Hi Dulip and Wendel,

In regard to capturing times, or complete timestamps, within the flow of
content it might be useful to look at using the <string-date> element, which
can hold an xs:date / ISO-8601 date value or timestamp in an attribute.
Currently you would need to extend JATS to be able to use string-date in
paragraph text or other places. I logged a comment to allow string-date in
more places in the standard JATS DTDs:

http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/view_comment.php?comment_id=516

The comment was closed without action, so I think that if there are examples
of real world uses there might be more interest in making this change. Given
the similarity between string-date and HTML5's time element there could be
more use cases waiting to be discovered.

Vincent

Hi,

I agree that 'speaker' and 'speech' are a good place to start, for purposes of
transcribing interviews.

I also think that it is likely that, especially if the interviews have already
been captured (in another format e.g. Word) and even if not, there is likely
to be a fair amount of "formal" information that could be usefully captured
(metadata of various sorts and even structure), which JATS does not explicitly
have tags for.

To a great extent this gap -- to the extent you wish to cross it (enriching
the XML for intelligent use/reusse) -- might be addressed by business rules
applying to JATS elements such as 'sec' and 'sec-meta'. But I also think that
you may have to be prepared, if you really wish to enrich the XML, to extend
JATS (if only a little) with custom features and structures. (It Depends.)

(Just for example, many interviews have date/time stamps. How can be best
capture those in JATS?)

Probably there are more TEI projects that have captured interviews, oral
histories and the like than JATS -- but they have inevitably faced the same
issue, since there's also undoubtedly considerable variation across projects.
TEI even has a model -- see
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/TS.html -- which could be
examined at least for comparison purposes. (Or is that rude to say here?)

Rumor has it the new BITS will have a Question/Answer model, but I think
that's a different can of bees from interviews.

Cheers, Wendell
