Avoid using
additional technical terms in your definition of a technical term. Give examples where
appropriate. Make a link to another resource if it is helpful.Note: We have a Schematron rule to prevent
<list type="glossary"> from being used outside of GLOSS1, except in
<egXML>

Schematron
“Schematron is an open-source language for ensuring that certain patterns are present
in XML documents. For example, it can insist upon certain spellings, enforce curly
apostrophes, and limit the use of elements to specific contexts. It is the feather dusterof an XML project. See An Overview of Schematron.”
