DCLP litpap.info: Description

Differences and Similarities: DCLP (litpap.info) and HGV/DDB (papyri.info)

File organisation

DCLP files aggregate both metadata and text in the one file. The files are organised according to the TM number.

• Example of a DCLP file:

  • http://litpap.info/dclp/128966
  • https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128966.xml

• Example of a papyri.info file (hardly necessary, but here all the same)

  • http://papyri.info/ddbdp/bgu;1;22
    • aggregates
  • https://github.com/papyri/idp.data/blob/master/DDB_EpiDoc_XML/bgu/bgu.1/bgu.1.2.xml
    • and
  • https://github.com/papyri/idp.data/blob/master/HGV_meta_EpiDoc/HGV9/8983.xml
    • as well of course as picking up APIS info where it is available

Content of the files

body/text section

basically works in the same way as the DDBDP section of papyri.info. There have no changes to Leiden+ / xSugar so far. Some tweaks in the planning and perhaps to be carried out in the next few weeks. Things like indenting texts. Addition of text critical mark up are planned. Further proliferation of g types has taken place. Many of these should be re-encoded once we have new Leiden+ for them.

metadata section

Lots of changes to the XML here.

Starting with where there have been no changes:

Date section e.g.

• https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128966.xml#L42-L43
  • remains the same as in papyri.info. The Date section in the Editor has remained the same.

Provenance section e.g.

• https://github.com/DCLP/idp.data/blob/master/DCLP/129/128966.xml#L42-L43
  • remains the same as in papyri.info. The Provenance section in the Editor has remained the same.
