Situation

You want to update XML files in ECHO because new images are available (e.g. a book has been digitized by the MPIWG library & these images are to replace older images that are not owned by the library).

Images

Both new and old images are online on foxridge, subdivision online_permanent

• old image files: archimedes_repository -> large -> [image-folder-old]
• new image files: library -> [image-folder-new]

The names of the image folders can be looked up in the ​library catalogue.

XML files

ECHO XML files are stored in two places.

• Subversioning file system: ​https://it-dev.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/svn/
• The (further processed) files that ECHO uses for display: ​https://itgroup.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de:8080/tracs/mpdl-project-content/browser/trunk/texts/eXist/

Workflow

We are currently using Oxygen to edit and to version the XML files.

Download current version

• Open Oxygen
• Choose: Tools -> SVN Client
• Click the "Repository check-out"-icon in the upper left corner
• Insert Repository URL: ​https://it-dev.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/svn/mpdl-project-content/trunk/texts/eXist/archimedes/ (or the URL to whichever folder your file is stored in)
• Select an empty folder on your machine as target folder
• Chose Revision: HEAD (= newest version)
• Click OK, and wait for files to download

Edit file

• Open the file you want to edit from the downloaded files
• Insert into <info> the element <echodir> containing the path to the new images, e.g. <echodir>/permanent/library/A41S4WF7/</echodir>
• Insert in the appropriate places as many <pb/> elements as necessary (usually at the beginning and end of the book)

Upload the new version

• In the SVN Client, chose "Check in all" (4th item on top from left)
