<div dir="auto">I had attempted to Reply to an email from the listserve with screenshots, but<br />
then realized it is most probably text only, so here is a text version...<br />
<br />
1. This is a sample from my .csv file; UTF-8 with BOM<br />
<br />
PRINCIPAL_PARTS_NO_DIACRITICALS,PRINCIPAL_PARTS,SHORT_DEFINITION,LONG_DEFINITION,SIMPLE_LEMMA,PART_OF_SPEECH<br />

<br />
2. I imported as follows:<br />
Lemma::ppnd to column 1 PRINCIPAL_PARTS_NO_DIACRITICALS - custom field<br />
Lemma::pp to column 2 PRINCIPAL_PARTS - custom field<br />
Lemma::Sense::TE::TE to column 3 SHORT_DEFINITION<br />
Lemma::Sense::Definition::Definition to column 4 LONG_DEFINITION<br />
Lemma::LemmaSign to column 5 SIMPLE_LEMMA<br />
Lemma::PartOfSpeech to column 6 PART_OF_SPEECH<br />
<br />
3. Got warnings after import of the type:<br />
"WARNING: Rescuing potentially discarded LIST ITEM at Column 6:Verb"<br />
for each row in the csv file.<br />
The text value from the csv file wasn't somehow merged with the check-box<br />
part of speech items. This is the problem.<br />
<br />
4. The first 5 fields were populated correctly in my TLex database. For the values in the<br />
6th column, a new field was created, named Column6ListVal under Sense, and these were<br />
imported correctly.<br />
<br />
All of this is just a start to my understanding how to create a custom DTD for the<br />
data I already have in spreadsheets. Any pointers on more details on how to create a<br />
custom DTD schema would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />
