Range of fixes need to be made throughout (I've already made some of the changes myself, but I did not identify every instance if there was a pattern of common errors):

  1. Remember to include yourself for authorship purposes.
  2. Every line of a transcription needs to start with an <lb> element with an @n attribute indicating the line number, even if it's a one-line inscription.
  3. The capitalization and punctuation of different sections of the files need to be addressed. Remember that for most short metadata descriptions, the preference is no capitalization (except for proper nouns or adjectives derived from proper nouns) and no punctuation. For commentary and translation, follow standard rules of capitalization/punctuation.
  4. One could add further semantic markup to the transcriptions (e.g. marking up names and the like), though that would be an enhancement rather than a requisite.

Remember to include yourself on the author line when you are the initial author of a file.

Do not capitalize beginnings of free text descriptions, and do not include periods at the end of single sentences as here.
