The archive holds scans; the records moved to the corpus

Browse files

880,483 files leave this repository and none of them was a scan. 840,810 pages
of OCR, 38,725 bibliographic records, 1,743 files of plain text, the design
specs, the schemas and the `scans` tool itself — all of it describes the
facsimiles rather than being one, and all of it is now in the corpus that cites
this archive, at github.com/peasanttide/history: the records in data/, the text
in sources/, the tool in scans-tool/, the specs in docs/archive/.

Nothing was deleted that had not been verified present there first, file by
file: 38,725 of 38,725 records and 840,810 of 840,810 OCR pages. And nothing is
gone in any case — it is all in this repository's own history.

What remains is 39,324 PDFs and 94 JP2 map sheets, 137 GB, and a README that
describes them.

The split is worth stating rather than assuming. A facsimile is stable and
large; a record about it is small and gets corrected — the Hardy record was
corrected three times today. Keeping them apart means this can be mirrored,
pinned and left alone, while the description of it moves as often as it needs
to. It also means the addressing had to stop depending on where a file sits, and
it does: ids are flat, the directories here are cosmetic, and a citation
survives any reorganisation of them.

New in this commit: sources/marat, 931 PDFs and 38 GB — every surviving number
of Marat's four papers, 1789 to 1793, one PDF per issue, bound at native pixels
from the ARTFL Project's photographs of the New York Public Library set, with
Gallica supplying seven issues and one whole number that ARTFL's image server
does not have.

- description: Use when transcribing a scanned document in this archive into markdown - a Journal de Paris issue or supplement, a bound insert, a map sheet. Covers rendering the pages from the PDF, transcribing each page from the image with headings and tables preserved, proofreading, marking what could not be read, and recording the result as [[page]] and [[page.text]] entries in the document's .toml.

6
- # Transcribing a document
7
-
8
- You are producing a **faithful, readable transcription of what is printed on the paper**, one
9
- file per page, cited from the document's record.
10
-
11
- Transcribe from the **page image**. Do not paste the PDF's text layer: it is a bad OCR pass of
12
- eighteenth-century type and it invents things. `NUMÉRO 5` is in there as `NUMERO 25`, and one
13
- page reads `NUMERO 807179`. It is useful for finding a page and worthless for quoting one.
14
-
15
- ## What you produce
16
-
17
- For a document `<id>` with N pages, in the directory the record already lives in:
18
-
19
- ```
20
- <id>.p1.md … <id>.pN.md one transcription per page
21
- <id>.toml gains one [[page]] per page, each citing its .md
22
- ```
23
-
24
- Nothing else changes. The markdown is never inlined into the TOML — the design spec settles
25
- that ("Text and OCR ... never inline in TOML"), and it is what keeps the record diffable.
26
-
27
- ## The loop
28
-
29
- ### 1. Find the document
30
-
31
- ```bash
32
- ./tools/target/release/scans.exe resolve <id>
33
- ./tools/target/release/scans.exe resolve <id>.p1
34
- ```
35
-
36
- The first prints the record's path and layer; the second adds the container and the page
37
- inside it, which tells you the addressing is sound before you spend anything on it. If the
38
- binary is missing, build it — `--release`, because a debug build is roughly thirty times
39
- slower and you are about to rasterise several pages:
40
-
41
- ```bash
42
- cd tools && cargo build --release --features render
43
- ```
44
-
45
- ### 2. Render every page of the document, all three ways, before transcribing any of them
46
-
47
- ```bash
48
- ./tools/target/release/scans.exe render <id>
49
- ./tools/target/release/scans.exe render <id> --grid 2x2
50
- ./tools/target/release/scans.exe render <id> --grid 4x4
51
- ```
52
-
53
- All of it lands in `.render/`, which is gitignored. Re-running is cheap: anything already
54
- rendered is left alone.
55
-
56
- | what you get | what it is for |
57
- |---|---|
58
- | `<id>.p<n>.png` — the whole page | the **layout**: how many columns, where the rules are, which lines are headings, what order to read in |
59
- | `<id>.p<n>.r<r>c<c>.png` at `2x2` — four tiles | **reading prose**. For a two-column page the vertical boundary falls near the gutter, so `r1c1`+`r2c1` is roughly the left column and `r1c2`+`r2c2` the right |
60
- | the same at `4x4` — sixteen tiles | **anything you must get exactly right**: every numeral, table cells, the printed page number, a word you are not sure of |
61
-
62
- Render all pages up front because **a word broken across a page is rejoined on the page where
63
- it starts**, and the rest of it is on the next page's image. When a page ends mid-word, open
64
- the next page's first tile, take the rest of the word, and finish the sentence on the page
65
- that began it. Nothing is left on the following page.
66
-
67
- You will be tempted to read numbers off the whole page. Do not. A whole page is about
68
- 3500x4900 and arrives sampled down until the type is a few pixels tall — display type and
69
- table rules survive that, numerals do not. **Every digit you write down comes from a `4x4`
70
- tile.** That is what it is there for, and misreading `28. 4, 0` as `28. 4. 6` is the failure
71
- this transcription is most likely to contain.
72
-
73
- ### 3. Transcribe, one page at a time
74
-
75
- Whole page for the shape of it, `2x2` tiles for the words, `4x4` tiles for anything exact.
76
- Write `<id>.p<n>.md` beside the record. No front matter, no title you invented, no page number
77
- heading — the file is the page, and the record says which page it is.
78
-
79
- ### 4. Proofread it
80
-
81
- Read the tiles again against what you wrote. You are looking for the mistakes this task
82
- actually produces:
83
-
84
- - a word you guessed at from its shape rather than read
85
- - `f` where the paper has a long s, and the reverse
86
- - dropped accents, and accents added where the paper has none
87
- - numbers in tables transposed or shifted a column — check these at `4x4`
88
- - a line skipped where a tile boundary fell
89
-
90
- Fix what you can. Where you cannot, mark it — see *Marking what you could not read*.
91
-
92
- ### 5. When every page is done, edit the record once
93
-
94
- One edit to `<id>.toml`. See *Recording it in the .toml*.
95
-
96
- ### 6. Validate
97
-
98
- ```bash
99
- ./tools/target/release/scans.exe validate source/<path-to>/<id>.toml
100
- ```
101
-
102
- Zero errors, zero warnings. `E706` means a `[[page.text]]` names a file that is not there —
103
- usually a typo in the filename, or a `.md` written in the wrong directory.
104
-
105
- ## How to transcribe
106
-
107
- ### Transcribe, do not translate and do not modernise
108
-
109
- The text stays in its own language and its own spelling. `connoître` stays `connoître`,
110
- `étoit` stays `étoit`, `Poëme` keeps its diaeresis, `enfans` keeps no `t`. `&` stays `&` and
111
- is not expanded to `et`. Æ and œ stay ligatured. Accents are as printed, including where
112
- eighteenth-century practice differs from modern French (`théatre`, `trés`).
113
-
114
- Three things are normalised, and only these three:
115
-
116
- - **The long s.** `ſ` is transcribed `s`. It is the same letter in a different sort, not a
117
- different letter, and leaving it in makes the file unsearchable for no gain. `Ceſſer` is
118
- written `Cesser`.
119
- - **Superscripts come down to the baseline**, keeping their letters: `Sr`, `Dlle`, `Dme`,
120
- `Md`, `Cher`, `ve`, `Mgr`, and the ordinals `1er`, `2d`, `4e`, `83e`. `Nº` is written `No.`
121
- - **Spacing before punctuation is regularised** to one space before `;` `:` `?` `!`, and none
122
- before `,` or `.` — which is French practice and what the paper is doing, but the paper's
123
- spaces are thin and uneven and no two people would read them the same way twice.
124
-
125
- Editorial marks you add are in English and in square brackets, so they can never be mistaken
126
- for the document's own words.
127
-
128
- ### Preserve the structure with markdown
129
-
130
- | on the page | in the file |
131
- |---|---|
132
- | the paper's masthead, first page of an issue only | `# JOURNAL DE PARIS.` |
133
- | the issue number above it, and the date line below | bold, each on its own line |
134
- | a department heading in large caps on a line of its own — `EXTRAITS.`, `ADMINISTRATION.`, `SPECTACLES.`, `VARIÉTÉS.` | `## EXTRAITS.` |
135
- | the title of a piece, on a line of its own, under one of those | `### BELLES-LETTRES.`, `### RÉSULTAT du Conseil d'État du Roi…` |
136
- | italic in the original — titles of works, cited matter, names in some settings | `*…*` |
137
- | a ruled table | a markdown table, its caption bold on the line above |
138
- | verse | a blockquote, one printed line per line |
139
- | a footnote keyed `(1)` at the foot of a column | at the foot of the page, after a `---` |
140
-
141
- Keep the printed capitalisation of headings.
142
-
143
- **A heading occupies a line of its own.** Caps at the head of a paragraph, with the text
144
- running on from them on the same line, are text — `THÉATRE FRANÇOIS.` run into its notice is
145
- part of the notice, while `PALAIS ROYAL.` centred on its own line is a heading. This is the
146
- distinction that decides it; nothing else does.
147
-
148
- **Heading levels record how the page sets the type, not a logical hierarchy.** `###` under a
149
- `##` does not claim the piece belongs to the department above it — a notice from the register
150
- of seals set as a titled piece is `###` even when the nearest `##` is `MUSIQUE.`, because the
151
- paper gives it the same rank as every other titled piece. Do not renumber levels to build a
152
- tree the page does not have.
153
-
154
- **Do not italicise inside a heading.** The heading level carries it. `### RÉSULTAT du Conseil
155
- d'État du Roi, tenu à Versailles le 27 Décembre 1788.`, not `### *RÉSULTAT…*`.
156
-
157
- **A rule gets a `---` only when it is doing work no heading is already doing.** The rule above
158
- a footnote does; the rule between two sections with nothing else to divide them does; the
159
- short ornamental rules between spectacle notices that each already carry a heading do not.
160
-
161
- Verse is a blockquote because it is the one construction where the **line breaks are the
162
- form**, and a blockquote keeps one printed line on one line of the file without depending on
163
- a renderer honouring trailing spaces:
164
-
165
- ```markdown
166
- > O Monde ! aggrandis-toi : Copernic va paroître ;
167
- > Il paroît, il a dit, l'univers est changé.
168
- ```
169
-
170
- A table cell the original merges down several rows — one `Vent.` reading standing against
171
- three `Époques.` — goes in the **first** of those rows, and the cells below it are left empty,
172
- however many columns are merged:
173
-
174
- ```markdown
175
- | A 7 h. ½ m. | — 17, 4 | 28. 2, 9 | E. S. E. | Ciel assez beau toute la matinée. |
176
- | A 2 s. | — 9, 8 | 28. 1, 8 | | |
177
- | A 9 s. | — 9, 0 | 27. 11, 2 | | |
178
- ```
179
-
180
- Markdown cannot merge cells, and repeating the value would state three observations where the
181
- paper made one. The caption goes bold on the line above **wherever the paper puts it** — the
182
- meteorological table's caption is set rotated in the left margin inside a brace, and it still
183
- goes above.
184
-
185
- **Prose line breaks are not preserved.** A paragraph is one line in the file. A word broken
186
- across a line by a hyphen is rejoined — `impor-` + `tante.` is `importante.`
187
-
188
- **Column breaks are not marked.** The text simply continues.
189
-
190
- ### What is not part of the document
191
-
192
- Leave these out entirely:
193
-
194
- - the digitiser's watermark (`Digitized by Google`)
195
- - library stamps, shelfmarks, and accession numbers added by a holding institution
196
- - signature marks and catchwords at the foot of a leaf — binder's apparatus, not text
197
- - bleed-through from the other side of the leaf
198
-
199
- The **printed page number** is also not transcribed into the markdown. It goes in the record,
200
- as `label`. See below.
201
-
202
- ### Marking what you could not read
203
-
204
- In the markdown, in place of the text:
205
-
206
- | mark | for |
207
- |---|---|
208
- | `[illegible]` | a word or more you cannot read at all |
209
- | `[illegible: 3 words]` | when you can count what is missing |
210
- | `[unclear: Sorin]` | you have a reading but would not stake a quote on it |
211
- | `[torn]`, `[stained]`, `[cropped]` | the page itself is damaged or the scan cuts it off |
212
- | `[sic]` | the paper's own error, transcribed as printed |
213
-
214
- An editorial mark **replaces the text and its formatting both**. An italic word you cannot be
215
- sure of is `[unclear: Abraham]`, not `*[unclear: Abraham]*` — the mark is your voice, and your
216
- voice is not italic.
217
-
218
- `[sic]` is the important one: **a misprint in the original is preserved, not corrected**. If
219
- the paper prints `fauhourg` for `faubourg`, or a date that cannot be right, transcribe it as
220
- it stands, mark it `[sic]`, and say so in the note. Silently fixing the source is the one
221
- thing a transcription must never do — a proofread fixes *your* reading of the page, never the
222
- page.
223
-
224
- Then summarise the page's unresolved problems in **one line** on that page's `[[page.text]]`
225
- `note`. Omit `note` entirely when there is nothing unresolved — an empty note is noise across
226
- eight hundred pages. Good notes:
227
-
228
- ```toml
229
- note = "Foot of the second column is cropped by the scan; four lines are lost."
230
- note = "Prints \"fauhourg\" for \"faubourg\", transcribed as printed."
231
- note = "Thermometer readings in the table are faint; the second row is a best reading."
232
- ```
233
-
234
- ## Recording it in the .toml
235
-
236
- One `[[page]]` per page, in order, each with one `[[page.text]]`. Keep everything already in
237
- the file, `#:schema` first, and keep `pages = { from, to }` — the loader checks that the
238
- number of `[[page]]` entries equals the length of that range and errors if they disagree.
239
-
240

