Demo of Release 1.1.0: https://youtu.be/kNX_JDEftRU
This release adds the ability to copy existing an description to start a new one, both for Sinopia-created resources and external data
- When viewing a saved resource on the Editor tab, a new Copy icon lets you copy the current description, creating a new, unsaved description in the same Resource Template, which you can then edit and save as a new description.
- To support the ability to copy an external description, the Search tab now includes a choice of external sources to search. These are searched via the Questioning Authority service. New sources added in this release:
- MARC datasets of LD4P cohort institutions, converted to RDF by Share-VDE service
- Discogs music database.
- When searching an external data source, a new Copy icon next to a search result lets you copy that "record" into a Resource Template of your choice. Any data from the selected record that does not match the chosen Resource Template is displayed in a "remainder" box.
- only the top 8 results are shown
- Discogs search does not work
- response time is slow
The Load RDF tab is another route for using external data to create a new description. This release adds several improvements to loading RDF
- help text explaining which formats are accepted and clarifying that Base URI is not required
- if you don't specify a destination Resource Template in your data (with the http://sinopia.io/vocabulary/hasResourceTemplate property), Sinopia prompts you to select a destination Resource Template from a list of available templates
- any loaded data that does not match the chosen Resource Template is displayed in a "remainder" box
- Extended context: If a Questioning Authority lookup offers extended context, this contextual information is always shown. (This is an improvement from previous releases in which extended context had to be explicitly specified in a Resource Template in order for it to be displayed, which in turn had required an update to the Sinopia Resource Template schema.) Authority Status for Lookups through QA shows which sources have extended context.
- Lookups to multiple sources: To improve the response time of lookup fields that search multiple Questioning Authority sources, Sinopia displays results from each source as soon as available. In previous releases, Sinopia waited for results from all sources before displaying any.
- Literals and URIs in lookup fields: Fields that are lookups to Sinopia resources or to LC vocabularies now accept literals or URIs as entries (previously only Questioning Authority lookups supported this feature)
- Defaults in nested templates are now editable
- Indexing pipeline does not stop working after period of inactivity (this was preventing new and changed resources from showing up in Search results)
- Previously created Sinopia resources will not open from the Search tab if the Resource Template used to create the resource no longer exists. Either nothing will happen when you click the search result, or you will be taken to the Editor tab, but will see a previously opened resource. Issue 1447
- Fixes bug where QA lookups did not work if they were in templates nested in other templates.
- Adds support for lookups to Share-VDE data and fixes bug where validation messages weren't properly cleared
This release completes the Sinopia MVP (minimum viable product) -- offering enough functionality to start cataloging! This release completes Milestone 4 (https://github.com/LD4P/sinopia/issues/167): finding data created in Sinopia, referring to resources created in Sinopia, and editing existing data in Sinopia.
Demo of Release 1.0 (and previous releases since last demo): https://youtu.be/vOfcpd9w0fQ
- Simple search of descriptions created in Sinopia (currently searching only titles)
- Click on search result to open the description in the Editor tab
- Search supports wildcard
- Your description is indexed upon Save & Publish so that it can be searched
- Sinopia-created resources are now a source for lookups
- After selecting a value from a lookup, the selected literal is displayed as a link to the corresponding URI, so you can visit the URI for context
- Improvements to validation of entered data
- Validation of entries in mandatory fields is recursive (nested Resource Templates are checked)
- The mandatory fields message updates dynamically as you fill in missing entries
- Fields that expect a URI warn you if you enter a literal (*These are fields configured with property type = resource, but not pointing to another Resource Template)
- More UI improvements
- Sinopia warns you if you try to go to another tab and you have unsaved entries.
- If you enter data in a literal field, save is disabled until you hit Enter or move to another field, preventing you from typing a literal and saving without "entering" the value.
- Export data. No UI. Requires command line and admin access. Exports can be requested via issue in github. Documentation to follow.
