Output Data - level 1

This repository contains digitised manuscripts sale catalogs encoded in XML-TEI at level 1.

The data have not been cleaned (level 2) or post-processed (level 3).

Description of the data

Basic bibliographic information for each catalogue are available here.

Schema

You can find the ODD that validates the encoding in the repository Data_extraction (folder _schemas).

Workflow

Creation of the data

The creation process is described in detail in the following repo.

Cleaning the data

Entries of catalogues look like the following:

<item n="80" xml:id="CAT_000146_e80">
   <num>80</num>
   <name type="author">Cherubini (L.),</name>
   <trait>
      <p>l'illustre compositeur</p>
   </trait>
   <desc>L. a s.; 1836, 1 p 1 /2 in8.</desc>
    <measure commodity="currency" unit="FRF" quantity="12">12</measure>
</item>

Most of the reconciliation process uses data from the <desc> element of our xml files. We therefore need to correct typos to ease further post-processing, e.g.

• L. a s. -> L. a. s.
• in8 -> in-8
• 1 /2 -> 1/2
• 1 p -> 1 p.

The clean_xml.py script available here tackles this problem.