-
270
- - `n` runs `1..N`. It is the page's number **within this document**, which is what `.pN`
271
- addresses.
272
- - **`label` is read off the page and is never calculated.** It is the folio the printer set,
273
- as a string. It is *not* `pages.from`, and it is *not* `n`: `pages` counts pages of the
274
- scanned PDF, which includes leaves the printer never numbered. The example above is real —
275
- the 2 January issue occupies PDF pages 9 to 12 and is printed 5 to 8, because four
276
- unnumbered leaves open the volume. Read the corner of each page at `4x4`. If you cannot read
277
- it, omit `label` and say so in the note; do not guess it from the page before.
278
- - `kind = "transcription"`, not `ocr`. `ocr` means a machine pass nobody read.
279
- - `by` names who produced it, because the archive expects to be re-transcribed one day and
280
- needs to know which pass a page is still on.
281
- - Follow the file's existing formatting: `=` aligned within each block, `[[page]]` and
282
- `[[page.text]]` flush left, keys in the order shown.
283
-
284
- ## A worked page
285
-
286
- `example-page.md`, beside this file, is the first page of the first issue of 1789
287
- (`journal-de-paris-1789-01-01.p1`) transcribed to these rules. Read it before you start. It
288
- shows, on one page: the masthead, a caption plus a ruled table with merged cells, two heading
289
- levels, a long paragraph reassembled across a column break with its hyphenation rejoined,
290
- italics on work titles, verse as a blockquote, and a keyed footnote below a rule.
291
-
292
- ## Do not
293
-
294
- - Do not touch `id`, `of`, `layer`, `type`, `no`, `date`, `pages`, or `supplement_to`. If one
295
- of them looks wrong, say so in your report and leave it alone — those come from the ingest,
296
- and correcting one by hand hides a bug in it.
297
- - Do not transcribe a page you did not look at.
298
- - Do not summarise, abridge, or "clean up" the text. Every word on the page is in the file.
299
- - Do not skip a blank page. It still gets a `[[page]]`, or the count stops matching the range.
300
- Its file holds the single line `[blank page]`, and its text entry carries
301
- `note = "Blank page."` — an absent file is a validation error, and an empty one is
302
- indistinguishable from a transcription that was never written.

- *ALMANACH DES MUSES*, 1789. A Paris, chez *Delalain* l'aîné & fils, Libraire, rue St-Jacques, No. 240. In-12 d'environ 300 pag. ; prix 1 liv. 16 s.
32
-
33
- La plupart des esprits, pendant l'année 1788, se sont tournés vers des objets fort étrangers à la Poésie ; aussi la Notice des Ouvrages de Poésie qui termine *l'Almanach des Muses* est-elle beaucoup moins considérable qu'à l'ordinaire. Cependant le Recueil lui-même se ressent moins de cette stérilité. Il contient un grand nombre de Pièces importantes par leur étendue & par le talent qui les a produites, telles que *les États-Généraux de Cythère*, Imitation très élégante du *Congrès de Cythère* du Comte *Algarotti*, par M. le Cher *de Cubières* ; le premier Chant d'un Poëme de *Vulcain*, sur lequel M. *Pons de Verdun* a répandu beaucoup d'enjouement & d'esprit, & une grande fécondité d'imagination ; *mon Retour à Paris*, par M. le Cher *Dupuy des Islets*, qui y a rassemblé une suite de tableaux plus piquans les uns que les autres, & y a développé un talent très distingué dans l'art des vers ; *les Adieux d'un Gouverneur à son fils*, par M. *Marichal*, morceau rempli d'excellens préceptes ; une Ode pleine de noblesse & d'harmonie adressée à Mme *St-Hubert* par M. *Sorin*, qui l'a louée d'une manière digne de son talent, en évitant, avec grand soin, les lieux communs & les exclamations prétendues lyriques ; *La Construction des Hôpitaux*, Poëme de M. *Theveneau*, dont la manière paroît avoir gagné sensiblement ; *Alcippe & Lindor*, par M. *Alix*, Dialogue dans lequel un Misantrope répand les traits d'une causticité piquante sur les mœurs & les travers du siècle, &c. Mais le morceau qui, selon nous, sera le plus remarqué, tant par la grandeur du sujet que par l'élévation du ton que le Poëte y a pris, est un *Essai sur l'Astronomie*, par M. *de Fontanes* (1). Ce titre d'*Essai* est modeste : car cet Ouvrage est un véritable Poëme. L'Auteur y expose les divers systêmes astronomiques anciens & modernes, jusqu'à celui qui est universellement reconnu par les Savans pour le seul véritable. Ensuite son imagination prend ainsi l'essor à l'aspect du spectacle immense qui la frappe :
34
-
35
- > O Monde ! aggrandis-toi : Copernic va paroître ;
36
- > Il paroît, il a dit, l'univers est changé.
37
- > Seul, au centre du monde, à son poste rangé,
38
-
39
- ---
40
-
41
- (1) Cet Essai est tiré du Recueil en deux volumes, que M. *de Fontanes* doit publier incessamment.

55
-
56
- A file states only what is new. `[rights]`, `[[resp]]`, `language`, `scan.file` and the rest

- ## The tool
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
102
 
103
- The `scans` CLI is **not in this dataset** — it lives in the source repository at
104
- <https://github.com/peasanttide/scans>. What is here is the archive it produces: the records,
105
- the OCR, and the page images. Everything below describes what that tool does, for readers who
106
- want to regenerate or extend the archive.
107
 
108
- `tools/` in the source repository is a Rust crate producing the `scans` binary. One definition in
109
- `tools/src/model.rs` drives three things at once: Rust type checking, TOML deserialisation,
110
- and via `schemars` `schemas/source.json`. The schema is never hand-written, or it would
111
- drift from the validator and start lying.
112
 
113
- ```sh
114
- cd tools
115
- cargo run -- validate # the ten semantic checks
116
- cargo run -- validate --strict # warnings fail the build too
117
- cargo run -- resolve <address> # what does this citation point at?
118
- cargo run -- schema --check # has the schema drifted from the types?
119
- cargo test
120
  ```
121
-
122
- `validate` never opens an image by default — the archive holds several gigabytes of JPEG
123
- 2000. The checks that read bytes (real image dimensions, real PDF page counts) are behind an
124
- optional feature:
125
-
126
- ```sh
127
- cargo run --features probe -- validate --probe
128
  ```
129
 
130
- ## Pixels
131
-
132
- Two commands turn a citation into an image. Both take an address, so nothing ever names a
133
- page number inside a PDF by hand.
134
 
135
  ```sh
136
- cargo run --release --features render -- render journal-de-paris-1789-01-03
137
- cargo run --release --features render -- render journal-de-paris-1789-01-03.p1 --grid 2x2
138
- cargo run --release --features render -- extract journal-de-paris-1789-01-03.p1
139
  ```
140
 
141
- `render` rasterises the page. `extract` writes out the bitmaps stored on it, untouched.
142
- Output goes to `.render/` at the repository root, which is gitignored: these are derived
143
- files, reproducible at any time, and at native resolution they outweigh the PDFs.
144
 
145
- * **Resolution is native by default** the scan's own, taken from its largest embedded
146
- image. Journal de Paris pages come out around 3500x4900. `--dpi` overrides it.
147
- * **`--grid RxC` cuts the page into tiles** with `--overlap` percent of slack on the interior
148
- edges. A whole page shown to a reader that samples it down to fit is illegible type; for
149
- this paper's two-column setting, `--grid 2x2` puts roughly one half-column in each tile.
150
- * Both are behind the `render` feature, which is what pulls in the rasteriser. Build
151
- `--release`: a debug build is about thirty times slower, and it shows over 888 pages.
 
152
 
153
- `hayro` does the decoding rather than `lopdf`, because every page image in volume 1 is JBIG2
154
- and volume 2 adds JPEG 2000 plates. It is pure Rust, so there is no Ghostscript, pdfium or C
155
- toolchain to install.
156
 
157
- Each record carries a `#:schema` directive on its first line, which is what gets it validated
158
- in an editor. See `schemas/README.md` the alternative, an editor schema association, was
159
- tested and silently does nothing.
 
