In our 4th session, May 4th, first we did a recap of the previous session, elaborating on the header, followed by a quick exercise finding possible errors in the examples
Then, we reviewed basic elements of coding:
- text divisions <division>
- title and subtitle <head>
- paragraphs <p>
quotes/spoken word
<q>
Then we focused on the header as an important part of codes.
A header includes Metadata and has the following mandatory elements:
<fileDesc>
<titleStmt></titleStmt>
<publicationStmt></publicationStmt>
<sourceDesc></sourceDesc>
</fileDesc>
Michael and Anne asked the class find all mistakes in the sample header, and nearly everyone detected 10 mistakes.
This is a part of one example of a sample header we discussed in the class:
<TEI xmlns=”http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0″
<teilleader>
<filedesc>
<titleStmt>
<title>Parents Should Love Their Children Equally</title
*The title is not closed properly-
Finally, the class was asked to continue coding the folktale “Parents Should Love their Children equally”.
