Major release v22.2 includes a new feature allowing collaborative metadata creation/revision, internationalization support for metadata, and workflow improvements for volunteers and project managers.

User Enhancements

  • Projects may now support user creation of item-level metadata, allowing project owners to configure fields to be presented to users on a form, and letting users create metadata while viewing images, text, and imported metadata. This may be part of the transcription process, or done independently with no transcription at all.
  • Uploading metadata CSV now allows batch renaming of work titles
  • Project owner confguring metadata facets may specify language-specific metadata labels
  • Project owners may move all works (or just works of a particular status) from one document set to another en masse.
  • Project owners may now bulk export from a single document set.
  • Collection statistics now show the number of records or text lines transcribed.
  • Clicking a work title from the project owner dashboard now consistent with other work titles.
  • Project owners may use a project-specific sign-up link to help new users find their projects.
  • Voyant and Word Trees analysis now open in separate tabs.
  • At least some alphabetic characters must be used in work slugs.
  • The Subject Details CSV export now contains the text of any subject articles as well as the full URL to that article.
  • The Delete Collection button is now only visible to organization accounts, but hidden from staff accounts.
  • Searching for works now searches metadata without matching on metadata labels. This search now includes metadata entered on the work settings tab.
  • Work metadata export now includes work creation date.
  • Small flow improvements during work import/upload.
  • The Start Transcribing button now drops users into pages that have not yet been started instead of incomplete pages.

Integration Improvements

  • Multi-lingual IIIF manifest metadata labels no longer break on import.
  • Collections and document sets must now have unique slugs.
  • Internet Archive items with spaces in derivative filenames are correctly supported.
  • Projects imported from the Internet Archive or IIIF no longer show inoperable image replacement options to project owners.
  • Apostrophes in imported/uploaded metadata no longer appear as HTML escaped in PDF exports.
  • Uploading subjects CSVs that are not UTF-encoded but contain diacritics no longer breaks.
  • IIIF v2 Collection manifests that include pagination are now supported.

Bug fixes

  • When a project owner deletes the default subject categories People or Places, they no longer reappear.
  • Document sets with metadata facets no longer throw 500 errors.
  • Preview, edit, and autolink buttons no longer are missing English translations.
  • In spreadsheet transcription, removing a row and then saving the spreadsheet (without any further edits) now removes the row data correctly.
  • For spreadsheet transcription projects who have deleted columns from the configuration, exports now work.
  • New routes evade 500 error saving works from the settings screen.
  • Spanish translation of "Last 7 Days Statistics" now works.

Serviceability Improvements

  • Improved performance for the project owner homepage when projects have large numbers of document sets.

The team is grateful to the Council of State Archivists for support for the metadata creation feature, University of Texas Libraries and the National Endowment for the Humanities for multilingual facet display, and to intern Sylvie Daines for several bug fixes.
