This is a great step jump forward for me. Stéfan Sinclair on "Getting started with XSLT document() ?" http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/getting-started-with-document#post-1023 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:24:36 +0000 Stéfan Sinclair 1023@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ I should have mentioned, BTW, that the code above was adapted from <a href="http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200108/msg00545.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200108/msg00545.html</a> Stéfan Sinclair on "Getting started with XSLT document() ?" http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/getting-started-with-document#post-1022 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:23:46 +0000 Stéfan Sinclair 1022@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ If you're needing to combine multiple documents flexibly, then you probably want to do it in a scripting language rather than in pure XSL. If you know in advance the names of the files you wish to combine, you could do something like this: First, the XML document that lists the child documents to combine. This assumes that the list is static and that you know the filenames in advance (not through user-submitted parameters, for instance). <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="xml" style="font-family:monospace;"><?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="combine.xsl"?> <documents> <document href="temp1.xml"/> <document href="temp2.xml"/> </documents></pre></div></div> Next we have the XSL document that we could name <code>combine.xsl</code>. When processed from the file above, it should go through each document and pull in the actual contents, wrapped in a new root tag. <div class="bb_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="xml" style="font-family:monospace;"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0">    <xsl:template match="/">  <combined-documents> <xsl:apply-templates select="document(/documents/document/@href)" mode="document"/> </combined-documents> </xsl:template>    <xsl:template match="/" mode="document"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template>   </xsl:stylesheet></pre></div></div> Hayim on "Getting started with XSLT document() ?" http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/getting-started-with-document#post-1021 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:42:25 +0000 Hayim 1021@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ Thanks for the reply, and sorry to be unclear. I am trying to extract text from a bunch of xml docs, and bundle them into a single html output. Dorothea Salo on "Getting started with XSLT document() ?" http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/getting-started-with-document#post-1020 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:29:09 +0000 Dorothea Salo 1020@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ So I'm a little confused here. Are you combining a lot of files into one file with XSLT, or turning one file into a lot of files? Or both? Hayim on "Getting started with XSLT document() ?" http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/getting-started-with-document#post-1019 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:20:57 +0000 Hayim 1019@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ I am hoping someone can send me to a good tutorial or working model. I am a rank neophyte trying working on a project that will present multiple witnesses to strongly aligned texts, each in a separate xml (TEI) file and each <ab> has a unique xml:id. The alignment is to a central xml file, which links out to the unique IDs. For demo purposes, I'd like to be able to use XSLT to pull the corresponding texts from the several files into a single html file. Any advice on how best to get started? Wayne Graham on "HELP! I need advice on which approach to take with a text encoding project..." http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/help-i-need-advice-on-which-approach-to-take-with-a-text-encoding-project#post-1018 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 16:07:00 +0000 Wayne Graham 1018@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ One quick question, is this for you to do analysis, or for a more general audience? Depending on the needs of that group should really drive the approach. If the analysis is for your own research, it may not be worth the effort to develop an interface; if its for a more general group, you should spend some time defining what exactly your target audience needs. There are a lot of ways to proceed, and I would encourage you to try some off-the-shelf software (like XTF that Stefan suggests, or try out something like this project <a href="https://github.com/mwmitchell/raven)" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mwmitchell/raven)</a> and see how far that gets you down the road before developing any custom solution. The less time you spend with dealing with software internals, the more time you can dedicate toward the real part of your project. Stéfan Sinclair on "HELP! I need advice on which approach to take with a text encoding project..." http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/help-i-need-advice-on-which-approach-to-take-with-a-text-encoding-project#post-1016 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:04:22 +0000 Stéfan Sinclair 1016@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ I'd suggest you see what mileage you can get from existing frameworks and then decide how to build any custom functionality, if need be. Allowing comparison of letters, for instance, may be as simple as putting two instances of an interface in a window with iframes or something similar. Given that it's XML, you might consider trying XTF (<a href="http://xtf.cdlib.org/)" rel="nofollow">http://xtf.cdlib.org/)</a>, which should allow you to define fields to index.

I'd add these: Could you say more about the scholarly or intellectual aims of the project? What kind of content analysis will end users want to do? What aspects of the letters will they be most interested in? Are there other projects that do similar things with XML/TEI? (That is, are you sure you're not re-inventing the wheel?)

Which works best across browsers? Which allows you to implement the features that users have asked you for? Which allows for a comprehensive API, so that third parties can write tools against the material as well? Offhand, I'd vote thumbs-down on the Java GUI (hides too much), but I have no particular opinion about the other two. Raskolnikov on "HELP! I need advice on which approach to take with a text encoding project..." http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/help-i-need-advice-on-which-approach-to-take-with-a-text-encoding-project#post-1011 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 16:49:53 +0000 Raskolnikov 1011@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ Hi there, I desperately need advice at the moment, and really hope some people here can provide some suggestions. I have a fairly extensive data set in the forms of letters (from the 16th century) which have been encoded in XML. My job is to create something which aids content analysis of the letters. - This could be a GUI written in Java, which (via SAX or DOM) allows the user to extract certain features from the letters, compare them side by side rather than have to laboriously flick between letters on a computer system. - Or it could be an elaborate XML project, where XSLT, HTML hyperlinks, and possibly some type of query language such as XQuery or more likely XPath would be used. - Or it could be XML documents displayed in IE and using a JavaScript window/console to select, extract, manipulate, compare different letters. Does anyone have an opinion or a suggestion on which of the three would be the best option to take?

It allows sorting without tables & looks very snazzy!
