Karen Coyle asked, "Eric, have you identified a solution?", and the short answer is, "Sort of"; I will probably will put literals (not URIs) in my metadata values, and thus my XHTML will look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Reading Journal of eScience Librarianship: Responsible AI in Libraries and Archives</title> <meta name="dc.identifier" content="https://distantreader.org/stacks/carrels-curated/jeslib-v13_n01-2024/" /> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Eric Lease Morgan" /> <meta name="dc.title" content="Reading Journal of eScience Librarianship: Responsible AI in Libraries and Archives" /> <meta name="dc.date" content="2024-03-13" /> <meta name="dc.description" content="A special issue of Journal of eScience Librarianship..." /> <meta name="dc.subject" content="Journal of eScience Librarianship" /> <meta name="dc.subject" content="artificial intelligence" /> <meta name="dc.subject" content="libraries" /> <meta name="dc.subject" content="distant reading" /> </head> <body>...</body> </html> My goal is not about robots reading my metadata as much as it is about reading the metadata myself. I will write sets of well-formed and valid XHTML, as defined by the DTD. Once I write many such files, I can have a system of tiny scripts loop through them to create index pages in many formats: XHTML, TSV, CSV, JSON, and eventually RDF/XML. The fledgling system can be seen here, temporarily: https://distantreader.org/stacks/carrels-curated/bin/ The beginnings of an automatically created XHTML page pointing to the set of XHTML files can be found here: https://distantreader.org/stacks/carrels-curated/ But remember, "Software is never done, and if it were, then it would be called 'hardware'." :-D Thank you for your interest. -- Eric Morgan Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship University of Notre Dame
