I read the article
"What is xml and why should humanities care" to understand and critically evaluate the use of XML in digital humanities, and more closely - why it should matter in our own research. The article makes a compelling argument that XML allows one to model and structure the semantics of a document. It is not a tool to design, but instead is a tool to make documents comprehensible. Unlike HTML which is designed to display data, XML is made to focus on what the data is. They are not predefined unlike HTML, but allow the writer of the document flexibility to invent data.

- note (changing) conditions in the room
- note temperature of ingredients to be processed (e.g. cold from fridge, room temperature etc.)
- document materials, equipment, and processes in writing and with photographs
- notes on ingredients and equipment (where did you get them? issues of authenticity)
- note precisely the scales and temperatures you used (please indicate how you interpreted imprecise recipe instruction)
