Seals Portal

The seals portal aims at displaying all of the resources in the CDLI concerning a seal, aggregated in one place, with important features like viewing image annotations and graphical representation of seals chemistry. The objectives of the project are: Creating the seals portal which lists different CDLI seals as groups i.e. physical, composite, sealings, and all cdli seals for a better user experience. It shows a list of best-attested composite seals along with an image and description. It presents a table containing seals and impressed tablets by period, here the users can view seals grouped by period (name and duration). The seals’ single view will display the seal image, a graphical way to present seals’ chemical information; this graph can be viewed in a bar chart, pie chart, line chart and can be converted to tabular format. The seals’ single view includes accordions to display physical information, inscription, identifiers, provenience, Composites, Inscriptions, and Chemical information. It also displays Image annotations. This project will also have a standalone converter tool for converting annotations from COCO format to w3c.json format. There will be a bulk update interface to upload annotations to the database the user can upload the annotations in w3c.json or COCO format.

Tentative timeline

–> Completed Tasks –> Ongoing Tasks –> Work Demonstration

Week	Objectives	Deliverables
1	Implement required changes to the database and edit the model files accordingly	- Setting up the image_annotations table - Creating respective model files - Bulk update of image_annotations table - Adding chemical composition of seals
2	Testing the image_annotations table with SQL commands
3	The seals portal	- Displaying Best Attested Composite seals with image sand description. - Displaying and grouping seals categories: Physical Seals, Composite Seals, Sealings, All CDLI seals
4	The seals portal	- Create a table and respective model files for best_attested_seals - Tabular representation of seals, categorized by period.
5	Testing the seals portal	Implementing changes suggested by mentors
6	Implementing seals single view	- Making basic layout of seal single view page (Images, summary, accordions)
7	Implementing seals single view	-Implementation of a PHP library for graphical representation of chemical information of seals. A feature to view only top n elements(based on weight) A switch to convert the graph into a table view.
8	Implementing seals single view	Graphical visualisation of element weight in that seal in the form of pie chart, line chart, and bar graph
9	Testing seals single view	Implementing changes suggested by mentors
10	Adding image annotation viewer and integrating it with annotorious -open seadragon	- Create the viewer page - Generate tiles for deepzoom
11	Adding image annotation viewer and integrating it with annotorious -open seadragon	- Integrate with annotorious-openseadragon
12	Testing annotation viewer	Implementing changes suggested by mentors
13	Implement a convertor from coco format to w3c.json format	- To Study more about w3c.json and COCO image annotations format - Comparing both coco and w3c.json annotation formats to create SVG points layout - Writing a python script that takes in coco_format and gives w3c.json format - Add the convertor to the docker container.
14	Testing COCO convertor	Implementing changes suggested by mentors