160
 
161
- ## Binding
162
-
163
- `render` and `extract` take pages out of a container. `pdf` goes the other way: it binds a
164
- record's loose page scans into one, embedding the images without touching a pixel.
165
-
166
- ```sh
167
- cargo run --release --features pdf -- pdf hardy-vol1
168
- cargo run --release --features pdf -- pdf hardy # every copy under the source
169
- ```
170
 
171
- Page order comes from the record's `[[page]]` array, never from sorting the directory a
172
- record is the thing that gets corrected when a leaf turns out to have been shot out of
173
- sequence, and a directory listing would ignore the correction. Page size comes from the
174
- image's own JFIF density, so the object states the physical size it really has.
 
 
175
 
176
- Gallica serves **progressive** JPEG and PDF's `DCTDecode` is specified against baseline, so
177
- each stream is transcoded through `jpegtran`, which re-emits the existing DCT coefficients
178
- sequentially. That is lossless, not a re-compression: no requantisation, no generation loss,
179
- identical decoded pixels. The claim is checked rather than trusted — every page is decoded on
180
- both sides with `zune-jpeg` and compared, and a single differing byte fails the build.
181
-
182
- The finished file is then **linearised** — first page's objects, a partial cross-reference
183
- table and a hint stream moved to the front, so a reader speaking HTTP byte ranges shows page
184
- one after a few megabytes instead of fetching the whole file. `qpdf` does that, not
185
- Ghostscript's `-dFastWebView`: Ghostscript reaches it through `pdfwrite`, which re-encodes
186
- images on the way past and would undo the whole point. Every `DCTDecode` stream is read out
187
- of both files afterwards and compared byte for byte. `--no-linearize` skips it.
188
-
189
- **Not above 2 GB, though**, and Hardy's volumes are all past it. A linearization table states
190
- its offsets as byte positions, and beyond `i32::MAX` those stop fitting in the 32-bit integer
191
- some readers hold them in. Measured on volume 1 at 2.55 GB: linearised, `hayro` — the decoder
192
- this crate's own `render` and `extract` use — reports the file as **one page**, and poppler
193
- emits 21 warnings per open before recovering through the main cross-reference table.
194
- Ghostscript is unaffected and `qpdf --check` calls the file correct, so the table is well
195
- formed; it is simply too big for those readers. The same qpdf invocation on a 12.8 MB slice
196
- of the same volume upsets nobody, which is what pins the cause to size.
197
-
198
- So above 2 GB the build says why and leaves the file alone, rather than shipping a volume
199
- that loads its first page quickly and cannot be opened by the tool that reads the archive.
200
-
201
- `jpegtran` and `qpdf` are operator tools, like `git-lfs`: install `libjpeg-turbo-progs`
202
- (Debian), `libjpeg-turbo-utils` (Fedora) or `jpeg-turbo` (Homebrew), and `qpdf`, which
203
- everyone calls `qpdf`. Neither is linked against, so the crate stays pure Rust.
204
-
205
- ## Wikimedia
206
-
207
- `wikimedia` turns a source and the copies beneath it into the edits somebody would otherwise
208
- type by hand. It opens no socket and uploads nothing: the output is files, to be read and
209
- then pasted.
210
-
211
- ```sh
212
- cargo run -- wikimedia hardy
213
- cargo run -- wikimedia hardy --work Q12345678 # once stage 1 has been run
214
- ```
215
-
216
- Three QuickStatements batches and one Commons file-description page per copy, written to
217
- `wikimedia/` beside the source record. The batches are staged because QuickStatements v1 can
218
- address a new item only as `LAST`, so one batch cannot both create a work and create the
219
- volumes that point at it; `$WORK` and `$VOLn` mark where a Q-id belongs. `--work` also
220
- rewrites stage 1 to address that item rather than create one, so it can be run again to
221
- finish an attempt that failed part way through: QuickStatements answers `Statement already
222
- exists` for what is there and adds the rest.
223
-
224
- Every property and item id lives in `wikimedia::vocab` with the label it carried when it was
225
- verified, and every generated statement prints that label in a trailing `/* … */` comment —
226
- QuickStatements' own comment syntax, which it strips and reuses as the edit summary. Property
227
- numbers are not memorable and are easy to get subtly wrong �� `P7101` is *privacy policy URL*,
228
- not *Gallica ID* — so a mistake shows up in review as a wrong word rather than a wrong number.
229
-
230
- ## OCR
231
-
232
- Word-level OCR lives in a sidecar beside the record it belongs to, one markdown file per
233
- scanned page, reached through the `[[text]]` that points at it.
234
-
235
- ```markdown
236
- ---
237
- of: 1789iemilseptcen00unse
238
- page: 6
239
- engine: ABBYY FineReader 11.0
240
- lang: fr
241
- w: 2597
242
- h: 4418
243
- dpi: 500
244
- ---
245
-
246
- <the page's text>
247
- ```
248
-
249
- Frontmatter says which page of what, and how big the image is. The body is the page. That is
250
- the whole format.
251
-
252
- **Scalars are bare unless they would lie.** `lang: fr`, not `lang: "fr"` — the frontmatter is
253
- meant to read as YAML. But `no` is the ISO 639-1 code for Norwegian and, to every YAML 1.1
254
- parser, the boolean false; a Python user loading that with PyYAML gets `False`. So a value is
255
- written bare when it round-trips as itself and quoted when it would not, which keeps the
256
- common case clean and the pathological case correct.
257
-
258
- **What is deliberately not here:** word boxes, per-word confidence, baselines, and DjVu's
259
- nesting. An earlier version carried all of it and could write the source XML back out
260
- unchanged. The boxes were seven eighths of the bytes — 8.3 GB against about 1.2 GB for the
261
- text — and were not being used. Nothing is destroyed by that: the coordinates are still in
262
- `XML_for_OCR/` in [frc-data](https://github.com/NewberryDIS/frc-data), one clone away, so a
263
- later version that wants them can have them without asking archive.org for anything.
264
-
265
- ```sh
266
- cargo run -- ocr import x_djvu.xml --out ./pages
267
- cargo run -- ocr check sources/frc/ab/abondance00unse
268
- ```
269
-
270
- ## The French Revolution Collection
271
-
272
- 38,377 Internet Archive items from the Newberry Library, listed by
273
- [NewberryDIS/frc-data](https://github.com/NewberryDIS/frc-data). Records and OCR come from a
274
- local clone of that repository; only the PDFs are fetched.
275
-
276
- ```sh
277
- git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/NewberryDIS/frc-data.git
278
- cd frc-data && git sparse-checkout set --cone Metadata XML_for_OCR && git checkout master
279
-
280
- cargo run --release -- frc ingest --frc-data ../frc-data # records + OCR, ~3 minutes
281
- cargo run --release --features fetch -- frc fetch # the PDFs, ~21 hours
282
- ```
283
-
284
- `frc fetch` makes one request at a time, a second apart, with a `User-Agent` naming this
285
- repository, and verifies every download against the size and MD5 archive.org publishes for
286
- it. It resumes from what is already on disk, so it can be killed at any moment.
287
-
288
- ## Licence
289
-
290
- The **database** — the records, the OCR sidecars, the structure and the addresses — is under
291
- the [Open Database License](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/) (ODbL 1.0). Use it,
292
- adapt it, build on it; if you publish a derived database, share it alike and keep the
293
- attribution.
294
-
295
- The **contents are a separate question, and mostly not ours to license.** Every work here is
296
- an 18th-century imprint or a 19th-century study of one, long out of copyright everywhere, and
297
- the digitisations are published as public domain by the institutions that made them. Each
298
- record says so for itself:
299
-
300
- ```toml
301
- [rights]
302
- work = "PD-old-100-expired"
303
- scan = "PD"
304
- attribution = "Digitised by the Internet Archive, sponsored by The Newberry Library."
305
- ```
306
-
307
- So: quoting a pamphlet, reprinting a page image, or lifting one item's OCR carries no
308
- obligation from us — that material is public domain and stays public domain. ODbL bites on
309
- the *collection*: the selection, the identifiers, the metadata mapping and the structured OCR
310
- taken together. That distinction is the point of using a database licence rather than a
311
- content one, and it is why the per-record `[rights]` fields are not redundant with this
312
- section.
313
-
314
- Scans and metadata originate with the [Newberry Library](https://www.newberry.org/) and the
315
- [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/), and the item list comes from
316
- [NewberryDIS/frc-data](https://github.com/NewberryDIS/frc-data).
317
-
318
- ## Design
319
-
320
- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-05-source-archive-schema-design.md` is the authority: the
321
- four layers, the inheritance allowlist, EDTF dates, and the ten validation checks, with the
322
- reasoning for each.

19
+ Facsimiles of primary sources of the French Revolution. **Scans, and nothing
20
+ else** — 39,324 PDFs and 94 JP2 map sheets, 137 GB.
21
 
22
+ The records that describe these files, the transcriptions and OCR of what is
23
+ printed on them, and the tool that fetched and bound them all live in the corpus
24
+ that cites this archive: <https://github.com/peasanttide/history>. This
25
+ repository is the bytes.
26
 
27
+ That split is the point. A facsimile is stable and large; a record about it is
28
+ small and gets corrected. Keeping them apart means the archive can be mirrored,
29
+ pinned and left alone, while the description of it moves as often as it needs to.

34
+ |---|---:|---:|---|
35
+ | `frc` | 38,377 pdf | 78 GB | the Newberry Library's French Revolution Collection, digitised by the Internet Archive. One PDF per item, sharded two deep by the item's Internet Archive identifier. |
36

44
 
45
+ ## Addressing a page
 
 
 
46
 
47
+ A file is addressed by the record that names it, over in the corpus. Ids there
48
+ are flat and never contain `/`, so **the directories here are cosmetic** and can
49
+ be reorganised without breaking a single citation:
 
50
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
51
  ```
52
+ lami-du-peuple-1790-07-01.p3 page 3 of that issue
53
+ turgot-1739.p0 the atlas key sheet
 
 
 
 
 
54
  ```
55
 
56
+ Ask the corpus what an address points at, and what is printed on it:
 
 
 
57
 
58
  ```sh
59
+ history show lami-du-peuple-1790-07-01 --page 3
 
 
60
  ```
61
 
62
+ ## How the PDFs are made
 
 
63
 
64
+ Every page is one `/DCTDecode` XObject holding the JPEG exactly as the library
65
+ served it nothing resampled, requantised or colour-converted, because the point
66
+ of an archival scan is that it is the bytes the holding institution published.
67
+ The page box comes from the image's own JFIF density, so a leaf shot at a
68
+ different size stays a different size rather than being normalised into a
69
+ uniformity the object does not have. Page order comes from the record, never from
70
+ sorting a directory: the record is what gets corrected when a leaf turns out to
71
+ have been shot twice or out of sequence.
72
 
73
+ Where a source serves progressive JPEG Gallica does each stream is re-emitted
74
+ with `jpegtran -copy all`. `-copy none` would drop the APP0 density and every page
75
+ box would become a guess.
76
 
77
+ Linearisation is skipped above 2 GB. A linearisation table states byte offsets,
78
+ and past `i32::MAX` the decoders disagree about what they are looking at: one
79
+ reports a 2.5 GB volume as a single page, another emits twenty-one warnings per
80
+ open. Two of the Hardy volumes are affected.
81
 
82
+ ## Rights
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
83
 
84
+ The works are out of copyright. The digitisations are not all offered on the same
85
+ terms, and the corpus records what each holding institution claims, unchanged,
86
+ rather than rewriting it to match what Wikimedia Commons would accept. Gallica
87
+ asserts a non-commercial restriction over its images; the Internet Archive's
88
+ Newberry scans carry no such claim. The `[[copyright]]` block on a record says
89
+ which applies to it.
90
 
91
+ Binary assets are in Git LFS.

