Description
Agenda
- Dealing with the BOM in Excel-created UTF-8 CSVs with Python3
- Exploring an event-style database system for manuscript studies
Notes
- After the meeting, I found this informative discussion of the origin of the (non-standard) UTF-8 BOM and Python's handling of it: https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#encodings-and-unicode
- Also wanted to preserve this link relevant to the time-oriented database discussion: http://web.archive.org/web/20130512072950/http://www.cs.arizona.edu/people/rts/tdbbook.pdf
