attributes lost on name[type='corporate'] about medieval-mss HOT 10 CLOSED

Yeah, same problem as the persName issue, with the same question. I'll treat them alike.

Ok, this is done in my script. I notice a related issue where there are lots of <persName> inside <name type="corporate">. I've not found one yet that I would call a person. Am I right that these should just disappear?
i.e.

<name type="corporate" role="formerOwner"><persName>Merton College</persName></name>

become

<orgName role="formerOwner">Merton College</name>

Should I be getting rid of persName inside author? Most of the time there is only a persName (if there is one) in 7 cases it is also got another element there (often title.... which seems weird to me) i.e.

<author ref="http://viaf.org/viaf/99942145">
       <persName>Livy</persName>
       <title>Ab urbe condita</title>
 </author>

Should I try to move title outside of author? i.e.

<author ref="http://viaf.org/viaf/99942145">Livy</author>
<title>Ab urbe condita</title>

Easy enough to add to the conversion a rule for author elements that have a title that moves it outside, and a rule for title elements inside author elements that makes them (otherwise) vanish. So no worries... just wanted to check it was the right thing to do.

Might be worth me double checking in case there are other elements in there as well? e.g. note?

from medieval-mss.

Notes inside author don't really bother me.... but titles inside author are just nonsensical in my opinion. So I'm running the conversion again with that updated and hopefully the persName and orgName things straightened out.

I believe this is done, so I'm closing it. re-open if it is still a problem.
