What I meant was whether the book has any illustrations. Usually the catalog record also indicates if any or all are in color. Never the number/list of illustrations. Alev. At 11:31 AM 11/10/2004, you wrote:
Thank you!
One quick question jumped out at me.
You mention Illustrations. Do you just mean a total number of illustrations or a list of illustrations in the work? Total will be easy... a list of illustrations is a lot of work! :)

Joshua,
I think the minimum mandatory fields should include:
Author (including birth/death dates) Title (and/or Uniform Title) Subtitle (when it exists) Editor/Translator/Illustrator Date the book was published Physical properties of the "original print work" like number of pages,
size
of the book, illustrations, etc. Notes (Contents for collections, for example) Call numbers (LC/Dewey) Subjects Genre (that's where the Mystery, Historical Fiction, etc would come in)
That's what I can think of now. Does the list help?
Alev.

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.

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. _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/listinfo.cgi/gutvol-d
