Re: [jats-list] JATS Tag for interviews

["Wendell Piez wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
