propnouns-editing

This is a rough flow-diagram of some of the editing tasks in prop-nouns, that is, a specification for the programmers. More to be added later.

User documentation will be separate.

Flow overview

Part 1: create and display edit form:

• extract form content (classification list for menu, other coll-specific info)

Part 2: parse form upon submition:

• parse request parameters
• create update script
• run update
• return a receipt document (contains an update status, ie the result: error message or ok message/updated record)

Flow details

• present first form (sem cat, lang, term) = termc-form
• submit form when:
  • the user selects lang if term ≠ 0
  • the user press submit
• create center entry:
  • check whether it exists:
    • ask user?
    • add index automatically? (e.g. Kárásjohka and Kárásjohka#1)
• return info for lang-spec form
• present lang-spec. form for details:
  • menu for changing language -> if changed, submit form, and re-display it with
• updated infl/etc. options based on lang. selection (no updates to the db)
  • infl
  • lemma (default: same as termc ID)
  • stem (default: same as lemma)
  • der