- # Primary source & scan archive — schema design
2
-
3
- Status: approved design, not yet implemented
4
- Date: 2026-08-05
5
-
6
- ## Purpose
7
-
8
- This repository is an archive of primary sources from the French Revolution and the
9
- scans of them. Its product is **stable, citable addresses**. Structured facts and
10
- translations live in a separate repository, which cites into this one. Everything in
11
- this schema exists to make those addresses resolvable, unambiguous, and correct.
12
-
13
- The game consumes three things through those addresses: pixels (crops, map tiles),
14
- OCR'd text, and quotes with citations.
15
-
16
- ## Diagnosis of the current layout
17
-
18
- The existing tree works but does not scale, for three specific reasons.
19
-
20
- **`kind` mixes three dimensions into one field.**
21
-
22
- | current `kind` value | what it actually says |
23
- |---|---|
24
- | `newspaper`, `map` | genre of the publication |
25
- | `volume` | this is a physical object |
26
- | `issue`, `supplement` | type of the intellectual unit |
27
-
28
- The chain of `of = ...` therefore looks uniform while meaning something different at
29
- every level.
30
-
31
- **A layer is missing.** The Lausanne bound volume — shelfmark 1094184846, scanned by
32
- Google, front matter trimmed — is not the same thing as "Journal de Paris, 1789,
33
- volume 1" the publication. One is paper in Switzerland; the other is an editorial
34
- fact. `journal-de-paris-1789-vol1.toml` fuses them, which is why it carries a prose
35
- comment explaining that its page numbers are off by one. That comment is a schema gap.
36
-
37
- **Inherited data is copied by hand.** Every issue file repeats its parent's licence,
38
- attribution, and source PDF. Every Turgot sheet file repeats the author, date,
39
- licence, and attribution of the atlas. `author = "Louis Bretez (survey and drawing);
40
- Claude Lucas (engraving); Aubin (lettering)"` is a string no program can parse,
41
- duplicated 21 times.
42
-
43
- ## Settled decisions
44
-
45
- These were decided during design and are not open:
46
-
47
- 1. **Four layers**: `source`, `copy`, `document`, `page`.
48
- 2. **Flat ids.** Ids never contain `/`. `journal-de-paris-1789-vol1`, not a path.
49
- 3. **One file per document.** File grain stays as it is today; the fix for
50
- repetition is inheritance, not consolidation.
51
- 4. **Pages are not entities.** They get no ids of their own, no special naming
52
- scheme, and no files of their own. A page is declared inline as `[[page]]` and
53
- addressed as `<id>.p<n>`.
54
- 5. **`.pN` is document-local.** `n` is scoped to the document that declares it.
55
- 6. **EDTF dates** (ISO 8601-2:2019), always quoted strings, always Gregorian.
56
- 7. **Every page states both its numbers**; counting is the default; the validator
57
- errors when the numbers do not fit.
58
- 8. **All sources live under `source/`.**
59
-
60
- Rejected along the way: text-span and named-region citation grain (too much
61
- bookkeeping for the benefit); consolidating many documents into one file per volume;
62
- a flat relational layout; Republican-calendar machinery.
63
-
64
- ## The model
65
-
66
- ### Four layers
67
-
68
- Named after TEI equivalents where TEI has a good word.
69
-
70
- | `layer` | TEI analogue | what it is | example id |
71
- |---|---|---|---|
72
- | `source` | `teiCorpus` / `sourceDesc` | the publication or work, independent of any copy | `journal-de-paris` |
73
- | `copy` | `witness` / `msDesc` | one physical object that was digitized | `journal-de-paris-1789-vol1` |
74
- | `document` | `msItem` | the citable intellectual unit | `journal-de-paris-1789-01-03` |
75
- | `page` | `surface` | one scanned side, carrying graphics | addressed `…-01-03.p1` |
76
-
77
- `graphic` (TEI `<graphic>`) is an image file. `zone` (TEI `<zone>`) is a rectangle on
78
- a page, available for crops but not required.
79
-
80
- Two words were deliberately retired. **`collection`** is already taken in TEI, where
81
- `<collection>` means the named collection *within a holding repository* ("the David
82
- Rumsey Map Collection") — using it for the publication burns the word needed to record
83
- where a copy is held. **`issue`** is a serials word that cannot honestly describe a map
84
- sheet, a play, or a letter; it is one `type` of `document`, not the category itself.
85
-
86
- ### Two structural fields replace `kind`
87
-
88
- - **`layer`** — which of the four. Closed set, structural, always stated.
89
- - **`type`** — genre within the layer. `newspaper`/`map`/`diary` on a source;
90
- `issue`/`supplement`/`sheet`/`letter`/`play`/`engraving` on a document.
91
-
92
- `type = "issue"` is no longer ambiguous because `layer = "document"` has already said
93
- what kind of thing is being typed.
94
-
95
- ### Layers may be skipped
96
-
97
- `of` points at *any* ancestor, not necessarily the layer directly above. When a layer
98
- is skipped, its fields collapse into the nearest declared ancestor.
99
-
100
- This is load-bearing, not a convenience. Most sources in this archive are one-off
101
- engravings and pamphlets, and they must not pay four files of ceremony. Journal de
102
- Paris genuinely needs the `copy` layer — two volumes, two shelfmarks, two PDFs, 181
103
- issues sharing one file. Turgot does not: one atlas, one digitization, so the Rumsey
104
- information sits on the source and pages address as `turgot-1739.p0`.
105
-
106
- The four layers are a vocabulary, not a required depth.
107
-
108
- ## Identity and addressing
109
-
110
- - Every `source`, `copy`, and `document` has an `id`.
111
- - `id` defaults to the filename stem and must be globally unique across the repo.
112
- - Ids never contain `/`; `:` and `.` are reserved as separators.
113
- - Pages have no `id`. A page is `<owner-id>.p<n>` where `n` is the page's `n` field
114
- within the document (or other owner) that declares it.
115
-
116
- ```
117
- journal-de-paris-1789-01-03 a document
118
- journal-de-paris-1789-01-03.p1 its first page
119
- turgot-1739.p0 the atlas key sheet
120
- ```
121
-
122
- Because ids are flat and location-independent, **directories are cosmetic**. Folders
123
- may be reorganized at any time without breaking a single citation in the consuming
124
- repository. The `1789/01/03/` tree exists because it is pleasant to browse.
125
-
126
- The per-sheet `turgot_NN.toml` and `verniquet_NN.toml` files are folded into their
127
- source files and deleted, so underscores survive only on the `.jp2` filenames — where
128
- they are harmless, since a graphic is named explicitly by `graphic.file` and nothing
129
- parses it. The 94 image files are not renamed; they are in LFS and their names carry no
130
- meaning.

