XQuery to create CMIF correspondence metadata from a collection of TEI/XML files

README for qhodCMIFxquery

Example for creating CMIF from existing collection by means of XQuery.

The CMIF schema is used for correspondence metadata, maintained at https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/CMIF in a subset of the https://tei-c.org Guidelines. The original purpose of CMIF is to exchange metadata e.g. for aggregation and search purposes such as https://correspsearch.net.

• getCMIF.xquery has been quickly put together during the 2022 TEI Conference https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/tei2022 Correspondence SIG to extract correspAction elements and their origins from the QhoD project available at http://qhod.net. Some postprocessing may be necessary to achieve conformity with the schema.

• QhoDCMIF.xml is the manually redacted result of applying the above XQuery to the letterlike material available through https://qhod.net at the time (2022-09-14).
