Wikisource:WikiProject NLS
WikiProject NLS |
This project is to co-ordinate efforts to retrieve and present works stored by the National Library of Scotland |
Project Overview[edit]
The National Library of Scotland has a collection of over 3,000 Scottish chapbooks which have been digitised and published on the Library's Digital Gallery. In March 2020, the Library undertook a project to correct the OCR on this collection by uploading them to Wikisource, proofreading them then exporting the corrected OCR and loading it back into the Digital Gallery. The project began during the Coronavirus crisis and had been a useful way of using staff time while they work from home; in the first four weeks of the project more than 60 members of staff had taken part. In addition, it has served as a good vehicle for engaging Library staff with the wider Wikimedia environment.
Workflow[edit]
We worked with Beeswaxcandle to develop a workflow that would allow us to meet Wikisource's quality standards while being able to complete texts at a reasonable pace. Please contact Gweduni if you would like more detail about any of the steps below.
The workflow contains the following stages:
- Uploading books to Wikisource
- Proofreading
- Validating
- Tranclusion
- Export of OCR
Uploading books to Wikisource[edit]
We upload approximately 40 books per day to Wikisource. This involves identifying the items we want to upload, preparing a metadata spreadsheet and then uploading to Wikimedia Commons through Pattypan. The books are then moved across to Wikisource from Wikimedia Commons and added to our internal tracking spreadhseet, where they are then distributed to staff members for editing.
The Index pages for such works are in Category:WikiProject NLS.
Proofreading[edit]
Some members of the team are responsible for the intial proofreading of the books. This stage contains some mandatory steps such as ensuring spelling and punctuation are correct, correct use of line breaks, and adopting a consistent approach to illegible text, blank pages and blurry pages. Staff who are more confident in the Wikisource platform can pick up some of the optional steps including alignment, formatting, special characters and generating tables or columns (any of these optional steps that are missed are then picked up at the Validating stage).
NLS Proofreading guide: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:National_Library_of_Scotland_Wikisource_Project_Proofreading_Guide.pdf
Validating[edit]
There is a separate group of more advanced users who undertake the validation stage. This stage involves checking that the book has been proofread correctly and adding in tags and additional formatting to ensure the book better reflects the look of the original item.
NLS Validation and Transcluding Guide: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:National_Library_of_Scotland_Wikisource_Project_Validating_and_Transcluding_Guide.pdf
Transclusion[edit]
Transclusion involves the publication of the item on Wikisource. This involves adding a header template, linking author details through to Wikidata, adding copyright templates and updating the item's status to "Transcluded". Once an item had been transcluded we are able to export the completed OCR.
Export of OCR[edit]
The Library's developer team are currently testing the process for exporting the completed OCR and reimporting into the Library's Digital Gallery.
Progress[edit]
The collection contains approximately 3,000 chapbooks, and we plan to upload around 200 every week. We hope to have as many of the 3,000 transcluded as possible before the end of the Coronavirus lockdown, and will make this an ongoing piece of work once staff return to the Library. The "uploaded" column shows the number of items uploaded, while the "To proofread" column shows the number to be proofread once duplicates or possible duplicates have been excluded.