206
-
207
- ### Document
208
-
209
- Terse form, which is what 99% of issues will use:
210
-
211
- ```toml
212
- id = "journal-de-paris-1789-01-03"
213
- layer = "document"
214
- of = "journal-de-paris-1789-vol1"
215
- type = "issue"
216
- no = 3
217
- date = "1789-01-03"
218
- pages = { from = 13, to = 16 }
219
- ```
220
-
221
- `pages = { from, to }` expands by counting into four pages: `n` = 1…4, graphic page =
222
- 13…16, graphic file inherited from the copy's `scan.file`. Nothing is repeated from the
223
- parent.
224
-
225
- Supplements point at an id rather than a bare integer:
226
-
227
- ```toml
228
- id = "journal-de-paris-1789-01-03-supplement"
229
- layer = "document"
230
- of = "journal-de-paris-1789-vol1"
231
- type = "supplement"
232
- supplement_to = "journal-de-paris-1789-01-03"
233
- date = "1789-01-03"
234
- pages = { from = 17, to = 20 }
235
- ```
236
-
237
- A one-off with no parent at all — this is the shape most of the archive will take:
238
-
239
- ```toml
240
- id = "serment-du-jeu-de-paume-1791"
241
- layer = "document"
242
- type = "engraving"
243
- title = "Le Serment du Jeu de Paume"
244
- date = "1791"
245
-
246

247

248

254

255
- height = 2800
256
-
257
- [rights]
258
- work = "PD-old-100-expired"
259
- ```
260
-
261
- ### Page
262
-
263
- **Pages are always declared inline**, as `[[page]]` within the file that owns them.
264
- There is no such thing as a page file. `page` remains one of the four layers, but it is
265
- the one layer that is never a file of its own — which means `layer` on a file is only
266
- ever `source`, `copy`, or `document`.
267
-
268
- Map sheets are the case that tempts you the other way, and they are exactly where inline
269
- pays off: Turgot's 21 sheets differ only in `n`, `title`, and their graphic, so as a
270
- single array they read as a table and diff as a table. Twenty-one files, each repeating
271
- `of` and `layer`, would show the same information as twenty-one separate diffs.
272
-
273
- ```toml
274
- # source/turgot/turgot-1739.toml — continues the source file shown above
275
-
276
- [[page]]
277
- n = 0
278
- title = "key sheet"
279
- [[page.graphic]]
280
- file = "turgot_00.jp2"
281
- width = 23964
282
- height = 16934
283
- url = "https://www.davidrumsey.com/rumsey/download.pl?image=/166/10059022.jp2"
284
-
285
- [[page]]
286
- n = 1
287
- [[page.graphic]]
288
- file = "turgot_01.jp2"
289
- width = 23964
290
- height = 16934
291
- ```
292
-
293
- Addresses are `turgot-1739.p0`, `turgot-1739.p1`, and so on. Turgot states `n = 0`
294
- explicitly because the atlas numbers its own sheets from zero; the counting default
295
- starts at 1, and any owner that numbers itself differently says so on its first page.
296
-
297
- ### Responsibility
298
-
299
- `[[resp]]` replaces the unparseable author string, stated once on the source and
300
- inherited by all 21 sheets:
301
-
302
- ```toml
303
- [[resp]]
304
- name = "Louis Bretez"
305
- role = ["surveyor", "draughtsman"]
306
- [[resp]]
307
- name = "Claude Lucas"
308
- role = "engraver"
309
- [[resp]]
310
- name = "Aubin"
311
- role = "lettering"
312
- ```
313
-
314
- ### Dates
315
-
316
- Every date field is a **quoted EDTF string**, never a TOML native date. Unquoted `1739`
317
- is a TOML integer and unquoted `1789-01-03` is a TOML local date, but `1789?`, `178X`,
318
- and `1791/1799` are neither — mixing types by how certain a date happens to be would be
319
- miserable to consume.
320
-
321
- Dates are always Gregorian. Where a document prints a Republican date, it is converted;
322
- if the conversion is uncertain, EDTF says so.
323
-
324
- | EDTF | meaning |
325
- |---|---|
326
- | `"1789-01-03"` | that day |
327
- | `"1739"` | that year |
328
- | `"1791/1799"` | interval |
329
- | `"1795~"` | approximate |
330
- | `"1789-01?"` | uncertain |
331
- | `"178X"` | unspecified digit |
332
- | `"../1789-06-30"` | open start |
333
-
334
- ### Links and identifiers
335
-
336
- `url` is the canonical landing page. `[[link]]` with a `rel` carries everything else,
337
- retiring the ad-hoc `fetch` and `index` fields. `[identifier]` holds catalogue
338
- identifiers, retiring `google_books_id`.
339
-
340
- ### Text and OCR
341
-
342
- Page-grain, matching the citation grain, and never inline in TOML:
343
-
344
- ```toml
345
- [[text]]
346
- file = "journal-de-paris-1789-01-03.p1.txt"
347
- kind = "ocr" # or "transcription"
348
- by = "tesseract 5.3 fra"
349
- lang = "fr"
350
- ```
351
-
352
- `by` exists because the archive will be re-OCR'd eventually, and the pages still on a
353
- bad pass must be identifiable.
354
-
355
- ## Inheritance
356
-
357
- A file states only what is new or different. A resolver walks the `of` chain and fills
358
- in the rest.
359
-
360
- Inheritance is an **allowlist**, not a denylist:
361
-
362
- | inherits | never inherits |
363
- |---|---|
364
- | `[rights]`, `[holding]`, `[identifier]` | `id`, `of`, `layer`, `type`, `title`, `short_title` |
365
- | `[[resp]]`, `language`, `place` | `date`, `n`, `no`, `note` |
366
- | `scan.by`, `scan.url`, `scan.file` | `scan.count`, `scan.note`, `pages`, `covers` |
367
- | | `url`, `[[link]]`, `[[page]]`, `[[text]]` |
368
-
369
- `scan.file` inherits so that a document's terse `pages = { from, to }` form knows which
370
- PDF it is indexing into. `url` and `[[link]]` do not inherit: every layer has its own
371
- landing page, and silently borrowing a parent's would misattribute it.
372
-
373
- An allowlist because the failure mode matters. An over-inherited `date` would silently
374
- stamp every issue with `1789` and nothing would error.
375
-
376
- Merge semantics:
377
-
378
- - **Scalars** — child wins.
379
- - **Tables** — merged key by key; child's key wins.
380
- - **Arrays** (`[[resp]]`, `[[graphic]]`) — child **replaces** wholesale
381
- rather than appending. Replacement is chosen so a wrong inherited value is always
382
- correctable; restate the entries worth keeping, or write `resp = []` to clear.
383
-
384
- ## Pages and graphics
385
-
386
- Every page states two numbers, and there is no arithmetic anywhere:
387
-
388
- - `page.n` — what page it is, within its document. This is what `.pN` matches.
389
- - `graphic.page` — what page it is within the graphic file. Omitted when the graphic
390
- is a standalone image rather than a multi-page container.
391
-
392
- ```toml
393
- [[page]]
394
- n = 1
395
- [[page.graphic]]
396
- file = "journal-de-paris-1789-vol1.pdf"
397
- page = 13
398
- ```
399
-
400
- **If not specified, assume counting.** `pages = { from = 13, to = 16 }` expands to
401
- `n` = 1,2,3,4 against graphic pages 13,14,15,16. A page that omits `n` continues the
402
- count from the previous page.
403
-
404
- **The validator errors when the counting does not fit** — a range whose length
405
- disagrees with an explicit page list, a graphic page beyond the copy's `scan.count`, a
406
- duplicated `n`. Counting is a convenience, never a guess that is allowed to stand.
407
-
408
- ## Validation
409
-
410
- The linter is load-bearing here, because document-local `.pN` addressing was chosen
411
- knowing it gives up eyeball-verifiable citations. These checks buy that back:
412
-
413
- 1. Ids globally unique; every `of` resolves; no cycles in the `of` chain.
414
- 2. Child `layer` at or below parent's, in the order `source` > `copy` > `document` >
415
- `page`.
416
- 3. `n` unique within its owner.
417
- 4. **Sibling documents' `pages` ranges do not overlap** within a copy.
418
- 5. Every `pages` range fits inside the copy's `scan.count`.
419
- 6. Every `date` parses as EDTF, and a document's date falls inside its copy's `covers`
420
- interval.
421
- 7. Every `graphic.file` exists on disk, and `width`/`height` match the real file.
422
- 8. Cross-references (`supplement_to`, and similar) resolve to existing ids.
423
- 9. Counting expansions fit, per the rule above.
424
- 10. Gap report: missing issue numbers in a serial's expected run.
425
-
426
- Checks 4 and 6 catch the error class that is no longer visible by eye — an issue whose
427
- pages silently overlap its neighbour, or one filed under the wrong volume.
428
-
429
- ## Migration
430
-
431
- The existing 99 TOML files are mechanically convertible; nothing needs re-research.
432
-
433
- An earlier draft of this spec claimed 516, on the mistaken belief that the Journal de Paris
434
- daily issues had been transcribed. They have not. The archive holds 3 Journal de Paris
435
- records (the serial and its two volumes), 22 Turgot (atlas + 21 sheets) and 74 Verniquet
436
- (atlas + 73 sheets). The `1789/MM/DD/` directories exist but are empty — a walk of the
437
- directory tree looks populated, which is where the wrong number came from. Entering the
438
- issues is data work still to be done, and the schema is built to receive it.
439
-
440
- 1. Move everything under `source/`.
441
- 2. Add `layer` to every file; split the current `kind` value into `layer` + `type`.
442
- 3. Hoist `licence`, `attribution`, `author`, and `url` out of leaf files into the
443
- nearest ancestor that owns them; delete the copies.
444
- 4. Convert `author` strings to `[[resp]]` records. This is the one step needing
445
- judgment, and there are only a handful of distinct strings.
446
- 5. Convert `date` values to quoted EDTF.
447
- 6. Rename `source = "…vol1.pdf"` on documents to inherited `scan.file` on the copy.
448
- 7. Convert `pages = "13-16"` to `pages = { from = 13, to = 16 }`.
449
- 8. Fold the 21 `turgot_NN.toml` and 73 `verniquet_NN.toml` files into `[[page]]`
450
- arrays in `turgot-1739.toml` and `verniquet-1795.toml`, then delete them. Each
451
- contributes `n`, `title`, and one `[[page.graphic]]` carrying `file`, `width`,
452
- `height`, and `url`; their repeated `author`, `date`, `licence`, `attribution`,
453
- and `of` are dropped as inherited. The `.jp2` files are not renamed.
454
- 9. Run the validator; fix what it finds.
455
-
456
- ## Deliberately excluded
457
-
458
- - **Zones/crops as first-class citable entities.** A crop is a page plus a rectangle;
459
- the page is the stable address and the rectangle is the consumer's business. `zone`
460
- is available but nothing requires it.
461
- - **Structured facts, entities, and translations.** These live in the consuming
462
- repository and cite into this one.
463
- - **Text spans.** Citation grain is the page.
464
- - **Generated titles.** Titles stay hand-written strings for now; a `title_pattern`
465
- on the parent is a possible later optimization, not part of this design.
466
- - **Standalone page files.** An earlier draft let a page be either inline or its own
467
- file. With Turgot and Verniquet inline, nothing in the archive used the file form,
468
- so it was removed rather than left as an unused second code path. Reinstating it
469
- later costs one loader branch.
470
-
471
- ## Open question for review
472
-
473
- "All sources go in a source subfolder" is implemented above as a single top-level
474
- `source/` directory containing `journal-de-paris/`, `turgot/`, `verniquet/`, and
475
- `engravings/`. If the intent was instead that each source keeps its own folder at the
476
- repo root (already true today), that changes step 1 of the migration only.

