What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
compare_collections | Compare 2–4 projects or collections (id or code from list_collections) with identical research-item filters. Reports denominators, missingness, dates and top types/languages. |
fetch | Read a typed search result as a cited document. Full text/transcripts are opt-in and pageable; metadata and text respect exposure policy. Unknown ID returns an error. |
find_related | Subjects, people, places and projects connected through shared records. Per-corpus counts deduplicate each record; subject/person seeds also include publications. Returns ambiguity and cited samples. |
get_collection_overview | Start here: corpus counts, text coverage, breakdowns, dates, snapshot freshness and refresh status. |
get_data_quality | Snapshot coverage and missing metadata, unresolved loaded-authority links, semantic-neighbour coverage and sanitized refresh status. Missing catalogue metadata is not evidence of real-world absence. |
get_entity_graph | One-hop graph from a typed ID: explicit catalogue links and derived co-occurrence with distinct-record counts and cited evidence. types filters neighbours before the bounds. Pass edge_id to page its evidence; pin snapshot_id across pages. |
get_fulltext_map | ILAM's journal African Music by its private full text, from public derived counts: AI-labelled content groups, countries named, word rates per year. Never returns text. |
get_institution | Institution or group profile: identifiers, members, funded projects and credited items, with citation links. |
get_person | Person affiliations, identifiers, project and section roles, credited items, publications, podcasts, videos and collaborators. Lists cap at 50 with totals. Use id to disambiguate. |
get_podcast | Podcast detail, duration, audio file and citation link; says which model generated the transcript. Transcript is opt-in, bounded and pageable. |
get_project | Project description, team, sections, funders, item counts by type, top subjects and ten sample research items, with citation links. |
get_publication | Publication metadata and citation export (BibTeX default). Full text is opt-in and paginated. Cite amira_url; DOI/repository links are additional sources. |
get_research_item | Research-item metadata, linked entities, rights, media files, IIIF manifest and a generated citation (BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON). Long fields cap at 25,000 characters. |
get_research_section | One research section's description, team and projects, each with its research-item count. |
get_similar_items | Records whose catalogue descriptions read most alike (EmbeddingGemma 2 vectors), across research items, publications, videos, podcasts, projects and sections. Similar wording, not a documented link. |
get_snapshot_changes | Page added/updated/deleted records between retained snapshots from this Omeka instance. Lists available snapshot IDs when fewer than two exist. For recent additions without history, use added_since on the search tools. |
get_text_passages | Find literal accent-insensitive keyword passages in selected publication/video/podcast IDs. Original UTF-16 offsets, bounded context, and citations. Requires full text exposure; no semantic ranking. |
get_video | Video detail, thumbnail and citation link; says how the transcript was produced when recorded. Transcript is opt-in, bounded and pageable. |
list_categories | Ranked formats, languages or resource types used by research items. Feed values into the corresponding search filters. |
list_cluster_partners | Cluster partner institutions grouped by catalogue category, with citation links. |
list_collections | Research collections, one per project, ranked by research-item count and cited by the project page. Feed an id or code into search_research_items.collection. |
list_groups | Browse research groups and associations by name, with citation links. |
list_institutions | Browse institution authorities by name or acronym (e.g. 'UJKZ'), with project counts and citation links. |
list_journals | Publication venues ranked by linked bibliography records, with ISSN and catalogue links. |
list_locations | Research places with coordinates and ancestor rollups. Two tiers: level "country" or "place" (city, region or site); one item counts under both. Feed a name into search_research_items.location. |
list_publication_facets | Ranked facets for the entire filtered bibliography before pagination. Uses the same selection rules as search_publications. |
list_research_sections | Cluster research sections, funding phases, project/item counts and citation links. Includes the external-collection grouping. |
list_subjects | Subject headings (LCSH or free tags) ranked by distinct research-item count. Feed a heading into search_research_items.subject. |
list_years | Research-item year/decade histogram with dated and undated counts. A date range counts in each spanned bucket. Supports shared item filters and pagination. |
resolve_entity | Resolve a label or typed ID to cited candidates. Returns ambiguity instead of merging names. Use a returned id with get_entity_graph or get_* tools. |
search | Ranked search across items, publications, videos, podcasts, projects and sections. Returns typed IDs, titles and citation URLs. Fetch selected records for evidence. |
search_persons | Find canonical person authority records. Names accept either order and ignore accents. Use resolve_entity to disambiguate homonyms. |
search_podcasts | Search podcast metadata and transcripts. Text-only hits include snippets; full transcripts require get_podcast with opt-in. |
search_projects | Search project names, descriptions and membership. Returns cited summaries and item counts; use get_project for detail. |
search_publications | AND-filtered bibliography, newest first. Keyword includes PDF text and returns match snippets. citation_format returns citations per page; export links every match as one file. Cite amira_url. |
search_research_items | Search digitised research items. Filters are AND-combined; empty results suggest a filter to relax or a stored place name. export links all matches as a file. |
search_videos | Search video metadata and transcripts. Text-only hits include snippets; full transcripts require get_video with opt-in. |
