The task

At the moment, CroALa contains 485 documents and about 5.66 million words.

Of the 485 documents, 443 were easy to describe semi-automatically -- via XQuery scripts -- according to CTS metadata requirements. The rest (see a list) have multiple authors or other issues.

As we are following the CapiTainS guidelines on metadata and directory structure, it has been necessary to rename files in the collection. There is a concordance file listing old and new file names.

To learn why we chose to depart from the CapiTainS conventions, and to provide a different interpretation of the CITE Architecture, see the CroALa CTS explained. For an exploration of XPaths number of nodes in CroALa, see CroALa XPaths.

The task of making this version of CroALa compliant to current CapiTainS setup and conventions is described in CroALa to CapiTainS. Some implications of this task are also sketched there.