- # The Newberry French Revolution corpus — ingest, and a TOML format for OCR
2
-
3
- Status: implemented
4
- Date: 2026-08-07
5
- Revised: 2026-08-07, after the design met the corpus. The corrections are marked
6
- **Corrected** and the original claim is stated alongside, because most of them were
7
- wrong in a way worth remembering.
8
-
9
- ## Purpose
10
-
11
- Bring the Newberry Library's French Revolution Collection into this archive: 38,377
12
- Internet Archive items of French pamphlets, mostly 1789–1799, listed by
13
- [NewberryDIS/frc-data](https://github.com/NewberryDIS/frc-data). For each item, hold the
14
- scanned PDF and the word-level OCR, addressed the same way as everything else here.
15
-
16
- That is a factor of roughly seven thousand more records than the archive currently holds.
17
- The design is shaped almost entirely by that number.
18
-
19
- ## What frc-data actually is
20
-
21
- **Corrected.** The first draft of this said frc-data held no XML OCR, and that the
22
- coordinate-bearing OCR would have to be fetched from archive.org. That was wrong, and it
23
- was wrong because GitHub's tree API silently truncates: it returned 72,499 entries with
24
- `"truncated": true`, and the counts happened to add up so neatly against two directories
25
- that the third was never missed. `git ls-tree` on a blobless clone gives the real list.
26
-
27
- There are four directories, and each of the three that matter holds exactly 38,377 files:
28
-
29
- | directory | contents |
30
- | --- | --- |
31
- | `Metadata/*_meta.xml` | 38,377 Internet Archive metadata records |
32
- | `XML_for_OCR/*_djvu.xml` | 38,377 DjVu XML files — **word-level OCR with coordinates** |
33
- | `OCR_text/*_djvu.txt` | 38,377 plain-text OCR files |
34
- | `IA_pamphlets-1560-1660-marc_records/` | one 3.5 MB MARC file for a different collection |
35
-
36
- So frc-data supplies the item list, the catalogue metadata **and the OCR**. Only the PDFs
37
- have to be fetched.
38
-
39
- That changes the crawl from about 115,000 requests to about 77,000, and saves archive.org
40
- 11 GB of egress for bytes that are already sitting in a git repository. Given that "be
41
- respectful of rate limits" was the constraint, this is not a small correction.
42
-
43
- ## Scale, measured
44
-
45
- Sampled across three items and extrapolated by OCR-text size, which tracks page count
46
- closely:
47
-
48
- | | |
49
- | --- | --- |
50
- | items | 38,377, all with OCR |
51
- | PDFs | ~63 GB, still an estimate — the fetch has not finished |
52
- | `XML_for_OCR` in frc-data | 11 GB **measured** |
53
- | the same OCR as markdown | ~1.2 GB — text only, no coordinates |
54
- | HTTP requests | ~77,000, all of them for PDFs |
55
- | wall time at one request per second | ~21 hours |
56
-
57
- The wall time is the governing constraint. This is a pipeline that runs for days and is
58
- killed and resumed many times, not a script that is run once.
59
-
60
- ## Decisions
61
-
62
- ### One IA item becomes one `source` record
63
-
64
- `layer = "source"`, with `copy` and `document` collapsed in, exactly as `pellet-1873` and
65
- `turgot-1739` already do. A pamphlet is a single work, digitised once, and paying three
66
- files of ceremony for it would produce 115,000 files to describe 38,377 pamphlets.
67
-
68
- `type` comes from `mediatype` and `physical_description`: `pamphlet` under ~50 pages,
69
- `book` above, `periodical` where the metadata says so.
70
-
71
- ### Ids are the bare Internet Archive identifier
72
-
73
- `abondance00unse`, not `frc-abondance00unse`. The identifier is already globally unique
74
- and stable, and it is what every other system cites. Prefixing would add nine characters
75
- to 38,377 addresses to solve a collision problem that does not exist — the existing
76
- hand-curated ids are all of the form `name-year`, which no IA identifier matches.
77
-
78
- ### Directories are sharded two deep by identifier prefix
79
-
80
- ```
81
- sources/frc/ab/abondance00unse/
82
- abondance00unse.toml
83
- abondance00unse.pdf
84
- abondance00unse.ocr.toml
85
- ```
86
-
87
- ~700 shard directories of ~55 items each. The README's promise that "directories are
88
- cosmetic" is what makes this free: no address changes if the sharding is ever redone.
89
-
90
- A single flat directory of 38,377 entries was rejected — not because git minds, but
91
- because `ls`, tab completion, and the editor's file tree all become unusable.
92
-
93
- ### The OCR sidecar attaches through the existing `[[text]]` table
94
-
95
- No new top-level table. `[[text]]` already means "OCR or transcription, never inline",
96
- which is exactly what this is:
97
-
98
- ```toml
99
- [[text]]
100
- file = "abondance00unse.ocr.toml"
101
- kind = "ocr"
102
- by = "ABBYY FineReader 11.0"
103
- lang = "fr"
104
- ```
105
-
106
- ## The OCR format
107
-
108
- **Superseded twice.** It was TOML carrying packed word-level arrays when this was written; it
109
- is now markdown with YAML frontmatter carrying no coordinates at all. Both changes were at the
110
- repository owner's direction, and the second is the larger one.
111
-
112
- ### Where it landed
113
-
114
- One file per scanned page, `<id>.pN.ocr.md`:
115
-
116
- ```markdown
117
- ---
118
- of: 1789iemilseptcen00unse
119
- page: 6
120
- engine: ABBYY FineReader 11.0
121
- lang: fr
122
- w: 2597
123
- h: 4418
124
- dpi: 500
125
- ---
126
-
127
- <the page's text>
128
- ```
129
-
130
- Frontmatter says which page of what and how big the image is; the body is the page. That is
131
- the whole format.
132
-
133
- ### What was dropped, and what that costs
134
-
135
- Gone: word boxes, per-word confidence, baselines, region background colours, and the `brk`
136
- encoding that reconstructed DjVu's four levels of nesting in one byte per word. With them goes
137
- the losslessness claim and `scans ocr export`, which existed to make that claim executable.
138
-
139
- The reason is proportion. The coordinates were about seven eighths of the bytes — 8.3 GB
140
- against roughly 1.2 GB for the text — and nothing was reading them.
141
-
142
- **Nothing is destroyed.** The coordinates are in `XML_for_OCR/` in frc-data, which is one
143
- clone away and needs no request to archive.org. Reinstating them is a change to
144
- `tools/src/djvu.rs` and a re-run of `frc ingest`, not a re-fetch.
145
-
146
- ### The per-page split
147
-
148
- Before the coordinates were dropped, one file per *item* put a 3,378-page bound run of nine
149
- volumes into a single 49 MB text file. Splitting per page fixed that, and kept two properties
150
- worth naming even now that files are small:
151
-
152
- - `<id>.pN` matches the address grammar the archive already uses for pages.
153
- - The body needs no `## Page N` headings, so nothing in the OCR can be mistaken for a
154
- delimiter. The per-item version had to carve the body back up by markers the OCR could in
155
- principle contain.
156
-
157
- ### Bare scalars, and the YAML version that matters
158
-
159
- Values are written bare — `lang: fr` — because the frontmatter is meant to read as YAML.
160
-
161
- The hazard is that `no` is the ISO 639-1 code for Norwegian and, in **YAML 1.1**, the boolean
162
- false. `serde_norway` implements **1.2**, where it is already a string, so a round-trip check
163
- against this crate's own parser passes it. That check is not the right bar: PyYAML, libyaml,
164
- Psych and gopkg.in/yaml.v2 are all 1.1, and this data is published for their tools rather than
165
- ours. So there is an explicit 1.1 deny-list *and* a round-trip check, and a test asserts that
166
- every reserved word survives as the string it was.
167
-
168
- ## New record fields
169
-
170
- **Corrected.** The draft proposed a fourth, an `[ocr]` table pointing at the sidecar. It
171
- was not needed: `[[text]]` already means "OCR or transcription, never inline", which is
172
- exactly what a sidecar is. Three remain, each justified independently of this ingest:
173
-
174
- | field | why |
175
- | --- | --- |
176
- | `subject` — array of strings | 38,377 pamphlets are unusable without subject access. LCSH terms, from IA's `<subject>`. |
177
- | `extent` — string | The bibliographic collation, `"7 p. ; 18 cm."`, verbatim. Distinct from `scan.count`, which counts scanned images including covers. |
178
- | `scan.ppi` — integer | The scan's own resolution. `render` currently infers native resolution from the largest embedded image; this states it. |
179
-
180
- `subject` and `extent` go on all three record variants and do not inherit. `ppi`
181
- inherits, like the rest of `[scan]` except `count` and `note`.
182
-
183
- ## Metadata mapping
184
-
185
- | IA field | record |
186
- | --- | --- |
187
- | `title` | `title` |
188
- | `date`, `dfate` (a real IA typo, present in some records) | `date`, as EDTF |
189
- | `creator`* | `[[resp]]`; a trailing `, printer` inside the name becomes `role` |
190
- | `publisher` | `place` (before the first ` : `) and a `[[resp]]` with `role = "publisher"` |
191
- | `language` | `language`, ISO-639-2 → BCP-47 (`fre` → `fr`) |
192
- | `contributor`, `call_number`, `collection` | `[holding]` repository, shelfmark, collection |
193
- | `identifier`, `identifier-ark`, `openlibrary_edition`, `openlibrary_work` | `[identifier]` |
194
- | `link_to_catalog`, `identifier-access` | `[[link]]` with `rel` `catalogue`, `viewer` |
195
- | `imagecount`, `ppi`, `scanner`, `camera`, `scandate`, `scanningcenter` | `[scan]` |
196
- | `subject`* | `subject` |
197
- | `physical_description` | `extent` |
198
- | `description`*, `notes`, `citation` | `note` |
199
- | `sponsor` | `rights.attribution` |
200
-
201
- Rights are constant across the corpus: the works are of the 1790s and long out of
202
- copyright; the digitisation is the Newberry's, sponsored and public.
203
-
204
- ## The pipeline
205
-
206
- A new `scans fetch` subcommand, behind a `fetch` feature so the default build stays free
207
- of an HTTP stack.
208
-
209
- **Resumability** is the first requirement, not an afterthought. **Corrected:** the draft
210
- specified a JSONL ledger. There is none. An item is done when its file is on disk, which is
211
- the whole resume condition — a ledger would be a second source of truth that can fall out
212
- of step with the tree it describes, bought at the price of a file to keep consistent.
213
- Downloads are written to `.pdf.part` and renamed, so a run killed mid-download cannot leave
214
- a half PDF that the next run mistakes for a finished one.
215
-
216
- **Politeness** is the second:
217
-
218
- - one request in flight at a time, minimum interval configurable, default 1s
219
- - a `User-Agent` naming the project and its repository, so the operator can be contacted
220
- - `Retry-After` honoured on 429 and 503
221
- - exponential backoff on 5xx, capped, then the item is parked rather than blocking the queue
222
- - `--limit` and `--since` so a run can be bounded
223
-
224
- **Verification**: every download is checked for size and MD5 against the values in the
225
- item's IA metadata before it is accepted. A truncated PDF must not be committed and then
226
- believed.
227
-
228
- **Disposal**: `_djvu.xml` is converted to `.ocr.toml` and deleted. Keeping both would
229
- double 12 GB to hold the same facts twice, and the TOML is the archival form.
230
-
231
- ### Storage
232
-
233
- | what | where | why |
234
- | --- | --- | --- |
235
- | `*.pdf` | Git LFS | ~63 GB, already compressed, no benefit from packfiles |
236
- | `*.ocr.toml` | plain git | text, packs about 5:1; LFS would bill for the full 7 GB |
237
- | `*.toml` records | plain git | small |
238
-
239
- 63 GB of LFS exceeds GitHub's free tier and needs data packs on the remote before the
240
- first push. Pushing proceeds in commits of a few hundred items rather than one enormous
241
- commit, so an interrupted push loses minutes rather than days.
242
-
243
- ## Validation
244
-
245
- Check 11, four codes:
246
-
247
- - **E708** a `[[text]]` pointing at a sidecar that is not there
248
- - **E709** a sidecar that is not valid TOML for the OCR model
249
- - **E710** a sidecar whose `of` names a record other than the one pointing at it
250
- - **E711** any of the internal inconsistencies in `ocr::Problem` — arrays of unequal length,
251
- `box` not exactly four per word, `region-bg` not one per region, `text` that disagrees
252
- with `word` and `brk`
253
-
254
- **Corrected.** The draft said these "run over the whole archive by default, since they read
255
- only TOML". That reasoning was wrong: the distinction is not TOML versus bytes, it is how
256
- many gigabytes of them there are. Parsing 8 GB of sidecars turns `validate` from a
257
- 2.3-second command into a 2m37s one. E708 is a `stat` and runs always; everything that has
258
- to parse a sidecar is behind `--probe`, for exactly the reason the image checks are.
259
-
260
- Result on the full corpus: 38,715 records, **0 errors, 0 warnings** by default, and 0 errors
261
- with `--probe` across all 38,377 sidecars.
262
-
263
- One further correction fell out of the first full run: `id_is_preferred` treated `_` as
264
- outside house style, which made 1,263 warnings out of identifiers like `procesverbal00_1_0`
265
- and `case_oversize_frc_27598`. Those are the handles archive.org publishes and everyone else
266
- cites. Underscore is now a group separator alongside hyphen — 1,263 warnings a reader cannot
267
- act on is how a warning channel stops being read.
268
-
269
- ## Testing
270
-
271
- - djvu.xml → TOML → djvu.xml round-trip over a sample of real fetched items
272
- - the `brk` encoder and decoder, against hand-built nestings including the degenerate
273
- cases: an empty page, a page of one word, a word containing a space
274
- - metadata mapping over a fixture set chosen for awkwardness: missing `date`, the `dfate`
275
- typo, multiple `creator` entries, a creator with an embedded role, no `publisher`
276
- - ledger resume: interrupt mid-run, restart, confirm no item is fetched twice and none is
277
- skipped
278
- - rate limiter timing, with a clock injected rather than by sleeping
279
-
280
- ## Deliberately not done
281
-
282
- - **No `copy` or `document` layer per item.** Revisit only if an item turns out to bind
283
- several distinct works, which the metadata does not currently distinguish.
284
- - **No text search index.** Grep over 7 GB is adequate; a real index is a different
285
- project with a different lifetime.
286
- - **No re-OCR.** ABBYY 11 on 500 ppi scans of worn 18th-century type is mediocre, and
287
- visibly so in the confidence figures. Improving it is worth doing and is not this.
288
- - **No MARC ingest.** The 3.5 MB MARC file covers a different, earlier collection
289
- (1560–1660 pamphlets) than the one being ingested.

