Hi, I have here the original XML texts for CzeKMS (http://crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=CzeKMS is from earlier drafts and without very extensive footnotes IIUC) and I was promised from the copyright holders to be able to release them under a free license (details are under negotiation ATM so I won't point out to the current repository of texts; the current state of script is attached). I have now XSLT script which translates original non-standard XML to OSIS which validates against XSD schema (osisCore.2.1.1.xsd).
I don't when (if ever) copyright holders switch to OSIS as to their canonical format, so I want to limit myself to machine translation using just the script, but trying to preserve (and properly annotate with OSIS elements) as much information from the original source as possible (notes, variants, cross-references, etc.) Certainly that opens a lot of opportunities for possible later improvements via hand-editing, but that will have to wait I guess. However, many questions remain, so I would like to ask here for a bit of help: * First about licence: are there any limitations on which license is encouraged to use / allowed (when it is not public domain that is). Are Creative Commons normal licenses for biblical texts (I am suggesting CC-BY-SA 3.0 CZ, but would be there any problems if we went all the way to CC-BY-ND-NC)? * Next, about notes ... aside from textual notes and cross-references which are easy (although I will have to mark all textual notes as type="study", because I cannot distinguish by the script what's allusion, alternative or other types of note). However, there are also slightly less than hundred types of (mostly milestoned) elements (either separate elements or in the end authors of the DTD receded to the universal element <index/> with attribute n distinguishing different marks in the text ... either to mark different verbal forms untranslatable to Czech, or with marks distinguishing different Hebrew/Greek words underlying the translation (soma/sarx give same word "tělo" in Czech, chronos/kairos is another couple). So, the questions are: - could I mark Strong's numbers just for some (few) Greek/Hebrew words and not for others? Is it same with morphological/syntax marks? Could I mark just some verbal constructs and not others? Is it correct OSIS? Won't break it sword (and its frontends)? - is <w/> milestoneable? - I couldn't find how to mark various levels of originality of the text (all those "majority/minority original text doesn't contain this text"). What's the proper way? * Is it better for conversion to Sword .mod files to generate one huge bible.xml file or separate files for each biblical book? Thanks for any advice. Blessings, Matěj Cepl
