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.

XML files

ECHO XML files are stored in two places.

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