Robert Graves Diary Project

Markup Process: The markup is being completed using a version of the TEI Corpus DTD (TEI P4), modified using TEI Pizza Chef.

The mark-up process involves the following:

• inserting tags for names, places, titles, foreign words, emendations, notes and editorial comments
• replacing entities (such as accents, and currency signs) with the required codes
• doing research for editorial notes and for data bases when required (many of the diary notes have been provided by Karl Goldschmidt--Graves’ personal secretary--and by William Graves).
• adding names, places and titles to their respective databases as they occur in the diary. These are also added to the Notetab library file, a reference list which includes the tagged codes connecting each item with their data base, and enhances the efficiency of the mark-up.
• validating the marked-up text with a text editor (we are using oXygen) and making the necessary corrections.

Access to the marked up files can be found at http://graves.uvic.ca/graves/site/markup_files.xq
