charters's Issues
Osney corrections
numerous remaining queries in D.D. Ch.Ch. O. where Tuija was not able to match D-Y ref to the Osney Cartulary. Find these by searching for XXX
orderable items
make sure these are in place for all collections
check shelfmarks for seal-only "charters" and correct if necessary
update any links pointing to charters-qa site
to be done at launch
seals pages do not lead anywhere
e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/charter_102056_seal_1
possible solutions (?) (a) do not display these pages separately but only the "parent" page charter_102056 (b) display a link to the "parent" page with text such as "see MS. Ch. Sussex 145"
seals information should follow the preview text
This might probably just be the order in the catalog controller
`condition` in `seal`: do not display as a header
(for e.g. of current display see https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/charter_100031 )
update about and help pages
place index pages should show lists of related places
For example, the index page for Suffolk (place_000070) should show a list of all places with <region key="000070">
. Commit 12993e9 added the relevant @key
values to the region
elements for counties. Similarly for areas which are not counties: for example the page for Chesham (place_108838) should show other places with <region key="108838">
. Commit 7d0a7f7 added the values for Chesham as a test in but in general the required values on region[@type='parish']
are not yet present.
The label above the list should be something like "Other places in this administrative area". The list should perhaps be in multiple columns to avoid too much scrolling.
duplicate authorities
Norton, Augustinian priory (check for confusion with Cold Norton)
court of wards and liveries
court of augmentations
Oxford, Christ Church
Abbots Fee manor (Oxon)
Clanfield, manor (Oxon)
Claydon Oxon (correct parish is Cropredy)
implement date slider filter
Or century (decade?) filter if slider is too complex.
do not display `history` in charter previews
(examples where it displays: https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Bms_collection_s%5D%5B%5D=Suffolk&f%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=charter&page=16&per_page=200) -- apparently because of the format of the history
selection with an acquistion
element and no provenance
elements (which can be changed in the data, but might be useful to change whatever is causing the display to avoid future issues)
Yorks charters
add unaccessioned items
Parish > County Index field does not work.
I just add this issue so I wont forget to work on it.
If a charter has a granted parish and a granted County the parish should be displayed.
If a charter has no granted parish but a granted County the County should be displayed as a fallback.
I thought Blacklight8 is smart enough so I could just use unless: 'granted_parish' but obviously it is not.
links and text for abbreviations / conventions
currently point to the pages on the medieval catalogue. Should point relevant pages on the github charters wiki (when this is made public). Those pages need to be created.
show related organizations on place pages
(temporarily?) remove some filters
Can we (temporarily?) remove the following filters which are currently unhelpful due to having only one value or which we think might confuse users (we can explore this more when we user test)
- also known as
- origin county
- repository
- document type
Empty search results in no matches instead of returning everything
This is a tricky one
Douce charters
add records for missing items.
Aeon integration
The orderable item is often a box or guardbook rather than the individual charter. This is captured in the TEI as follows:
<idno type="shelfmark">MS. Ch. Eng. 1</idno> <altIdentifier> <idno type="orderableItem">MS. Ch. Eng. b. 1</idno> </altIdentifier>
cosmetic improvements
- can the blue square with text "Charters Catalogue in Oxford Libraries" be changed (a) so formatting matches that on medieval.bodleian (b) with new text "Medieval and Early Modern Charters in the Bodleian Libraries" (if this can be made to fit)
- can the strapline be changed from "A catalogue of Charters at the Bodleian Libraries and selected Oxford colleges" to "A catalogue of medieval and early modern charters, related documents, and seals at the Bodleian Libraries"
- (if either text needs to be shortened, "medieval and early modern" can be omitted from the title or strapline, but not both)
possible changes to display of place index pages
sample page: https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/place_105449
- the data displayed under "also know as" is often quite messy, and we might not have time to tidy it up before launch; so perhaps this could be hidden for now?
- "see also" : probably not necessary as it shoud be less authoritative than the list under "related charters"
- "related charters" - is it possible to display here some additional informatoin about each charter (e.g. date, granted places, or beginning of text - as in e.g. https://medieval.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/org_141158386 (where origin is shown)
places index records should display county and parish
eg. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/place_102196 should show (affter Place Type)
Parish: Sternfield
County: Suffolk
The purpose of this is to help readers identify places in cases like Newton where the name is common. (For that reason it would also be helpful to have parish and county display on the search results list for names - here is the search result for Newton https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?q=newton )
Currently there is only one entity for a place and parish, where these have the same name. We can discuss if this is correct or desirable to change. Most region[@type='parish']
do not yet have @key
values.
Preview sometimes blank and should be omitted in those cases
The preview is sometimes blank, can it be omitted in those cases (https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Bms_collection_s%5D%5B%5D=Kent&f%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=charter&page=18)
Preview sometimes blank I guess we will need to change how the helper method is built in here
correct errors in image mapping
@irv I wasn't sure if you'd had a chance to fix the mapping problems created by the different numberings of the tiff files in Portfolio / TEI - if you have, feel free to close this, if not, no particular rush
short summaries include (duplicate) seal information
e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Bms_collection_s%5D%5B%5D=D.+D.+Radcliffe&f%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=charter (nos. 486, 228 etc). This only seems to be happening with the summary entries (i.e. where msItem
only contains place and date)
unexpected items in "granted county" filter
This filter includes unidentified places (if not associated with a county) (e.g. Ploufeld) and also regions / places that are not counties (eg. Stafford, archdeanery)
Remove fields from charter summary display
Ideally do not display the fields county/county of origin/ parish/parish of origin (but not a priority if this is complicated)
update collections names on landing page
collection names were updated by 96abefa and are up to date in the collections
filter
Ch. Foreign 11*-98*
seals only: records to be created and populated
When to display search info
I noticed that the search info component is popping up quite a lot and I don't think it would need to.
