TAPAS presentation
- New site! Launched in beta form a few weeks ago, coming out of beta soon.
- You can view projects, collections, and records
- Based partially on the TEI boilerplate - nicely formatted, based partially on markup
- Different view and stylesheet options, metadata available, associated files
- Other stream is as a contributor - anyone with an account can upload tei, metadata, configure records, projects, collections
- search is still in process, but getting there
- We want to add visualization and analysis tools in the future
- What is a useful view of all records? Adding list and grid options, toggle-able
Community side of TAPAS:
- User forums, for people to talk about tech issues and encoding issues.
- Working groups: shared research/interest - get forums but also get projects, or assist in developing grant proposals, etc
- TAPAS Learn: data clinics, workshops, themed events (like when new features are released)
- Components get put together - drupal, theme, hydra, fedora, eXist, handles XML parsing, getting all those pieces to politely communicate is one of the biggest challenges.
- Many architectural similarities between things like this and SHARP
- Difference between toolkit and drupal: both content management systems, wordpress is plug and play, drupal is meant to have a developer, it's more of a kit or framework than a premade system.
- Beta was received very pleasantly - positive tweets, retweets.
Bahare is back from her conference.
- It was in Vermont Northeast Arc User group.
- GIS in humanities education is a pretty hot topic.
- Cool presentation - book called "Abstract Machine - Humanities GIS"
- Presenter talked about how we can map emotional patterns.
- Also went to some technical workshops
New software that may displace neatline - Story Maps, which is free
- What is the status of Story Maps - what does Esri do to keep it alive (scholarly permanence)
- May eventually be offered as part of our GIS services.
Snellebration debrief- we want to be a little more gripping
- Maybe collab with archive in the future? Add things that are contributable, but still substantive.
Podio -
- 64 people over the semester for consults
- We can now link consults to projects.
- What is a workshop vs. a class or consult? It mostly has to do with whether it was open to the public or not.
