end/line Week 4 – Diary

By Brian Hamilton | Published: March 22, 2017

1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 While Greg has been working on the front-end of end/line, I’ve been continuing with the back-end. Over the last week, I built the infrastructure for the user accounts and logging in and out. I used something called passport.js, which covers setting up and sessions and cookies and all the good stuff. I’m waiting until I talk with Greg today until I start to incorporate it into the front-end.

2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 Other than that, I also wrote (what I think will be) the final version of the XML validation script. I tested it along with examples of TEI that I saw on Wikipedia. As long as there are no other crazy aspects of TEI that I don’t know about, we should be good there. If there are, it’s easy enough to add another pattern.

3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 How the script works is by testing against three patterns of how XML should be written. These are:

4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 <[word]>

5 Leave a comment on paragraph 5 0 <[word] [word]=”[word maybe with numbers]”>

6 Leave a comment on paragraph 6 0 <[word] [word]:[word]=”[word maybe with numbers]”>

7 Leave a comment on paragraph 7 0 If the tag doesn’t follow either of those, it will fail and report which tag has the error. To do this, I used a JavaScript regular expression. This was the first time I’ve written my own, so that was fun. Once that passes, it will then check to make sure there is a closing tag. That’s just the typical </[word]> tag.

8 Leave a comment on paragraph 8 0 I’m pretty confident that the script works for every possibility. Now I just need to work with Greg to get it implemented on the site.

  • Welcome to Digital Praxis 2016-2017

    Encouraging students think about the impact advancements in digital technology have on the future of scholarship from the moment they enter the Graduate Center, the Digital Praxis Seminar is a year-long sequence of two three-credit courses that familiarize students with a variety of digital tools and methods through lectures offered by high-profile scholars and technologists, hands-on workshops, and collaborative projects. Students enrolled in the two-course sequence will complete their first year at the GC having been introduced to a broad range of ways to critically evaluate and incorporate digital technologies in their academic research and teaching. In addition, they will have explored a particular area of digital scholarship and/or pedagogy of interest to them, produced a digital project in collaboration with fellow students, and established a digital portfolio that can be used to display their work. The two connected three-credit courses will be offered during the Fall and Spring semesters as MALS classes for master’s students and Interdisciplinary Studies courses for doctoral students.

    The syllabus for the course can be found at cuny.is/dps17.
