MIRABILE-ATLAS Fellowship core objectives
- On-line publication, with related search functions for the search and visualization, of data
present in MIRABILE on an atlas of medieval culture with related cross-searches and
interactive navigation over the data retrieved from the database. All data will be transformed in
JSON, which is the standard format for the management of data used by Elastic Search for
indexing. - Integration with information present in MIRABILE’s databases (such as the author, the
texts, the manuscripts that conserve them and the bibliography). The development of this new
module will provide the ability to show those database informations on a map. The
geographical data will be loaded by the user inserting it in a text field. To facilitate the user, a
lemmatization algorithm will be used, it will analyze the text contained in the document by
detecting the entries in it. - A user interface that will integrate the search engine results, will be implemented in the new
project, providing a way to view the data on an interactive map.
