| 8 | 10/23 | Drupal + TEI | A quick primer on Drupal and TEI Please follow links, esp. to the TEICHI Drupal module, focusing on the "Features" and "Documentation" pages. Using Feeds module to Ingest TEI: Quinn Dombrowski, Drupal for Humanists Read Chapter 14 on Importing Data. You may skim 14.3.6 on Feeds Tamper. When reading through the first example on "Importing People Nodes" (14.4) think about how this process might work if TEI were the input instead of CSV. The short section on xpath parsers (14.3.3.3) may clue you in to the potential for "scraping" TEI documents for data and metadata to be stored in the Drupal databases. | (No exercise) | Rettenmaier |