- # Hardy: volume PDFs and Wikimedia records
2
-
3
- 2026-08-14
4
-
5
- Hardy's journal arrived from Gallica as 4,230 loose JPEGs across eight directories. This
6
- turns each volume into one PDF without touching a pixel, and writes the Wikidata and Commons
7
- metadata needed to publish them.
8
-
9
- Two products, independent of each other:
10
-
11
- * `sources/hardy/volN/hardy-volN.pdf` — one PDF per volume, carrying the Gallica JPEGs. Each
12
- sits beside the record that describes it, which is where every other container in this
13
- archive already lives.
14
- * `sources/hardy/wikimedia/` — three staged QuickStatements batches and eight Commons file
15
- pages, all generated from the records rather than typed.
16
-
17
- ## The PDF
18
-
19
- ### Why a PDF at all
20
-
21
- The archive already holds the pages, and a PDF adds nothing a reader could not get from the
22
- directory. What it adds is a *single addressable object*: something to hand to Commons, to
23
- cite, to hash. Volume 1 is 658 files and one boundary; as a PDF it is one file and the same
24
- boundary, and the ordering — which leaf follows which — stops being a filename convention
25
- and becomes structure.
26
-
27
- The order comes from the `[[page]]` list in `hardy-volN.toml`, not from sorting the
28
- directory. Those are the same today. They are the same today *because* the records were
29
- generated in fetch order, and a record is the thing that gets corrected when a leaf turns out
30
- to have been shot twice or out of sequence. Reading the directory would silently ignore such
31
- a correction.
32
-
33
- ### Native pixels, unmodified
34
-
35
- Every page is embedded as a `/DCTDecode` image XObject. Nothing is resampled, nothing is
36
- requantised, no colour is converted. Sampling all eight volumes finds one format throughout:
37
-
38
- ```
39
- SOF2 progressive · 1 component · 8 bit · JFIF density 400x400 dpi
40
- ```
41
-
42
- `MediaBox` is therefore `width/400 x height/400 x 72` points — about 725 x 1098 for a typical
43
- leaf, which is roughly A2. Page geometry varies leaf to leaf and the PDF preserves that
44
- rather than normalising to a common box: the scans genuinely differ, and flattening them
45
- would assert a uniformity the object does not have.
46
-
47
- `[dimensions]` on the copy record says the volume measures 355 x 235 mm. The scan at 400 dpi
48
- works out to about 387 x 256 mm, some nine per cent larger in both axes, which is the shot
49
- including a margin of surround beyond the leaf. The record's figure describes the manuscript;
50
- the PDF's describes the photograph. Neither is corrected against the other.
51
-
52
- ### Progressive JPEG is the problem
53
-
54
- `DCTDecode` is specified against baseline JPEG. Gallica serves progressive. A progressive
55
- stream dropped into `DCTDecode` is off-spec, and whether it renders is a property of the
56
- reader rather than of the file.
57
-
58
- Measured, not assumed: poppler and Ghostscript both decode it correctly. That is most
59
- readers in practice, and Ghostscript in particular is what Commons thumbnails PDFs with. It
60
- is still off-spec, and a file that depends on the reader being lenient is not an archival
61
- object.
62
-
63
- So each stream is transcoded progressive to baseline before it is embedded. This is
64
- **lossless**: `jpegtran` entropy-decodes the scans to DCT coefficients and re-emits them
65
- sequentially. The coefficients are not touched, so there is no requantisation and no
66
- generation loss — the decoded pixels are identical, bit for bit. Only the arrangement of the
67
- bits describing them changes.
68
-
69
- That claim is checked rather than trusted. The builder decodes both the source JPEG and the
70
- stream it is about to embed, compares the raster, and fails on any difference. A silent
71
- change to 4,230 pages of manuscript is exactly the failure worth paying a decode for.
72
-
73
- `jpegtran` is invoked with `-copy all`, not `-copy none`. Dropping the APP segments would
74
- drop the JFIF density in APP0, and that density is where the page's physical size comes from;
75
- without it every `MediaBox` would be a guess.
76
-
77
- ### Linearised, so the first page arrives first
78
-
79
- Written straight out, a PDF's cross-reference table is at the end and its pages are in
80
- whatever order they were emitted. A reader wanting page one of a 2.5 GB volume must therefore
81
- fetch the whole file. Linearising moves the first page's objects, a partial cross-reference
82
- table and a hint stream to the front, so a viewer speaking HTTP byte ranges renders page one
83
- after a few megabytes. These volumes are served from object storage and read over a network;
84
- without this they are technically available and practically unreadable.
85
-
86
- `qpdf --linearize --stream-data=preserve` does it. Explicitly **not** Ghostscript's
87
- `-dFastWebView`, which reaches linearisation through `pdfwrite` and re-encodes images on the
88
- way past — that would discard the losslessness the rest of this design exists to protect.
89
-
90
- The same standard applies as to the transcode: the linearizer is trusted to move objects, not
91
- to alter them, and that is checked rather than assumed. Every `DCTDecode` stream is read out
92
- of both the before and after file and compared byte for byte; one differing byte and the
93
- original is kept.
94
-
95
- #### …but not past 2 GB, which is every volume here
96
-
97
- This was implemented, run over all eight volumes, and then reverted. Recording why, because
98
- the idea is a good one and will otherwise be had again.
99
-
100
- The linearisation itself was faultless: all 4,230 image streams byte-identical afterwards,
101
- `/L` exactly equal to the real file length, `qpdf --check` reporting "File is linearized. No
102
- syntax or stream encoding errors found", and page one reachable in the first 2.6–4.2 MB of a
103
- 2.1–2.6 GB volume — a thousandfold improvement in what a reader must fetch first.
104
-
105
- It still had to go, because a linearization table states `/L`, `/T` and its hint-stream
106
- offsets as byte positions into the file, and past `i32::MAX` those no longer fit the 32-bit
107
- integer some readers keep them in:
108
-
109
- | reader | 2.5 GB plain | 2.5 GB linearised |
110
- |---|---|---|
111
- | `hayro`, which `render` and `extract` use | every page | **1 page** |
112
- | poppler | clean | 21 warnings per open; recovers via the main xref |
113
- | Ghostscript | clean | clean |
114
-
115
- The files were not malformed — Ghostscript and qpdf both accept them, and the same qpdf
116
- invocation on a 12.8 MB slice of the same volume warns from nobody, which is what identifies
117
- size rather than output quality as the cause. But breaking the decoder the archive's own tools
118
- depend on, to speed up a first-page load for the subset of readers that handle it, is a bad
119
- trade. `scans pdf` now skips linearisation above `i32::MAX` bytes and says why.
120
-
121
- The way to have both is to get under 2 GB, which means splitting volumes — considered for
122
- Commons and declined there, and declined here for the same reason: it costs the
123
- one-file-per-volume correspondence between the archive and the object.
124
-
125
- ### jpegtran and qpdf are operator tools, not dependencies
126
-
127
- The crate stays pure Rust with no C toolchain, which is a constraint the README makes a
128
- point of. `mozjpeg-sys` would satisfy the transcode and break that.
129
-
130
- Both are instead invoked as external programs, in the same category as `git-lfs` and a
131
- network connection: something the operator has when running an ingest, not something the
132
- build links against. `scans pdf` checks for both up front and says what to install if either
133
- is missing, rather than failing 400 pages in.
134
-
135
- ### Command
136
-
137
- ```sh
138
- cargo run --release --features pdf -- pdf hardy-vol1
139
- cargo run --release --features pdf -- pdf hardy # all eight
140
- ```
141
-
142
- Behind a `pdf` feature, off by default — but for a narrower reason than the other gated
143
- features. Writing the PDF needs no dependency at all: it is bytes, and this crate writes them
144
- by hand. *Verifying* the transcode needs a JPEG decoder, and `validate` must not carry one.
145
-
146
- The decoder is `zune-jpeg`, deliberately not the `djpeg` that ships beside `jpegtran`. The
147
- transcode is performed by libjpeg, so decoding both sides with libjpeg would establish only
148
- that libjpeg agrees with itself. An independent pure-Rust implementation reading both files
149
- is an actual second opinion.
150
-
151
- The argument is an address, like every other command here. `hardy` resolves to the source and
152
- builds each copy under it; `hardy-vol1` builds one.
153
-
154
- ## The Wikimedia records
155
-
156
- Nothing here talks to a network. The output is files to be reviewed and then pasted, so that
157
- every edit that lands on a public project has been read by a person first.
158
-
159
- ### Wikidata: nine items
160
-
161
- Wikidata has no item for this work, and Hardy (Q3484827) has no linked works at all.
162
-
163
- The structure mirrors the archive's own `source` / `copy` split, because the same fact
164
- pattern forces it: each volume has its own shelfmark, its own Gallica ARK, its own date range
165
- and its own folio count. Those are statements about eight different subjects, and modelling
166
- them as qualifiers on one item would make them unqueryable.

