Presentation Transcript

  1. Leiden University. The university to discover. DMT Week 5 • Adriaan van der Weel and Peter Verhaar

  2. Leiden University. The university to discover. Last week’s lecture • Metadata and their role • Some metadata standards: • TEI header • Dublin Core • EAD • Marc21 • Mapping and exporting metadata • ‘Crosswalking’ (e.g. Shelfmark > Call number)

  3. Leiden University. The university to discover. Last week’s seminar • The TEI header

  4. Leiden University. The university to discover. Presentation 1 (Analogue) • Fixing the text: books / print • Ideal text • Form • Content • Entire text • Stability of form and content • Fixity • Inseparability of form and content!

  5. Leiden University. The university to discover. Presentation 2 (Digital) • Digital text: • Separates form from content: • Fluidity of form and content • Lack of closure

  6. Leiden University. The university to discover. Using computers to fix text • Wysiwyg in DTP, word processing • Homo typographicus • End product stable print • XML can also output for print (e.g., .pdf) • This involves an equation between typography and document structure • XML deals with more than document structure

  7. Leiden University. The university to discover. Using the computer’s power • XML explicitly represents implicit information: • Structural functions of elements (cf. typography) • Relationships (OHCO) • Facts (e.g., dates, events, people) • Etcetera • All of this can be found and interpreted through a stylesheet

  8. Leiden University. The university to discover. Presentation is a particular view of the data

  9. Leiden University. The university to discover.

  10. Leiden University. The university to discover. Stylesheets • Stylesheets can be used to • Vary graphic appearance • Vary content • Vary order of content • Selectively show/hide content (e.g. in showing search results) • NB: • Also affects interpretative encoding • E.g., normalised dates

  11. Leiden University. The university to discover. Technologies • Anastasia • Chaucer Project • Institute for New Testament Research, Münster • Leiden Armenian Lexical Textbase) • Book Trade Correspondence Project • eXtensible Style Language (XSL)

  12. Leiden University. The university to discover. XSL • Makes use of XML’s OHCO: • Hierarchical tree • Document as a collection of nodes • Root, element, attribute, text nodes • Element relationships: • parent, child, sibling • XSLT document consists of • style templates to apply to nodes

  13. Leiden University. The university to discover. The XSLT processor • XSLT processor traverses the XML document tree. It: • Matches style templates with nodes in the tree • Carries out the instruction contained in the template • Outputs the result • XSLT processors are found in browsers (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and editors (Oxygen)
