Questions for Zotero Workshop at First THATCamp

I'm heading to my first THATCamp on Friday (woot!), and I plan to attend the Zotero workshop. After a few failed attempts, I managed to get the Firefox add-on installed and I've added a few entries. Now the questions begin... I'll be updating this post throughout the week and then (hopefully) adding answers during or after the workshop.

- If I want to enter the Companion to Digital Humanities, should I enter each chapter separately or the work as a whole? (I vaguely remember seeing something about a parent/child relationship between resources; maybe this is the answer).

- Do I need to capture a snapshot of every webpage and blog post if I want to view it offline?

- What is the difference between the first and second levels in the center panel? Each item I have saved so far (all blog posts) has been created this way.

- Is there any way to blog directly from Zotero?

-There has to be a better way to import the PDF of a paper than what I did for the "Translation, Style, and Ideology" paper - what is it?

Questions Concerning A Companion to Digital Humanities

Ch. 8: Literary Studies

1. In his first paragraph, Thomas Rommel states that "the analysis of literature is traditional seen as a subjective procedure." Is this true? If so, is digital humanities the only way to incorporate empirical evidence?
2. Rommel poses an intriguing question that he never answers: What does it mean to collect empirical evidence with regard to a literary text? Where can I look for the answer to this question?
3. Is Rommel as pessimistic about the potential of literary computing as he seems to be? Is there general agreement on the statement that literary computing "has yet to add anything to the traditional study of literature? (Also see McGann)
4. Rommel states that "the question of 'method' remains at the heart of most electronic analysis of literature." What does Rommel mean by 'method'?

Ch. 14: Classification and its Structures

1. Why does Sperberg-McQueen remain so theoretical in his discussion of classification? Wouldn't it be more helpful to give examples or to explain how to apply the methods of classification he describes?

Ch. 16: Marking Texts of Many Dimensions

1. Jerome McGann describes the process of digitizing text as 'translating.' What conclusions can be drawn from McGann's use of the word translating to describe the process of digitizing text, or from the similar way in which translators and digital humanists characterize their practices as more careful than others who engage with texts?
2. Like Rommel, McGann seems skeptical about the potential for tagging because it only addresses the linguistic dimension of a text. He goes so far as to say that "... computer markup as currently imagined handicaps or even baffles altogether our moves to engage with the well-known dynamic functions of textual works." How valid is his criticism?

Ch. 18: Electronic Texts - Audiences and Purposes

1. Willett's chapter suffers drastically from its age. What is the standard for relevant (current) research in digital humanities?
2. Willett calls the question about how the computer can "aid in literary criticism" unresolved. Do we have a better idea about the answer now than we did in 2004?
