ECOLM - An Electronic Corpus of Lute Music
The database
Sources
This is, perhaps, the most straightforward entity in the database. Where possible, for prints,
one instance is used (and its library location given). The main Sources table is set
up as follows:
| Source ID | integer | Auto-increment-generated primary key |
| Source Type | string | Manuscript (MS), print, Binding Strips, etc. |
| Source Format | string | eg. Lutebook |
| Source Material | string | e.g. paper |
| Source Pagecount | integer | |
| Source Pagetype | string | Refers to pagination method - folio, page, gathering, etc. |
| Source Width | float | In mm. Could probably be an integer instead |
| Source Height | float | In mm. Could probably be an integer instead |
| Source Binding | text | Any info. Unstructured |
| Source Title | text | As it appears in source. Slashes for line breaks. |
| Source Subtitle | text | Just in case. Currently empty. Perhaps unnecessary |
| Source Location | string | As close to standard RISM as possible. Prints should give library sigla then shelfmark |
| Source Comments | text | Any info. Unstructured |
