Encode Production Database Entries

LEMDOʼs Production Database (PROD1) works similarly to LEMDOʼs Bibliography (BIBL1).
Within each bibliographic entry in PROD1 we tag certain types of data to facilitate limited searching and ordering.
Once all information is in the correct order and is punctuated and capitalized according to Prepare Your Production Bibliography, you can add your source to PROD1.

Workflow

Wrap the text node of each entry in the <bibl> element.
Add an xml:id to the <bibl> element. The xml:id must be new and unique to the entire LEMDO project. Ctrl+F the A–Z Index text file on the lemdo-dev site (available from the Resources menu) to find the next unused ID.
Tag all directors with the <author> element.
Tag all titles with the <title> element, @level attribute and the appropriate value.
For stage productions, tag all city/states of performance with the <pubPlace> element.
For stage productions, tag all playing companies with the <publisher> element.
For films, tag all companies with the <distributor> element.
Tag all dates with the <date> element.

Encoding Details

Directors

Tag directors using the <author> element. If there are two or more directors, tag each director with a separate <author> element.
Do not include punctuation between the tags (i.e., in the text node) unless it is part of the director’s name. The period after an initial is part of the director’s name:
<bibl>
<!-- ... -->

  <author>Gorrie, J.</author>, dir. <!-- ... --></bibl>
<bibl>
<!-- ... -->

  <author>Bogdanov, Michael</author>, dir. <!-- ... --></bibl>
Tag two or more directors as follows:
<bibl>
<!-- ... -->

  <author>Branagh, Kenneth</author> and <author>Paul Kafno</author>, dir. <!-- ... --></bibl>

Titles

Tag titles using the <title> element. Use the @level attribute to indicate what kind of work it is.
There are two different values that you may need in PROD1:
"m" (monographic) – the title applies to a monograph such as a book or other item considered to be a distinct publication, including single volumes of multivolume works.
"s" (series) – the title applies to a series of otherwise distinct publications such as a collection.
Do not include punctuation inside the element unless it is part of the title:
<bibl><!-- Preceding metadata -->
  <title level="m">Twelfth Night</title>. <title level="s">Shakespeare: The Animated Tales</title>
  <!-- ... -->
</bibl>

Place of Staging

For stage productions, tag the place of staging using the <pubPlace> element. There is no need to identify the specific place using attributes. Type a colon and a single space after the place of publication:
<bibl>
<!-- ... -->

  <pubPlace>Stratford</pubPlace>: <!-- ... --></bibl>

Playing Company

For stage productions, tag the playing companies <publisher> element. Type a comma and a single space after the playing company:
<bibl><!-- Preceding metadata -->
  <publisher>Royal Shakespeare Company</publisher>, <!-- ... --></bibl>

Distributor

For films, tag the distributor using the <distributor> element. Type a comma and a single space after the distributor:
<bibl><!-- Preceding metadata -->
  <distributor>Christmas Films</distributor>, <!-- --></bibl>

Date

Tag the date of publication (as given in the imprint line) using the <date> element. Type a period after the date. Add a single space if more information is to follow:
<bibl><!-- Preceding metadata -->
  <date>1997</date>. <!-- ... --></bibl>
