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 new version (to SVN)

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

Update index.meta

• Copy index.meta from the new images folder to your machine
• Open it with oXygen (or any other 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)

• [Activate your eXist account: ​http://mpdl-proto.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/mpdl/doc/index.html ]
• Login to eXist: ​http://mpdl-proto.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/mpdl/doc/login-exist.xql
• Chose the file to upload from your local machine
• Chose Document base: Archimedes (in this case)
• Chose language appropriately
• Execute
• To check if the upload was successful, you may have to reload the result page before you see the link to the uploaded file in an ECHO viewer. -> Das Bilder-Anzeige-Problem?
