If you like, you can take a close look at [his LMNL code of Frankenstein](https://github.com/wendellpiez/Luminescent/blob/master/lmnl/frankenstein-as-published.lmnl) on GitHub. \r\n*Special note of interest:* Gabi Kirilloff was a student in [a digital humanities course at Pitt like the one you are taking](http://dh.obdurodon.org), and she originally wrote &lt;Traversing_the_Tree/&gt; for a seminar paper assignment in another class. \r\n\r\n### The discussion prompts:\r\n* What perspective does Kirilloff provide on the kinds of XML markup we are learning, the history and context of hierarchical markup, and its potential issues?\r\n* Consider the examples of overlapping hierarchies that Kirilloff and Piez present to us: Which of these did you find especially interesting? \r\n* What ideas do Kirilloff or Piez present for how to deal with these in code, and how effective might these be? Is it possible to write XML to get around the problems raised in these pieces? \r\n\r\nThe discussion is worth points to you as a homework exercise. For full credit, your posts should make specific reference to passages in Kirilloff's essay, and reflect on those passages. **Note:** You (as an individual) do not have to respond to every one of the discussion prompts, but the class as a whole should cover them all. A good strategy would be to try to respond in some way to at least two of the prompts in the list above. Raising questions is encouraged, and so is responding to each other, but responding should do more than simply say, \"yes, I agree.\" A good response will add something new to the conversation, or help promote more discussion. You should make **at least two substantial posts** to fully contribute to the discussion.\r\n\r\nAs you're drafting your comments, see if you can apply \"Markdown\" formatting if you'd like to use bold or italics or make a list, form a link, add an image, etc. Follow the link to \"Markdown supported\" at the top right of the comment \"Write\" screen for an orientation to Github's markdown. \r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ebeshero/DHClass-Hub/issues/comments/141589829","html_url":"https://github.com/ebeshero/DHClass-Hub/issues/10#issuecomment-141589829","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ebeshero/DHClass-Hub/issues/10","id":141589829,"user":{"login":"ebeshero","id":4014518,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4014518?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero","html_url":"https://github.com/ebeshero","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ebeshero/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-18T23:03:03Z","updated_at":"2015-09-18T23:03:03Z","body":"@wendellpiez Thanks for responding, Wendell! I like your idea that we might think of our code as a \"lens\": we *see* a text differently based on what we decide to mark. We're experimenting this weekend with TEI encoding, after we've been coding and rolling our own XML and schemas for the first few weeks. Working in the big TEI consortium's rule set and consulting the guidelines is its own experience of constraint and hierarchy, but also offers some lenses and possibilities--one can learn a lot by peering through the TEI's collection of lenses. And it's interesting to think of things we could model differently by making our own lenses. We didn't get much of a chance at the start of our class to look closely at LMNL markup to see how it works, but it would be neat to take a look at how it helps us to look at overlaps, and how it helps visualize documents.
