Meaning of identifiers
For the purpose of this research, Het Koninkrijk has been subdivided
hierarchically, as follows,
and each element of the hierarchy has been given a unique identifier.
The XML snippet corresponding to each element/identifier can be obtaines via:
http://resolver.loedejongdigitaal.nl/<id>
where <id> is the identifier.
- The highest level of organisation is the volume.
In the case of a logical volume consisting of multiple subvolumes,
these subvolumes are what we consider the volumes
and the logical volumes are not represented in the hierarchy.
A volume has the XML tag
vk:book
and occurs as a child element of a root element
(which also contains Dublin Core metadata).
- Below the level of volumes are elements with XML tags
vk:index
(table of contents),
vk:chapter
(chapter of main text),
vk:appendix
,
vk:foreword
,
vk:corrections
,
vk:statement
,
and
vk:backofbook
(the inverted index in the book).
The final two only occur once each;
vk:backofbook
is the main body
of the final volume of Het Koninkrijk.
- Below
vk:chapter
are elements of type
vk:section
,
sometimes (but not always) containing
vk:subsection
elements.
- The actual text is contained in elements of type
vk:p
(paragraph).
These may in turn contain
vk:footer
(footnotes),
vk:page
(pagebreaks) and
vk:header
elements.
Footnotes have been moved to within the paragraph that refers to them
rather than near the page break where they occurred in the original text.
Each of these element types has an identifier attribute @vk:id,
which reflects the hierarchical structure.
Each identifier consists of the prefix nl.vk.d.,
followed by a point-separated list of numbers denoting
book, chapter, section, paragraph.
E.g., in Volume 11b, second half, we find a footnote with the identifier:
nl.vk.d.11a-2.2.1.2.6.6
meaning
- 11a-2
- Volume 11a, second subvolume's vk:book
(regarded as a single identifier part; the separator is ., not -).
- 2
- Chapter Het gouvernement en de nationalisten, the second element
below vk:book.
The tenth chapter in De Jong's scheme;
this is not reflected in the identifier but in a separate attribute.
- 1
- First vk:section
(untitled, as the first section of a chapter always is).
- 1
- First vk:subsection.
- 6
- Sixth paragraph (vk:p).
- 6
- The actual footnote.
