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).

NB: These instructions do not apply to MPDL project texts, for example Wilkins 1684. In these texts, the explicit file name of the JPG is given in an attribute of <pb>. And at least in the next few months, the texts in trunk/texts/eXist/echo can (and will) be overwritten without warning, i.e. all changes will be lost. As an interim solution, please notify Klaus if changes have to be made.

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 or via ​ECHO Search. In case the entry for the new images doesn't exist yet, you may want to search the digigroup's Filemaker database: Open filemaker -> Ablage -> Öffnen... -> Hosts -> Bibl.4 -> archiv_id (ask digigroup for login)

XML files

ECHO XML files are stored in two places.

Workflow

We are no longer using oXygen to edit and to version the XML files.
We are now using the Eclipse environment. A zip-file containing Eclipse plus SVN-client plus XML-editor is available from / at ...

Download current version

  • Start Eclipse
  • Choose: File -> Import -> SVN -> Project from SVN -> Create a new repository location
  • Insert the following 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)
  • You will be asked if you wish to normalize URL ? -> No
  • In the next window, you won't be able to click the Finish button. This is a bug - Change the selection to Date, and then back to Head Revision. Now you can click Finish.
  • Chose the last checkout method: Check out as a project with the name specified
  • Name the project archimedes, if you like
  • "Depth: Recursively" is fine
  • You want to do a Head Revision
  • You can use the default workspace location

After downloading the files, you should be able no navigate the folders in Eclipse's Package Explorer. The XML editor should automatically be used for viewing the XML files.

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 new version (to SVN)

  • Right-click into Eclipse's Package Explorer window. Choose: Team -> Commit

Update index.meta

  • Copy index.meta from the new images folder to your desktop / home folder
  • Open it with an XML or text editor
  • Insert into <bib> 
    <texttool>
        <image>pageimg</image>
        <figures>figures</figures>
        <text-url-path>/[path-to-file]/[name-of-file].xml</text-url-path>
</texttool>

Example for text-url-path: /archimedes/la/casat_mecha_017_la_1684.xml

  • Copy the updated image.meta back into the new images folder

Copy the folder of figures

  • Copy the "xxx-xx-figures" folder from archimedes to the corresponding folder in library
  • Rename the folder to "figures"

Upload new version (for ECHO display)

CHECK EVERYTHING

  • Search for the author/title/year in ​ECHO
    • If links don't work (images are shown but not texts): Update links in ​ECHO/Zope (ask XML-group for login)
      • Navigate to your resource
      • The link in the field "Link (if no ressourceID):" has to look like: http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView?mode=texttool&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/YHAK0YQ4
      • The link in the field "MetaLink? (if no ressource ID):" hast to look like: http://content.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/YHAK0YQ4/index.meta
    • The same has to be repeated for every collection your item is part of!
  • Perform the same search in ​the library catalogue
    • Update links in biblio, if necessary.
  • Check again.

Preserving the old version

Although this doubles the entries of some books, the decision was made to keep a version with the old images and the old XML text, as well. The images are kept in the permanent/archimedes folder.

  • Copy the respective XML document from your working copy of trunk/texts/eXist/archimedes/@2709 (this version is similar to the one in the Old CVS, but has the DTD fragment resolved) to the appropriate language folder in trunk/texts/eXist/archimedes, but insert an _old before the .xml prefix.
  • Open the _old version in an editor:
    • Insert the following line before the </info>-line (adjust $directory here to the corresponding directory of the xml file on the Foxridge): 
      <echodir>/permanent/archimedes/large/$directory</echodir>
    • Also in the <info>-Tag: change the <title> by adding (insert the actual number of pages) 
      , old version (xxx pages)
    • Save the document and upload it as documented in the section above.
  • Mount the Foxridge server and go to the corresponding directory of the XML text in /Volumes/online_permanent/archimedes_repository/large/
  • Open the index.meta in an editor
    • Change the <title> in the same way as above
    • In the <texttool> tag, add _old to the file in the <text-url-path> beforeht .xml prefix.
    • Save the changes
  • Open info.xml in the presentation directory in an editor
    • Edit the <title> as above and save the document.
  • Upload the file as usual
