Maybe if the computer people stuck to "computering" and listened to how the library world does it? After all, the library sytems and conventions have been in place for a while.
Great! Answer my earlier question then. What fields should be mandatory for our <teiHeader> and which fields should be optional? ie, Author, title, Original publisher = mandatory. Optional? Author birth/death dates? Which printing of the original source we derived from? Others? I'm not a librarian. I need someone knowledgeable to answer these questions. Josh PS If we define good teiHeader information for each work, it becomes a much simpler task for Marcello's cataloging scripts to find all sorts of fun information for the reader.
