Wikilinks in FromThePage

March 14, 2014 by Ben Brumfield

From March 10-12, I got to participate in the iDigBio Original Sources Digitization Workshop, a gathering of natural history collections managers, archivists, and technologists. Although the focus of digitization within natural history has been on specimens or specimen labels, this workshop sought to address the challenges and opportunities involved in digitizing ledgers, field … [Read more...] about Wikilinks in FromThePage

Feature: TEI-XML Export

October 25, 2013 by Ben Brumfield

While editing and annotating Julia Brumfield's 1919 diary, I've tried to do research on the people who appear there. Who was Josie Carr's sister? Sites like FindAGrave.com can help, but the results may still be ambiguous: there are two Alice Woodings buried in the area, and either could be a match.

Feature: Full Text Search/Article Link integration

April 5, 2009 by Ben Brumfield

In the last couple of weeks, I've implemented most of the features in the editorial toolkit. Scribes can identify unannotated pages from the table of contents, readers can peruse all pages in a collection linked to a subject, and users can perform a full text search. I'd like to describe the full text search in some detail, since there are some really interesting things you … [Read more...] about Feature: Full Text Search/Article Link integration
