integrate curated data for the Tibetan traditions #933

For the Tibetan tradition pages, the librarians worked on a spreadsheet that has the data we want to put online. The spreadsheet is not done yet but I thought we could start reviewing it from a technical point of view and start thinking about import strategies:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WTVvWn15vwkAQxIzlHC8JHuTtyV_QfgjFCyjV_Euf2A/edit?gid=0#gid=0

My inclination is that the look could be quite simple, à la https://legacy.tbrc.org/#!specials/selected/nyingma , supposing users will already be familiar with the titles.

Technically I think we could just import the structure (in 2 levels, the titles and then a list of MW ids), then dynamically fetch the name for each record.

What do you think @berger-n @roopeux ?

roopeux commented 5 days ago

Yes me too, I also thought we should start with that.

The Tibetan Tradition main page could look something like this

Use images only for the curated lists to draw attention there. Repeat the rest of our current content below without images. The old content may still be too visible, but lets start with this version.

moved the sections to their new places: https://library-dev.bdrc.io/tradition/bo/

added the new route (from Selected works / Nyingma) : https://library-dev.bdrc.io/tradition/bo/nyingma (note that the labels for categories are taken from the spreadsheet, English only for now, but it would work with a topic id as well if it corresponds to some; the labels for the texts are fetched on the fly and temporarily stored in sessionStorage)

just found out there were like ten tabs in the sheet, but what about the categories, are they supposed to be from the ontology?

eroux commented 2 days ago

let's ignore Poetry, History and Karchak tabs for now and also let's remove the Zhalu icon on the website. It seems the Shangpa Kagyu have been folded into the Kagyu... well, not my job to comment on that... the categories don't come from the ontology, we'll need to ask the librarians to provide Tibetan translations. I think ideally we could have an import script that just takes csv files from this spreadsheet and turns them into a json with everything, but that will require specifying the format for the labels in the different languages
