Introduction TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) is an international standard for digitally structuring texts in the humanities. It is used in libraries, museums, and academic research, but writing TEI/XML directly requires knowledge of markup, making the barrier to entry high. This is where conversion tools from Microsoft Word (.docx) to TEI/XML come in. A well-known example is TEI Garage (formerly OxGarage), but its multi-purpose nature makes the UI somewhat complex. This time, I created a simple browser-based tool specialized for DOCX to TEI/XML conversion. ...

When you want to bulk unpublish old articles after migrating your Hatena Blog articles to another site. Important Note: You Cannot Revert to Draft With the Hatena Blog AtomPub API, you cannot revert published articles back to draft. Sending <app:draft>yes</app:draft> via a PUT request results in a 400 Cannot Change into Draft error. Therefore, there are two approaches: Method 1: Replace the Article Body with “This Article Has Moved” You can rewrite the article’s <content> using the AtomPub API’s PUT method. ...

Introduction Hypothes.is is an open-source annotation tool that allows you to add highlights and comments on web pages. It can be easily used through browser extensions or JavaScript embedding, but there are cases where you may want to back up accumulated annotations or utilize them in other formats such as TEI/XML. This article introduces how to export annotations using the Hypothes.is API and convert them to TEI/XML. Obtaining an API Key Log in to Hypothes.is Go to Developer settings Generate an API key with “Generate your API token” Save the obtained key in a .env file. ...

Introduction In the OpenITI (Open Islamicate Texts Initiative) project, which handles historical texts from the Islamicate world, texts can be tagged using a lightweight notation called mARkdown instead of TEI/XML. While TEI/XML is a powerful international standard for structuring texts, it has problems with right-to-left (RTL) languages like Arabic, where mixing XML tags causes display issues in editors. mARkdown was designed to solve this problem. In this article, we will try running oitei, a Python tool that automatically converts mARkdown texts to TEI XML. ...

Introduction I created a Japanese tutorial for ethers.js, a JavaScript library for Ethereum. https://github.com/nakamura196/ethers-ja-tutorial It is also published as a static site using VitePress. https://nakamura196.github.io/ethers-ja-tutorial/ Background ethers.js is one of the most widely used libraries in Ethereum development. Japanese articles about v6 were mostly focused on migration guides from v5, and there was no systematic tutorial for beginners to learn from scratch. Since the official documentation is only available in English, I created a tutorial that allows learners to study the basics step by step in Japanese. ...

Introduction One day, I noticed that annotations could no longer be created at all in a IIIF annotation editor deployed on Vercel. It worked correctly on the local development server, but in the production environment, drawing mode could not be entered. There were no console errors. The UI buttons switched correctly, but dragging on the image did nothing. The cause was an automatic upgrade of Annotorious due to caret (^) specification in package.json, and a state management library migration in v3.7.13 that caused issues with webpack’s production build. ...

Many organizations regularly rotate Google Groups members. Manual registration and deletion is tedious, so you would want to automate it via API. The Admin SDK (Directory API) is commonly introduced as a method for managing Google Groups members via API. However, the Admin SDK requires Google Workspace admin privileges, limiting the situations where it can be used. This article introduces how to bulk manage Google Groups members using the Cloud Identity Groups API, which can be used even without admin privileges. ...

Background Mirador is an IIIF-compatible image viewer that allows side-by-side comparison of multiple IIIF manifests. When displaying manifests published by multiple institutions in a single view, each window title shows the manifest’s label as-is. However, there are cases where you want to display a custom name as the window title for your own project. For example, when the manifest’s label is a long string containing individual volume information, but you want to display a short name indicating the collection. ...

I adapted the SPARQL Explorer “Snorql,” originally built for Virtuoso / Dydra, to work with Apache Jena Fuseki. While SPARQL is a W3C standard, the behavioral differences between endpoint implementations can be surprisingly large. Here I document the three issues I encountered during Fuseki adaptation and their solutions. Development Environment I started Fuseki with Docker and tested locally. # s e o d r f l f o v u u u c i s i c p e m s k c e m o o n o e e e e k a n r - v - - l - s k r s i g t t i u : i - : : e a s " r A F m f - c : i : 3 o D U e u d o n 0 n M S s s a m s e 3 m I E : e t p t r 0 e N K k a o a _ : n _ I i : s i n 3 t P _ - e n a 0 : A D d . / m 3 S A a y j e 0 S T t m e : " W A a l n O S : a f R E / - u D T f f s = _ u u e a 1 s s k d = e e i m t k k i e i i n s t d # c o u c L r - k o l H - e a d r d - ' a X C t c t o a o e P n - m s O t b p t S e i o T n n s d t a e a ' - r t h T y u a t y p t p @ p e t - : : e d / s / t t l e d o x a c t t a / a l t . h u t o r t s t l t l : e 3 ' 0 3 0 / t e s t / d a t a ' 1.