- Extended context on some lookups. Requires manual editing of Profile to configure. Documentation to follow.
a quick point release to check the indexing pipeline
- Buttons properly aligned depending on context
- Language handling improvement for input literal
- Leaving a literal input with text now saves the value, without having to hit "Enter"
- Can load known Trellis URI into Editor to bring up corresponding description
- Search feature in progress; results now have pagination
feature list includes 0.3.3 through 0.3.7 point release features
- Author and Remark shown for each Resource Template in the list
- List is sortable by Template Name, ID, or Author
- List is sorted by default by Template Name, and newly added Templates are automatically sorted
- Column text wraps
- Resource Template JSON is downloadable (Note: You're downloading JSON for a Resource Template, not a Profile, so you can't load that same JSON back in to the Editor or the Profile Editor, both of which require Profiles. If you need to load a Resource Template you can try https://github.com/LD4P/sinopia/wiki/How-to-turn-a-Resource-Template-into-an-importable-Profile)
- When you load a revised version of an existing Resource Template, changes to Template Name, Author or Remark are reflected immediately in the list
- Minted URI and confirmation message appear when you Save & Publish
- This minted URI is deferenceable (paste in a browser and see your created statements)
- Repeats of repeatable items are removable
- Lookup fields allow you to enter a URI or literal instead of selecting a value from the lookup
- Fields that expect a URI warn you if you enter a literal
- URIs entered into fields are clickable
- Editor validates whether mandatory fields are filled in within nested Resource Templates
- Given a set of triples (including a triple specifying what Resource Template to load the triples into), Sinopia loads your triples, creating a new resource description. (To get a model of triples to load, choose a Resource Template, fill in some fields, click Preview. Paste these triples into the Load RDF tab.
- New option to specify Sinopia as a source for lookups (Note that the Sinopia search is in progress)
- Sinopia Editor version number now visible upper left of Editor window
- Issue templates for bug reports and feature requests and updated Help menu with direct links to those templates
feature list includes 0.3.1 and 0.3.2 point release features
Achieves first part of milestone 4: Creating, previewing and saving RDF
- RDF is generated from resource template + cataloger description
- User can preview RDF while cataloging
- User can save resource descriptions
- User can choose which group to save resource descriptions to
- When saving, user is prompted to fill in required fields
- Sinopia mints a URI for the resource when user saves description
- Fixed bugs resulting in blank screen
Achieves milestone 3: User Login and “Profile Opening Night”
- User can create new account
- User can retrieve forgotten password or reset password
- Only logged-in users are allowed to access the Linked Data Editor
- User is prompted to log in if trying to access the Linked Data Editor
- Logged-in user can upload new profile to a list of "available resource templates" that others can then use to catalog
- Logged-in user can overwrite existing resource templates with new version of same
- User is asked to confirm overwrite when trying to upload resource templates that already exist
- User can choose a resource template from a list of available resource templates, open the "form", and try entering data.
- All types of "fields" and field options are working:
- type = literal
- type = lookup
- type = resource
- repeatable (true or false)
- tooltips (hyperlink or text)
- default values for literals and lookups
- mandatory (true or false; if true, field marked with asterisk)
- Profile creator can specify a Share-VDE dataset as option for lookup in Profile Editor
- In Linked Data Editor, user can search for and select entities/values from Share-VDE data, as specified in profile
- Resource Template tab validates and loads Resource Templates into Editor Tab
- Cognito Authenication for Import Resource Template
- Editor UI updated to use blocks and outlines
- Load profile into Editor to see the form
- Enter data into literal field
- Search for and select values in authoritative sources as specified in Profile
- Add multiple values to literal and lookup fields where allowed (n/a for type = resource)
- UX improvements for repeatable literal and lookup fields
- UX prevents user from adding multiple values where not allowed, in literal and lookup fields
- For properties where object is another "form", see a button to open that "form" NOTE: this will generate a blank button until future release when Profiles are stored in Sinopia server
- For property type Resource, get visual confirmation that you indeed entered something in the modal form (NOTE: this doesn't work properly yet for type=Resource and repeatable=true)
- See help text as hyperlink or tooltip per Profile
- Use tab key to advance through fields (in addition to mousing)
