Subject: XPentateuch (.01) release

Greetings,

Just a short note to announce the release of XPentateuch (.01). The release
consists of the King James and Vulgate versions of the Pentateuch encoded
at the
word level in XML markup with a container element surrounding each "book" as a
corpus of words. Each word bears a unique ID to facilitate the addition of
annotations to the text or for imposing verse/chapter or other divisions
onto these
materials. These should not be considered canonical versions of either text and
should be used for experimental purposes only. (Please see the Readme file for
further information.)

I hope to include examples with future releases of this material, including
demonstrations of constructing XML documents using XLinks and XSL
stylesheets for
transforming as well as displaying the text for various purposes. All
contributions
of XLink/XSL materials will be acknowledged in the Readme file as well as
in any
future release announcements. The distribution is available at:
ftp://shemesh.scholar.emory.edu/pub/XPentateuch.tar.gz

The file XPentateuch.tar.gz consists of:

Long-time readers of this list may remember various queries I've made in the past relating to nuclear imagery in popular culture. I've now created a Web site containing the results, located at <http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/nukepop/>. I'll be polishing it further, but the contents are pretty well set.
