🧵 3/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO continues after lunch w/ my "adopted" colleagues from the #History section. I had a coordinating & getting-to-know meeting to set up some presentations and show-and-tell sessions for the Depts. #DigitalMeetup that happens every #Tuesday. I offered to do short sessions on #TaDiRAH, #Transkribus, #Tropy and #Tesseract during the fall. I'll use the 1678 #Danish translation of the #EthicaComplementoria as an example for #AutomatedTextRecognition of C17th books!

If you're doing research that requires a large collection of (historical) maps or photos, old articles, etc, nothing is like #tropy. It gets more useful the more data you build into it. And the database is always under our control (including a backup plan). Zooming into and panning documents is silky smooth.

I got #Tropy installed on LinuxMint. Back to working on my projects as normal.

Tropy 1.13.1 for linux seems to have a crash bug when importing several files into the database. It can be worked around by limiting number of files to import. I posted my crash log on #github. Seems that the Tropy team is aware of issue and working on it.

This is why I love open source. Our relationship is different. The software won't improve as fast, unless we report our bugs and explain how to duplicate them. 🙂

Nice to see screenshots of #Shadowmap https://shadowmap.org/ and #Tropy https://tropy.org/ making the rounds here – the former started as a Master's thesis supervised by me, the latter has two friends of mine as dev and UI leads. 🤗

Good to see friends' projects thrive!

@malin #Tropy er veldig interessant, ja! Har du noen konkrete use cases for det?

#Tropy j'avais pas insisté mais c'est une mise à jour majeure (sur la manière de partager les projets notamment). Les nouveaux projets, par défauts, copient les photos dans le dossier du projet (attention aux doublons).

How to Analyse Soninke Ajami Manuscripts: A workflow for the analysis of Soninke Ajami manuscripts using the open-source software #Tropy

A completely satisfying (and mostly rainy), weekend doing historical research collecting. Maps maps maps! Then pulling them into #Tropy and tagging them.

Next step is to update my #QGIS project. But I do have a “remastered in darktable” photo to post next.

From Simon’s post, I really dug into #Tropy this weekend. It’s functionality is perfect for my research projects. UX is fluid, easy to add data and tags, and it’s easy to zoom around large maps. I attached a few screenshots from my progress. Very suitable for tracking large collections.

Special thanks to Simon Polster for his post.

I just started using the #opensource app #tropy to manage my "map inspiration" collection. It is exactly what I've been looking for! #gischat

Wow, #Tropy looks great as an open-source tool for organising a collection of research photographs. https://tropy.org/

Are you interested in learning more about #Tropy? The Tropy team has two dedicated outreach postdocs who frequently hold virtual and in-person demonstration sessions and workshops.

In the upcoming week we will lead sessions at Universidad Católica Andres Bello (Caracas, Venezuela--see attached image), Arquivo Público Estadual de São Paulo (Brazil) and the Univrsidade Federal de Sergipe (also Brazil).

Contact us if you'd like to set up a Tropy session at your institution!

Extrem interessanter Vortrag von Dominique Stutzmann (IRHT/CNRS) über die Analyse mittelalterlicher Schriftquellen mit digitalen Methoden am Beispiel von Stundenbüchern und Urkundenregistern.

Für mich gerade am spannendsten: Die Entdeckung von #Arkindex, was gerade für gescannte Texte besonders gut zu funktionieren scheint. Werde es mit #Tropy vergleichen ...

#digitalhistory #digitalhumanities @dh

@whanley @philippsteinkrueger @natalie @stefandumont Great question and I reckon there are a myriad of ways to approach this problem. For me, the answer depends on a) the length of the manuscript in question and b) @natalie skill set. Training HTR for a single, short-ish manuscript is probably not worth the effort, as you don't want / need the full text. You could annotate regions within the images with the open-source #Tropy app (https://tropy.org/). Tropy provides various means for exporting structured data, one of which is JSON-LD. This could then be used for the actual co-occurrence / network analysis in #Python or #R.

#tropy users...did you first start using Tropy at the beginning of a new project, or did you first adopt it during a project in progress?

What was your experience switching from your previous workflow to Tropy?

If you do research (or have fun with!) large collections of images, whether of your own taking or institutionally provided ones, #Tropy is a life saver and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I've been using it since early days and am delighted with it https://tropy.org/

#tropy users...did you first start using Tropy at the beginning of a new project, or did you first adopt it during a project in progress? What was your experience switching from your previous workflow to Tropy?

I'm trying to find out more about our users, but also want to keep the conversation rolling about how Tropy can help researchers with their projects.
