model for person

[jescalin]

Clicking on people in the family tree should take the user to a page like:

/dusenbery/family/name/PERSONNAME

which should query the DB for all encoded documents matching PERSONNAME.

See Word docs in "P:\docsouth\Dusenbery\modules\Family". Links to individual objects should open a viewer like the main journal viewer. Everything has a page image and has been encoded.

These should actually be in the DocSouth database. Find the right glue to push/pull from that, please.

Have a look at http://docsouth.unc.edu/unc/browse/person.html

We want browsing by Personal Names, Place Names, Event, Organization, and Publication at a minimum.

We also need to get some updated data into the DocSouth database, for example when new death dates became available.

Three kinds of names: (1) people with no biography. These are in the XML, encoded as names. (2) people with biographies who are already in the DocSouth database and have information that needs to be updated. (3) People who are not in the database yet and have biographies.

Updating people in the docsouth database:

1. People who are new to the docsouth database who have biographies. Their names/unique ids/bios are in an xml document here: P:\docsouth\Dusenbery\bios\finished\dus_name_new_bios.xml
2. People who are already in the database but who have new/updated biographical information as of this project. Their names/unique ids/bios are in an xml document here: P:\docsouth\Dusenbery\bios\finished\dus_name_revised_bios.xml
3. There is also one new place that has a biography attached to it. Its name/unique id/bio is in an xml document here: P:\docsouth\Dusenbery\bios\finished\dus_place_bio.xml
4. There are also people who are new to our database but who have no biographies. The names and ids of these people without bios will also need to be loaded into the database. Their names and unique ids are collected in a spreadsheet, not an xml document. This spreadsheet also contains the names and ids of the people who appear in the bio xml documents (items 1-3). If you need me to make a separate spreadsheet of only the non-bio people (without the names appearing in the xml documents in items 1-3), just let me know.

The total number of new names to be loaded into the database is 789. That includes people with biographies and people without them.
