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