Thanks to all who have replied (off list, I think) to my query about linguistic mapping of Middle English MSS.
Dan O'Donnell asked for a sample of the markup. The DIMEV is an xml-based project. I haven't added mapping information as yet, but here is a straightforward example of the MS file with the <lang> entry:
<item xml:id="PhilUPEng8"> <loc>Philadelphia</loc> <repos>University of Pennsylvania</repos> <desc>MS Codex 218 [formerly Eng. 8; <i>olim</i> Stonor Park]</desc> <lang><biblio key="LALME">LALME</biblio> LP 559 (<place country="England" county="Isle of Ely">Ely</place>: Hand A, ff. 1-146v); LP 551 (<place country="England" county="Lincolnshire">Lincs</place>: Hand B, ff. 147-195v)</lang> </item>
The LALME and LAEME keys are linked to full entries in the bibliography. I'm waiting for my coder to fit some time in for the style-sheet updates for this information.
Since I haven't, as yet, constructed a tagging structure for the mapping coordinates, I'm happy to have suggestions. Dan mentioned KML and Google maps, and that might be an easy way to proceed.

Dan Mosser -
I want to second the other Dan's request. I've toyed around with aggregating IMEV and LALME data for fully-digitized manuscripts, and also discussed using Google maps (with varying degrees of location specificity) for those entries with some people here on campus. Originally, I had high hopes for aggregating data from Edinburgh's e-LALME site, which had promised a release last year. The project seems to still be delayed, unfortunately, otherwise one could use proper xml ID's for LPs and avoid duplicating large amounts of work.
Kind regards, Matthew
