Hi! I would like to share with you a digital archive built with TW. It stores digital copies of the documents, related metadata and represent them through different templates.
Actual archive (node.js)
One-file version
Unfortunately, the content is only available in Italian, sorry for that. Would appreciate any feedback, thank you!
The plugins used:
field-search
refnotes with BibTeX
leaflet
from shiraz: flexgrid layout, image-basic
This forum helped me immensely with the development, thanks a lot to all of you!
Some background: This work is part of my master thesis in Digital Humanities. The archiveâs data is a graph, created with a standard data model/ontology for archivists, that I extended to be able to describe documents related to the architecture.
I wanted to create an engaging representation of the graph, that historians and just curious folks could use easily (no SPARQL endpoints, no floating around visualizations of the network). The main goal was to keep mandatory for the archivists tree-like structure (how documents are organized in folders) and create other, more interesting views.
In fact, TiddlyWiki permitted me to provide a typical finding aid for the archive, but also make documents searchable from perspective of architectural project, place, person and include them in free narrative texts (fantastic transclusion).
My first idea was to try making TW work with JSON-LD, but this very soon proved to be beyond my capacity as a new user, so for now I just mapped the graphâs edges to custom fields and wrote templates and filters.
