Hello EAD listserv, I'm finally beginning the process of both converting Duke's Special Collections finding aids from 1.0 to 2002 and setting up XMetaL (our encoding software) for encoding "from scratch" in 2002. I've got all the files in the right places, but when I try to parse a 2002 instance against the DTD, I get the following error message: "Error on line 1010 of ./dtds/ead.dtd: NOTATION redeclared. The notation name "sgml" has already been defined." Line 1010 of the dtd is part of the following declaration from section F on notation declarations: 1006: <!NOTATION sgml PUBLIC 1007: 'ISO 8879:1986//NOTATION Information processing - Text and office 1008: systems - Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)//EN' 1009: '' 1010: I'm using XMetaL v. 3.0. Has anyone else had this error and solved it? Thanks, Ruth _______________________________ Ruth Bryan Archivist/Manuscript Cataloger Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library Duke University (919) 660-5982 [log in to unmask]
