Schema support

The MPDL document storing and querying system supports the document schemas Archimedes and Echo. A subset of TEI-Lite will be supported in the near future.

Archimedes

Schema

The Archimedes schema was developed by the ​Archimedes project and could be found ​here.

Example

In the following simple example document the metadata part consists of 4 elements („author“, „title“, „lang“, „date“) and the text part consists of 2 pages („pb“) with 2 paragraphs („p“) which contains 3 sentences („s“).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<archimedes xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <info>
    <author>Your name, your prename</author>
    <title>Your title</title>
    <lang>en</lang>
    <date>1789</date>
  </info>
  <text>
    <pb xlink:href="0001.jpg"/>
    <p>
      <s>This is the first sentence of the first paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the second sentence of the first paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the third sentence of the first paragraph.</s>
    </p>
    <p>
      <s>This is the first sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the second sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the third sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
    </p>
    <pb xlink:href="0002.jpg"/>

      <s>This is the second sentence of the first paragraph with line <lb/>break.</s><lb/>
      <s>This is the third sentence of the first paragraph with line <lb/>break.</s><lb/>
    </p>
    <p>
      <s>This is the first sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the second sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the third sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
    </p>
  </text>
</archimedes>

Echo

Schema

The MPDL Echo schema is developed by the schema group of this project and could be found ​here.

Elements

An Echo document (element „echo“ with namespace „echo“) consists of a metadata part (element „metadata“) which contains the Dublin Core metadata of the document and a fulltext part (element „text“) which contains the content of the document.

Dublin Core metadata elements (namespace dcterms):

• identifier
• creator
• title
• date
• rights
• license
• accessRights

Fulltext elements:

• text flow elements: head, div (type, level, style), p (style), lb, cb, gap (extent)
• text structure elements: s
• figure elements: figure, image (file), caption (style), description (style), variables (style), handwritten (xlink:href)
• note elements: note (xlink:label), anchor (type, xlink:href)
• quotation elements: q, quote, blockquote, set-off
• translation elements: foreign (lang, xml:lang), reg (orig)
• mathematical elements: var (type), num, mml:*
• geographical elements: place, event, time
• person elements: person
• xhtml elements: xhtml:* : e.g. table, ul
• other elements: expan, emph (class), ref

Example

In the following simple example document the metadata part consists of 4 Dublin Core elements („creator“, „title“, „language“, „date“) and the text part consists of 2 pages („pb“) with 2 paragraphs („p“) which contains 3 sentences („s“).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      <s>This is the second sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
      <s>This is the third sentence of the second paragraph.</s>
    </p>

</echo>

TEI Lite

A subset of TEI-Lite will be supported in the near future.

Schema

The TEI Lite schema is developed by the ​Text Encoding Initiative and could be found ​here.
