This page contains thoughts, proposals, and experiments related to the Scribe workflow design for the NYC Marriage License Application registers.

Matt LaFlash proposal

Page -- Is there info to transcribe (Yes/No -- pickOne) (ANZAC)
    If Yes, is the image an index of Brides or Grooms (Bride/Groom -- pickOne) (ANZAC)
    If No, next image.

Mark Records -- Name (Surname, Given Name(s) -- Composite) (EmigrantCity)
   -- Citation (Volume, Page, Number -- Composite) (EmigrantCity)
   -- Date  (Month, Day, Year -- Composite) (EmigrantCity)

Is there anything else to mark? -- (Yes/No -- pickOne) (ANZAC)

Questions

  • How do we handle dittos? Preliminary position (Ben/Tom) to transcribe as is and normalize in post processing.
  • Do we want to separate volumes by borough or borough & year into collections that volunteers can choose to work on separately? See for example Old Weather ship voyages or Science Gossip magazines. (Tom thinks so)
  • What classes of unusual stuff do we want to handle separately from the "anything else" catchall? Examples might include "No Return", "Dup", empty page, unreadable/bad page
