towards a search interface

[gregorycrane]

obvious we are moving towards a search interface. as of now, at a page such as https://gu658.us1.eldarioncloud.com/lemma/62436/?filter=urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0003.tlg001.perseus-grc2

if you click on one of the passage links on the right, I would assume I would see the passage. In fact, the URLs produce more vocab analysis.

NB: users will want to be able to skim through passages with short quotes. Ultimately, we want to be able to call up a translation for each quoted passage (should be easy with CTS URNs) and alignment data (should not be hard but nothing is ever really easy....)

We'll have to evolve how much of this will just go in the Scaife Viewer proper versus this tool (even if the data is coming from this service and just presented in the Scaife Viewer).

Closer integration between the two is coming in the next few days but there'll still be lots to consider.

56 covers being able to go from passage references here to the reader in Scaife.

And over in Scaife (not yet deployed but will be on Monday) we have a widget that shows the vocabulary for whatever passage you're looking at, drawn from the Greek Vocabulary Tool.

@gregorycrane there are now links from the vocabulary tool to the passages in Scaife (the other way around coming soon)

This is still unusable (=I, at least, tried to do some work with it and gave up, and I have a vested interest in using this). E.g.,

https://gu658.us1.eldarioncloud.com/lemma/79546/?filter=urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0011.tlg003.perseus-grc2

Users must be able to see search snippets -- they can't be forced to click on links to individual passages, call up a new window etc. The Scaife Viewer has this, of course.

But the Scaife search puts us back in the 1980s and only supports string searches. We need the lemma searches and string searches and snippets.

We have a usable system -- its components are just split between the Scaife Viewer and Deep vocab.

On the other hand, I needed to see instances of the precise form idmen and this worked pretty well:

Again, all the components are present in one system or the other --

What's missing is the indexing of lemmas on the Scaife side. The vocab tool doesn't have the raw texts and is primary intended for generating vocab lists for passages. The search functionality in Scaife just needs to be improved and that basically involves indexing the lemmas.
