Document Histories Taxonomy
LEMDOʼs document history taxonomy allows us to indicate the history of a document
in cases where we have converted a file from some other source for use in the LEMDO
ecosystem. The current list of document history types is short: IML (anything we converted
from the ISE Markup Language), XWiki (anything we converted from XWiki, either directly
from XWiki files before the server failed or from staticized web pages of XWiki output),
TCP (anything we converted to LEMDO TEI P5 from EEBO-TCPʼs TEI P4), MoEML (semi-diplomatic
texts of mayoral shows for the MoMS anthology), and SQL (anything we created from
an SQL database).
Such converted files also undergo lengthy remediation. You will also use the
@status attribute on the
<revisionDesc>
element to track the progress of the remediation. See Document Status Taxonomy.
Only documents that have been converted and have a prior history in some other markup
language have a document history type. Capture this information via the
<catRef>
element. The value of
@scheme is "tax:emdDocumentHist". The value of the
@target attribute is the relevant category within the Document History Taxonomy.
The following example gives the various
<catRef>
elements for the modernized text of a play that was first prepared in IML for the
old ISE platform:
<textClass>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdDocumentTypes" target="cat:ldtPrimaryText"/>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdWorkTypes" target="cat:lwtPlay"/>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdEditorialTreatments" target="cat:letModernized"/>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdDocumentHist" target="cat:edhSourceIML"/>
</textClass>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdDocumentTypes" target="cat:ldtPrimaryText"/>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdWorkTypes" target="cat:lwtPlay"/>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdEditorialTreatments" target="cat:letModernized"/>
<catRef scheme="tax:emdDocumentHist" target="cat:edhSourceIML"/>
</textClass>
