Shoebox to Kirrrkirr

[Burgman]

  Hi there

  I am trying to work out a way to export the materials developed in Shoebox to Kirrkirr and have hit a dead end.

  I am doing the test run with Warnman. I have got the Shoebox database material into simple text and then onto XML. I have set up the dictionary properties file. I used the Warlpiri specs file as a basis for the Warnman one, and the Warlpiri xsl file as a basis for the Warnman one.

  Because the Shoebox exports uses different headings such as <database> instead of <DICTIONARY>, <lxGroup> instead of <ENTRY> and <lx> instead of <HW>, I thought I could just substitute these in the Warlpiri example.That is, instead of <DICTIONARY_ENTRY_XPATH>/DICTIONARY/ENTRY</DICTIONARY_ENTRY_XPATH>, I put <DICTIONARY_ENTRY_XPATH>/database/lxGroup</DICTIONARY_ENTRY_XPATH>, and so on.I did this for both the specs and the xsl files. Still, I couldn't get it to run.

  Is there a problem with the way I am setting up the file paths, or should I be looking esewhere, such as homonyms not marked uniquely in the original database?

  Thanks to anyone with an answer.