For instance, when you click on a record directly linked (e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/charter_100017) or when you query without an applied filter (e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?q=pounds).
Before I start working on writing more if or unless clauses I think it would be good to decide when it should show up and when it shouldn't.
I am actually wondering if it would make most sense to only display it on the main page and only if the user hasn't done any filtering or querying.
What do you think @holfordm
titles in bibliography should display in italic
e.g. MS. Ch. Suffolk 747
`
<listBibl><bibl>W. H. Turner and H. O. Coxe, <title>Calendar of charters and rolls preserved in the Bodleian library</title> (Oxford, 1878) [annotated copy, Bodleian Library R.Ref.741],
<citedRange unit="page" from="419" to="419">419</citedRange>
</bibl>
<bibl>J. Gilbert Wiblin, <title>Handlist 339e. Seals (including casts and matrices)</title>, May 1916 (unpublished handlist, Bodleian Library), p. 172v</bibl></listBibl>
<p>This record is based on a calendar prepared in 1878 and some information may be incorrect. References to more recent editions, if available, are provided in the bibliography.

perhaps a CSS issue as the html shows the titles as <span class="title italic">
placenames containing "or" or "and"
e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/place_104596
these should be separated out into separate entries
tidy up place types
in places.xml - some results filtering by place type
look odd
Denholm-Young - missing page references
seal browse broken?
the Seals button links to https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Bms_seals_b%5D%5B%5D=true currently returning error message NoMethodError in Catalog#index
If I manually enter https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=seal it works OK (or does it? the results look different from previous iterations)
text in search box
(1) can the text be more helpful that just "search for charters" (eg. example searches?) question for all of us.
(2) can the text change according to context. e.g. from https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=place it would say something like "search places" from https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Bms_seals_b%5D%5B%5D=true "search seals"
facsimiles of charter slips and other sources
images of charter slips (and other sources used? Turner and Coxe and Denholm-Young) to be hosted and linked to facsimile URLs in TEI records. Requires @tdungate
regnal year dates
For dates which appear only in regnal year form ("14 Nov. 33 Edw. I" etc.), add in parentheses either (where possible) the exact year, or otherwise the range of years.
Update "what is included" text
Use shorter text as supplied by via email
some links to calendar slip images are broken
e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/charter_910048 - unclear why
Some search results display older style summaries and not the whole content preview
Search results (e.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?q=kent+rolls or https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?q=richard+AND+as*well ) are displaying the older style summaries, can these also show the whole content preview?
add links to charters on Digital Bodleian
ordering seals via Aeon
relates to #47
A large number of seals from the charter collection were cut off and are now stored separately from the charters. E.g. https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/charter_105091 MS. Ch. Suffolk 733 is the charter, MS. Ch. Suffolk 733* is the seal.
This potentially complicates the ordering process. A request at the charter_105091 page could trigger requests for both the charter and the seal, which might be easiest but would be inefficient if the reader didn't want to see the seal. Or could there be different buttons? - request charter, request seal, request charter and seal?
To complicate things, one charter may have several seals: https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/catalog/charter_105068
corrigenda
Ch. Yorks. 78 should relate to Leeds Kirkgate manor? https://archive.org/details/b30459242/page/554/mode/1up
Language filter should have "unknown" option
Several cases where language is not recorded in the current record (MS. Ch. London and Middlesex 518 is one example from many), these could be reflect with an unknown/not recorded option in the language filter
Asset routing on live url
summary info on seals browse pages
on the seals browse page https://charters-qa.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/?f%5Bms_seals_b%5D%5B%5D=true in addition to the date of the seal, would it be possible to display other information?
possible logic for what to display would be in this order:
persName or orgName if present - otherwise
legend if present - otherwise
motif (decoNote) if present.
For multiple seals - either display info for each as above (preferable) OR just display number of seals.
pages for collections?
It could be very useful for users to have more information about the history and contents of the various collections as this is not currently easily available anywhere else (information on archives.bodleian is usually very limited). For example there could be a page collections_1 for Bedfordshire, collections_2 for Berkshire and so on (these would be based on TEI records /collections_1 either inside the collections folder or in a new folder). Charter records could link to these using @key
on the collection
element. <collection key="collection_xxx">Miscellaneous</collection>
. Links from the landing page could then point to these pages and/or there could be a new "collections" browse button. (If there was a collections browse button the landing page could show more basic information about the contents of the catalogue rather as archives.bodleian does).
Sample collection page bc2d41a
Does any of this seem sensible - how easy/difficult would it be to implement - should we wait until user testing to see if it would be a high priority for users?
add keys to parishes in places.xml
Add @key
to region[type=parish]
- new authority records will need to be created for the numerous parishes (e.g. Brewood) which do not currently exist in their own right - this should be done programmatically
