  15. The Projects Highlights and new features from 2013

  16. PFA (Persepolis Fortification Archive) • Comprehensive server reorganization • All images migrated (roughly 40TB) • From old hardware supported by Humanities • To new hardware supported by the DLDC • First step: find all the files on the old server • Next step: move all the files to the new server • Now we can backup all the files • And access all the files via OCHRE • And add new files via OCHRE

  17. PFA • Integrated photographers’ interface • Every image in its place • Every image available to view right away

  18. PFA - photography Find the text to be photographed Inspect existing photographs Add new photographs

  19. Name the photograph, OCHRE enforces naming conventions • Copy an image to a server • Access image metadata • Save to make the photo available

  20. Best practice for project organization • PFA has 3 hi res photo stations • Conventional photos • Various post-processing editors • All can work simultaneously • Everything remains organized

  21. PFA – font • New cuneiform Elamite font designed by Tytus Mikołajczak

  22. PFA – text analysis • Link words to dictionary • Parse words • Add other metadata • Add notes • All OCHRE projects gain from core innovations • New tools for analyzing texts

  23. RSTI (Ras Shamra Tablet Inventory) • RSTI as a testing ground for new features • Lexicography, Prosopography and Gazetteer tools

  24. Lexicography • “Wizards” • Lexicography • Parsing • Prosopography • Gazetteer

  25. Match against dictionary • Choose from pick list of options • Parse now or later • Immediately populates the glossary

  26. Define personal names

  27. Prosopography • Analyze every personal name in every text • Identify and define actors in texts • Historical actors • Literary characters • Build dossiers or character studies • Trace biological and social relationships

  28. Gazetteer • Identify every geographic name in every text • Add meaningful properties as needed • Add global coordinates if you have them • “Fly” to the location in Google Earth

  29. Identify and define place names • Add details like coordinates

  30. From data to publication • Save a recomposed view of a text as a publication quality document • A text comes full circle • Original document in Word • Import and atomize as data • Recompose as an enriched, saved view • Move toward a “born digital” approach?

  31. Atomized text • Recomposed view

  32. Saved view as PDF • One text generated 36 pages of notes, transliteration, translation, and plates

  33. eCHD (electronic Chicago Hittite Dictionary) • Free online bibliography • API integration • No need to recreate in OCHRE • Zotero integration implemented

  34. Query Zotero from OCHRE • Browse results in OCHRE

  35. Insert the Zotero item into OCHRE if needed

  36. eCHD • Text and dictionary query innovations

  37. Allows particular parts of the dictionary article to be searched Allows for x amount of intervening words between the search criteria; also allows the user to search for any combination of the criteria or the order entered User generated search criteria

  38. Multiple queries: allow for searching of multiple categories Allows multiple instances of one category to be added/deleted Shows the order of the multiple categories being searched

  39. The numbers here (“1”, “2”, “4”) represent the number of occurrences of each separate query Search criteria: here tab 1 is for “sheep slaughter,” tab 2 is “bull slaughter,” and tab 3 is “goat slaughter” These are the overall results for an “OR” search

  40. Allows for nested items (subcategories) to be searched. Here, “preterit” is selected Categories for morphological search (verbs)

  41. Results of morphological search Changes result display Default return is an alphabetized list of attested forms (lemma form is in brackets) Outline layout groups by lemma form

  42. eCHD – font conversion • Convert from non-Unicode to Unicode standard • Appropriate for database use