183
-
184
- Every identifier above was checked against the live API on 2026-08-14 and is recorded in
185
- `wikimedia::vocab` with the label it carried, because property numbers are not memorable and
186
- are very easy to get subtly wrong. Two were wrong on the first pass and the check caught
187
- them: `P7101` is *privacy policy URL*, not Gallica ID (that is `P4258`), and `Q174728` is
188
- *centimetre*, not millimetre (that is `Q174789`). Each generated statement line carries the
189
- property's label in a trailing comment so the same class of error shows up in review as a
190
- wrong word rather than a wrong number.
191
-
192
- `covers` is EDTF. `1764/1771` becomes P580 1764 and P582 1771, both at year precision — the
193
- `/9` suffix in a QuickStatements time value. The interval is the span the volume records, not
194
- the span of its writing, so it is start and end time rather than inception.
195
-
196
- `P1104` is the count of **digitised views**, which includes bindings and flyleaves. It is
197
- what the record knows, and it is not the same as the number of written folios. The README
198
- says so where somebody reviewing the batch will read it.
199
-
200
- P800 is added to Hardy pointing at the work, since the item currently claims no works.
201
-
202
- **Three files, not one.** QuickStatements v1 addresses a newly created item only as `LAST` —
203
- "the item the previous `CREATE` made". There is no way to say "the item created eight lines
204
- ago", so one batch cannot both create a work and create eight volumes pointing at it. The
205
- output is therefore staged, `-1-work.qs`, `-2-volumes.qs`, `-3-links.qs`, with `$WORK` and
206
- `$VOLn` where a Q-id belongs. `--work Q…` fills the first of them in. Substituting a
207
- placeholder is a visible, checkable act; guessing a Q-id is not.
208
-
209
- ### Commons: eight file pages
210
-
211
- One `.commons.wiki` per volume, to be pasted into the upload form.
212
-
213
- ```
214
- File:Hardy - Mes loisirs, volume 1 (BnF Francais 6680).pdf
215
- ```
216
-
217
- `{{Book}}` rather than `{{Information}}`: this is a bibliographic object with an author, a
218
- date range, a holding institution and a shelfmark, and `{{Book}}` has fields for all of them.
219
- `{{Institution:Bibliotheque nationale de France}}` and `{{Gallica}}` supply the source line
220
- Gallica's terms ask for.
221
-
222
- Every template and category referenced was checked for existence against the live Commons API
223
- before being emitted, which changed three things. There is no `Creator:Simeon-Prosper Hardy`
224
- page, so the author line is a plain name with `{{Q|Q3484827}}` beside it rather than a
225
- `{{Creator:…}}` that would render as a red link. `Category:Simeon-Prosper Hardy` does not
226
- exist either, but that one is emitted anyway — creating it is the normal order of operations
227
- for a new subject — with a note in the README saying so, so it does not read as a mistake.
228
- The editorial `note` from the record is English prose about a French manuscript, so it is
229
- wrapped in `{{en|…}}`: the language template declares the language of the text inside it, not
230
- of the object being described.
231
-
232
- **Licensing.** One tag doing two jobs: `{{PD-scan|PD-old-100-expired}}`. The argument covers
233
- Hardy's text — he died in 1806 — and the outer template covers the photography. Gallica
234
- asserts a non-commercial restriction over its digitisations, and Commons does not accept
235
- non-commercial licences, but it does treat faithful reproductions of two-dimensional
236
- public-domain works as public domain regardless of what the digitiser asserts. That is the
237
- settled basis on which Gallica's scans are already hosted there, and it is the position taken
238
- here. The repository's own `[rights]` block records Gallica's claim unchanged; it is not
239
- rewritten to match.
240
-
241
- The licence appears in the `== {{int:license-header}} ==` section and the `Permission` field
242
- is left empty. Stating it in both places invites the two copies to drift apart when one is
243
- edited.
244
-
245
- **File size.** Each volume lands around 2.0-2.4 GB. Commons' ceiling is 4 GB, so they fit,
246
- but not through UploadWizard, which stops at 100 MB — these need a chunked upload via
247
- pywikibot or the API. The thumbnailer may well time out on 658 pages at 4000x6000, leaving a
248
- file that is hosted but has no preview. Accepted knowingly: the full-resolution volume is the
249
- artefact worth having, and the Wikidata items stand on their own and point at Gallica's IIIF
250
- if Commons will not serve it.
251
-
252
- ## One fix picked up on the way
253
-
254
- `[holding] wikidata` exists in the schema, and its own doc comment says it "feeds a
255
- `collection` claim (P195)" — but `load::ResolvedHolding` did not carry it, so it was silently
256
- dropped during inheritance and never reached anything that could have used it. Hardy declares
257
- it once on the source, where the eight volumes should inherit it.
258
-
259
- The merge is documented as `[holding]` key by key up the chain; the struct had simply
260
- forgotten a key. Adding `wikidata` beside `repository`, `shelfmark` and `collection` restores
261
- the documented behaviour rather than changing it.
262
-
263
- ## What is not here
264
-
265
- * No OCR, and no text layer in the PDFs. The manuscript is cursive French hand; the OCR
266
- pipeline in this repository is for print and would produce noise that reads as data.
267
- * No bookmarks or outline. The dated entries inside each volume are not recorded yet, and
268
- inventing an outline from folio numbers would add no information.
269
- * No downsampled edition. It would answer the Commons thumbnail problem by re-compressing,
270
- which is the one thing this design exists to avoid.

- ## source.json is GENERATED. Do not edit it.
4
-
5
- `schemas/source.json` is derived from the Rust types in `tools/src/model.rs` via
6
- `schemars`. It is not a hand-maintained document, and editing it by hand is the one
7
- thing that must never happen here: the schema would start disagreeing with the
8
- validator that actually enforces the archive, and a schema that lies is worse than no
9
- schema, because it is believed.
10
-
11
- Regenerate it after any change to the record types:
12
-
13
- ```sh
14
- cd tools
15
- cargo run -- schema
16
- ```
17
-
18
- Verify it has not drifted — this is what CI runs, and it exits non-zero when the
19
- checked-in file differs from what the types generate:
20
-
21
- ```sh
22
- cd tools
23
- cargo run -- schema --check
24
- ```
25
-
26
- One definition in `model.rs` drives three things at once: Rust type checking, TOML
27
- deserialisation, and this JSON Schema. That is the whole point of generating it.
28
-
29
- ## What the schema describes
30
-
31
- A single archive record. It is a `oneOf` of three branches discriminated on `layer`:
32
-
33
- | `layer` | required fields |
34
- | ---------- | ----------------- |
35
- | `source` | `layer`, `title` |
36
- | `copy` | `layer`, `title` |
37
- | `document` | `layer` |
38
-
39
- `document` deliberately does not require `title` — a terse issue record has none.
40
- `layer = "page"` is not a branch and is rejected: pages exist only inline, as
41
- `[[page]]` entries inside a record, never as files of their own.
42
-
43
- Because the discriminator is a `const` on `layer`, writing `layer = "copy"` narrows
44
- both autocomplete and the required-field set to the copy branch alone.
45
-
46
- ## How a record gets validated in the editor
47
-
48
- Each record carries a `#:schema` directive as its first line, pointing at this file
49
- **relative to the record**:
50
-
51
- ```toml
52
- #:schema ../../schemas/source.json
53
- layer = "source"
54
- title = "Plan de Turgot"
55
- ```
56
-
57
- The number of `../` segments depends on the record's depth: two from
58
- `source/turgot/`, more from `source/journal-de-paris/1789/01/03/`. Whatever writes
59
- records — including `scans migrate` — must emit this line with the correct depth.
60
-
61
- The directive is the only portable mechanism, and that is a finding, not a preference.
62
- `evenBetterToml.schema.associations` cannot express a repo-relative schema path:
63
-
64
- - a relative value such as `./schemas/source.json` is resolved against an internal
65
- `root:///` base rather than the workspace, so the schema fails to load;
66
- - `${workspaceFolder}` is not expanded;
67
- - a bare Windows path like `D:/…` is parsed as a URL with the scheme `d`.
68
-
69
- In all three cases the association *matches* the document and then produces **zero
70
- diagnostics**. Nothing is reported in the editor — the failure is visible only in the
71
- extension's output channel. A committed association would therefore hand every
72
- contributor the appearance of validation and none of the substance. `.vscode/settings.json`
73
- explains this at the point of temptation.
74
-
75
- Install the extension recommended in `.vscode/extensions.json`
76
- (`tamasfe.even-better-toml`); without it, TOML files get no schema validation at all.
77
-
78
- ## Enforcing the schema outside the editor
79
-
80
- `.taplo.toml` maps `source/**/*.toml` to this schema for the
81
- [taplo](https://taplo.tamasfe.dev/) CLI, so the same rules apply in CI:
82
-
83
- ```sh
84
- # validate every archive record against schemas/source.json
85
- taplo check
86
-
87
- # if the config's globs misbehave (seen on Windows), pass the paths explicitly
88
- taplo check "source/**/*.toml"
89
-
90
- # check formatting too, without rewriting anything
91
- taplo fmt --check --diff
92
- ```
93
-
94
- Install with `cargo install taplo-cli --locked`.
95
-
96
- A full CI sequence, cheapest check first:
97
-
98
- ```sh
99
- cd tools && cargo run -- schema --check # schema matches the types
100
- taplo check # records match the schema
101
- cd tools && cargo run -- validate # the 10 semantic checks
102
- ```
103
-
104
- The schema and `scans validate` do different jobs and neither replaces the other. The
105
- schema checks the *shape* of one file in isolation — field names, types, which fields
106
- each layer requires. `scans validate` checks everything that needs more than one file
107
- or more than one field: that `of` resolves and does not cycle, that ids are unique,
108
- that page ranges fit inside `scan.count` and do not collide between siblings, that
109
- dates parse as EDTF and fall inside their copy's `covers`.
110
-
111
- ## Verification status
112
-
113
- Confirmed by driving the bundled taplo language server directly:
114
-
115
- - `schemas/source.json` parses, is a structurally valid JSON Schema
116
- (`https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema`), and its `oneOf` discriminates on
117
- `layer` via three `const` branches;
118
- - `cargo run -- schema --check` reports the checked-in file up to date;
119
- - with a `#:schema` directive, an invalid record is flagged and a valid one is clean;
120
- a `source` missing `title` is flagged, a `document` missing `title` is not, and
121
- `layer = "page"` is rejected — the per-layer discrimination genuinely works.
122
-
123
- Not verified, and stated plainly rather than assumed:
124
-
125
- - **The `taplo` CLI itself was never run.** `cargo install taplo-cli` failed here with
126
- `os error 112` — the disk holding `CARGO_HOME` is full. Every `taplo` command above
127
- is written from its documented interface, not from observed output, and the
128
- `.taplo.toml` rule syntax is unconfirmed against a real binary. Run `taplo check`
129
- once on a machine with disk space before relying on it in CI.
130
- - **The archive has not been migrated yet.** The records still live in
131
- `journal-de-paris/`, `turgot/` and `verniquet/` at the repo root, in the legacy
132
- field layout, with no `source/` directory and no `#:schema` directives. They will
133
- *not* validate against this schema, and `taplo check` currently matches no files.
134
- That is expected until `scans migrate` runs; it is not a fault in the schema.
