| | 13 | * Hyphen problem |
| | 14 | * MS: hyphens are Buckwalter artefacts: should not be displayed (but not deleted either) |
| | 15 | * PD: hyphens come from filemaker file (used by transcriber to represent blanks) |
| | 16 | * JB: are there other characters to be taken care of? |
| | 17 | * JW: yes, works on it with MS |
| | 18 | * DW: Writing direction can be set in XHTML |

| | 23 | * WS: final sigma is wrong in some places |
| | 24 | * possible error source: new Lex script |
| | 25 | * Problems in transcoding should have been solved already by Perseus |
| | 26 | * Priorities |
| | 27 | * 1. edo/ sum-problem |
| | 28 | * 2. Validation |
| | 29 | * 3. role of eXist repository |
| | 30 | * 4. new eXist version |
| | 31 | * 5. eSciDoc |
| | 32 | * 6. Transcoding issues |
| | 33 | * DTD/ RNG |
| | 34 | * WS: implicit validation only through Schema and DTD |
| | 35 | * explicit validation through RNG in eXist using Jing |
| | 36 | * How to treat the DTD fragment |
| | 37 | * DTD fragment supports validation and saves 10% of the documents' size |
| | 38 | * Possible solution: separate validation and display of XML |
| | 39 | * DW: in general, entities are difficult in XML, it is better to resolve them |
| | 40 | * DTD fragment generates errors in a big number of tools |
| | 41 | * WS: resolving makes xml file harder to read and edit |
| | 42 | * to have xml file in eXist without fragment, a simple XSLT script is sufficient |
| | 43 | * WS: nice to have conversion back to version with fragment |
| | 44 | * can be done via script |
| | 45 | * Disambiguation problem |
| | 46 | * Highest priority |
| | 47 | * Possible solution: introduce hyperlemma |
| | 48 | * Pollux: change to new dictionaries? |
| | 49 | * JB: updates are not only corrected but have also different structure |
| | 50 | * dicitionaries would have to be transformed |
| | 51 | * DW: why do we not use the LSJ hosted at Perseus? |
| | 52 | * JW: we do not know if the corresponding entries are there |
| | 53 | * Perseus is slow |
| | 54 | * Abbreviations |
| | 55 | * WS: two different kinds of abbreviations |
| | 56 | * book specific and commonly used ones |
| | 57 | * should offer service |
| | 58 | * PD: make enhancement of morphological server: offer also abbreviation resolver |
| | 59 | * similar to docspecs |
| | 60 | * schedule a meeting for that |
| | 61 | * WS collects material |
| | 62 | * PD: WS solves these problems for the third time |
| | 63 | * another task for the IT archaeological meeting |
