[osis-core] Example of work

[Patrick Durusau]

Guys,

Gary Edwards sent me some very good comments on the users manual which I 
  am working through at the moment.

On osisWork we have the example:

<![CDATA[
<work osisWork="EG">
     <title>Egyptian Grammar</title>
     <creator role="aut">Alan Gardiner</creator>
     <contributor role="dte">Francis Llewellyn Griffith</contributor>
     <date event="original" type="gregorian">1927</date>
     <date event="eversion" type="gregorian">2003</date>
     <type type="x-grammar">Grammar</type>
     <publisher>Griffith Institute, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford</publisher>
     <language type="ISO-639">EN</language>
     <language type="Ethnologue">EG-ancient</language>
     <identifier type="ISBN">0900416351</identifier>
     <identifier type="LCCN">95230980</identifer>
</work>
]]>

Gary points out:

1. Confusing since the osisWork attribute has "EG" which is the same as 
the first part of the Ethnologue code. Note we refer to it being a 
prefix, yikes, the Ethnologue folks use it like a prefix. Hmmm, bad joss.

Suggestion:

EG on osisWork becomes Gardiner1927 (he published a lot of stuff)

Add both osisID and osisRefs that use the Gardiner1927 prefix, something 
like, "While elsewhere in the text you may see.... and put in uses of 
osisID and osisRef using this work. (I have a copy of this within arm's 
reach so I can put in some passages.)

Well, while we are at it, do the same for the Cotton Patch Gospels. But 
there keep the CPG as a different example of the osisWork attribute value.

Does anybody have a copy of the Cotton Patch Gospels handy? I have a 
copy somewhere and if I every get the shelves built in my office I may 
be able to get organized again.

If you do, please throw together osisID and osisRefs to particular 
passages. A short part of a passage would not hurt. The manual is fairly 
dull reading and some good writing would probably be a welcome break.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
