Archipelago 2020 Roadmap:1.0.0-RC1

[DiegoPino]

Archipelago 2020 Roadmap

See also #5 and #35 and #79 for the whole historic recreation. @alliomeria I will work on this tomorrow.

This is our working enumeration of concrete tasks until end of 2020 (the year of the void()), per Component and Service, for public evaluation (critics and comments welcome).

All tasks listed here are leading our full feature release somewhere this first half of the year. 2020 has been weird, hurtful but strangely productive and Archipelago sailing, floating steady in the current and full of suprises. Checked tasks are ready, unchecked are in progress or planned. Priority is not given by this order.

Please feel free to comment, request more info or ask for clarification. Feature requests are also highly appreciated and taken in account (always, please!).

Strawberryfield

• Field Property exposure to Drupal strategies
  • JSON KEY Provider (flattener)
  • JSON Flatten Keys
  • JSONPATH/JMESPATH
  • Entity Reference Casting Provider (Using UUID loading and configurable entity type) using JSON based hints to expose any semantic relationship to Search API
  • JSON stored Service Endpoints with extended logic (e.g HOCR) - A.k.a Strawberry Flavor Data Source.
  • Multi Map/ join: many properties to single. e.g All keys - Authorities- referring to creators, contributors etc unified as Agents keys. This leads to Fractal Ontologies and our Buckets approach.
• File downloads and streaming
• Ranged Request Streamer with back-to-front S3 managment and buffer/memory managment. For any exposed Binary Endpoint. Also streaming. This was some not sleeping much!

JSON representation and enrichment

• Better File management (Better than Drupal)
  • File referencing via UUID instead of via Entity ID
  • Handle temporary files when moving from TEMP storage to PERMANENT
  • Increment file usage count on new versions
  • Decrement file usage count on version removal
  • Change file usage on Delete, EDIT on existing active content and versions
  • Add Webform based UI managment (reorder, replace, delete) for files
  • File based Plugins callable by Webhooks
    • TECHMD
    • ~~ ZIP/UNZIP ~~ MOVED to Strawberry Runners.
    • Derivative for larger MEDIA (video and Sound) MOVED to Strawberry Runners.
    • Pronom Service/Preservation
• New JSON Service Architecture reference
• Deposit/save on Node save whole, selfs sustainable Strawberry JSON blob in S3/Minio/FileSystem
• Keep track of Service and action on Ingest/edit using Activity Streams
• Add more agent information on our activity streams for provenance and tracking.
• Add More Event Driven Subscribers. And better
• Hook-able and override-able storage Pattern for files. @alliomeria we need to doc this for Developers.

Webforms integration

• Webform Driven UI Ingest with custom handler and widget
• Handler allows direct CRUD without any node attached and also prepopulation of data using an existing node UUID @alliomeria we need docs here too 🥰
• Create a set of Demo Webforms that cover base of our GLAM source data needs
• Allow Webform Field Widget selection be driven by RDF type and permissions.
• New Solr Aware Entity Select Views (with code code to handle Solr to Entity) which allows
  • Complex autocomplete elements (like get me all Digital Objects of Type Book with a green Cover the user can see
• New Fine grained Entity (node to node) reference possible through this.
• CSV to JSON importer element
• XML to JSON importer element
• Strawberry transplanter. Any JSON into filled Webform Elements (display) using a twig template.
• Create new, better, LoD Webform elements
  • WIKIDATA
  • LoC (with support for any Suggest endpoint)
  • LoC with support MADS RDF Types
  • WIKIDATA Agents with LD Roles
  • WIKIDATA using custom SPARQL
  • Viaf
  • Multi Source, Multi Agent Element. Agents/Corporate can use now multiple Authority Controls.
  • Getty with exact and fuzzy search (updated to be better!
  • Nominatim Geo reconciliation. Normal and Reverse.
  • Panorama Tour Building App (like 1200 lines of code, gosh!)
  • Image and EXIF extraction on upload for U/facing previews.
• Create Stub (temporary) WIKIDATA entities if query shows desired WIKIDATA entity does not exist upstream.
  • "publish" to wikibase functionality
  • Replace repo wide stub uri with official one once pushed.
  • Keep track on the stub who is referencing it is (bidirectional reference?)
• Move Strawberryfield harvest Webform handler's logic to plugins
  • Deal with as:images
  • Deal with as:documents, as:video, as:sound, as:dataset elements
  • Deal with as:models
• Allow anonymous submits to be converted into proper Nodes by Admin (Self deposit, crowd sourced metadata) WOHO! This also allows self standing endpoints and custom mappings.
• Make Webform API Interaction work with States(JS) by removing one From wrapper.
• Make Webform API Interaction more versatile for our use. Use as schema validator. WIP. AMI.
• Add JS to avoid main node CRUD to submit/validate embedded Webform as widget

