This repository contains bibliographic metadata for the newspaper al-Ittiḥād al-ʿUthmānī published by Aḥmad Ḥasan Ṭabbārā in Beirut after 1908.

some technical details

This repository contains the following files:

1. a TEI XML file containing one <biblStruct> for each issue of al-Ittiḥād al-ʿUthmānī. This file is produced through automatic iteration making use of this code developed for OpenArabicPE and manual validation against the digital facsimiles.
2. individual TEI files for every issue of al-Ittiḥād al-ʿUthmānī. These are generated from the output of step 1 using the XSLT stylesheet generate_tei-from-biblstruct.xsl from the same repository. TEI files contain links to the locally available facsimiles.
3. all bibliographic data is then automatically converted from TEI XML to MODS XML for integration into reference management software etc (such as Zotero).
4. The TEI files for individual issues were converted to TSS XML for use with the now discontinued reference manager Sente.