Media Displays

• Add expected mime/type output to Media displays. Allows to tag media displays as JSON, XML, CSV, JSON-LD or HTML only.
  • React to mime type to allow JSON or XML output to be downloaded too.
  • Native/self rendering and Content-Type tagging with caching.
  • Automatic extraction From template of required/used variables (context). Not front facing yet but for sure useful for building a Pick-and-chose (or Data color picker) to aid in Twig Template building
• Webforms are injected as Context. So a Webform Element Title can be used to match its value.
• Add new Data Views Plugin integration to allow Media Displays to preprocess values on views exposed as API endpoints
• Version Media Displays (This is config)
• Per Metadata Display Extra data injection via any strawberry field that is added. @alliomeria we need docs!
• Provide example Twig templates for
  • MODS
  • DC and
  • JSON-LD
  • GEOJSON
  • IIIF Manifest 2.1
  • IIIF Manifest 3.0
  • EAD2002 (With recursive C Element generation from CSV)
  • EAD3 (With recursive C Element generation from CSV)
  • a Carrousel
• Metadata Display Exposed endpoints (reuse as Standalone API/download/streams)
• API builder via UI using Endpoints. Any API, OAI, IIIF, etc. Allows a VIEW to be injected to feed data. Arguments are filtered and fully customizable

Field Formatters

• Static IIIF Images
• Open Seadragon IIIF Images
  • W3C Web Annotations! Box and Polygon, fully IIIF compliant with CRUD endpoints. Caches until you are ready to save.
  • Add thumbnail navigation
• IABookreader IIIF Images
  • Integrate Flavor based Solr Search (WIP via Amazing https://github.com/dbmdz/solr-ocrhighlighting!) @alliomeria we will write a full doc about this.
• Panorama via IIIF
• Panorama Tours via other Panorama Objects and IIIF, including Hotspots of many types
• Metadata up-casters
• Metadata up-casters with download endpoint (Metadata Display Exposed endpoints)
• Video (HTML5)
• Audio (HTML5)
• PDF (custom, derived from the base PDF.js library. Not fancy. But Mozilla asks people to NOT use their fancy one directly and we agreed.
• Web annotations (IIIF)
• Complex nested structures (Whole graphs)
• 3D! (Three + JSM)
• Mirador 3.0 (With Resource comparison and multi sourced IIIF manifests, using full release now)
• Expose View Mode to JSON Type value mapping that triggers automatic View Mode Selection
• Webrecorder.io native player (WARC replay) with WACZ capabilities version 1.3.2

API Ingest, Migration and backup

• Strawberryfield Normalizer: expands JSON string as a JSON when exporting
• Strawberryfield denormalizer: string-ify JSON when importing
• Wrap JSONAPI on a set of Drush script to (Strawberry Seeds)
  • Allow Single command line invoke files and node ingest
  • Create virtual field Entity "buckets" to allow Media to be ingested into those as links and routed to internal Strawberryfield elements (utility methods for ingest)
• AMI (Archipelago Multi Import) First iteration
  • API Source (Other repos, ContentDM, Solr)
  • Google Spreadsheets (same as IMI)
  • Complete Drush 9 integration
• Filesystem drop-and-forget ingest. You save a JSON file into S3, Archipelago creates entities and relationships.

Service Architecture (Strawberry Runners)

• Develop webhook driven notification service for derivatives
• Custom, user facing Plugins. Build your own derivative workflows (system calls, JSON processing, etc)
• Document/deploy webhook triggers for minio S3 per mimetype
• Document/deploy webhook triggers for AWS S3 (via lambda) per mimetype
• Develop Shell processing using Custom Plugins (Processors) and user configurable for each case (rule system)
• Allow Processor to be chained! And have multiple outputs.
• Queue-worker processing
• Generate JSON reference-able Services (plugins)for complex non descriptive metadata and data
  • HOCR
  • TECHMD
  • Web Annotations
  • Tabular datasets
  • Transcripts (similar to Web Annotations, mostly dependant)
  • File Conversions (any that your Shell allows) with reingest
  • Smart checks on existing processed output to avoid double processing.
  • ~~ Build slim Content entity that can be used to index natively that content into Solr via search API ~~ This is now a fully capable Search API Datasource that can hold any output. one (node) to many (files) to even more sequences.
  • Allow Services to be self explaining of its capabilities. WIP how we expose this to the world. Probably GET will be allowed

SEO and API

• Allow Media displays output to be embeded in HTML head for SEO
• Test/Develop nested DATA VIEWS integration for OAI-ORE and OAI-PMH (See Format Strawberryfield and API builder)
• Create (TWIG, metadata displays) and expose as endpoints full set of IIIF API JSON outputs.
• Add helper methods and twig extensions to allow Metadata displays to access pre existing views (like object listings for a collection) to help build those lists.

ACL / Permissions

• Integrate custom ACL with JSON Paths into per NODE ACL. Allowing this way to apply permissions to individual metadata elements/paths.
• Same but needs better UI for referenced Services and Media
• Allow Metadata (rule) to trigger ACL permissions. e.g if embargo_date == bla bla = remove public access
• Allow for ACL inheritance (from parent, recursive) without hard copies.

Deployment and DevOPS

• Sync Configurations and remove non used ones for minio branch / periodic for each Drupal release
• Site-build and remove orphan blocks
• Add more utility views
• Enable JSONAPI by default on minio branch
• Create jsonapi user with jsonapi credentials for minio branch

• Natural Language processing Service via Docker
• Catmandu Docker container for large data mangling
• Update all Strawberryfield modules script.
• Drupal 8.9.9 and bumps on every module
• Drupal 9.1 and bumps on every module
• D9 readyness 😄
