Hello everyone, the code for Aracne2 has been on GitHub for a few months now — a modular CMS for editing and publishing TEI corpora. A companion volume, published by FedOA Press, covers its origins, architecture and features in detail. Code (MIT): https://github.com/orazionelson/aracne2 Site and documentation: https://orazionelson.github.io/aracne2/ Volume: https://doi.org/10.6093/978-88-6887-439-1 The underlying idea is to take a corpus from raw transcription to a citable digital edition without forcing the person editing the text to become a sysadmin as well. In brief: – schema-aware XML editor, with validation per document and across a whole collection; – staged editorial workflow with versioning and a clean split between working copy and published copy; – named entities linked to authority files (Wikidata, VIAF, GeoNames, ORCID, GND and others); – bibliography with BibTeX/CSL-JSON/Zotero import and DOI resolution; – facsimiles and zones for text-image alignment; – XSLT-driven public site generator, with configurable indices and search portals; – LOD and OAI-PMH for harvesting, deposit to Zenodo, Dataverse, Internet Archive and git forges; – audit log and fixity, plus policy pages aimed at projects preparing for a CoreTrustSeal review. Architecturally, there are two distinct data layers: PostgreSQL for platform state (users, roles, plugins, audit), eXist-db for TEI documents, stored natively and queried in XQuery. Python/FastAPI backend, Vue 3 frontend, fully containerised. Every integration is a plugin that mounts without a restart, so a deployment can stay minimal or grow along with the project. The AI side is there but optional and can be switched off: in-editor assistance (explaining validation errors, normalising bibliography, tagging named entities), local RAG over the TEI P5 Guidelines, and a read-only MCP server that lets an external assistant query the corpus. Anyone who cannot or would rather not send their texts to a cloud service can run the whole thing locally with Ollama. Aracne2 is the third iteration of a line of tools that began in 2008 with MaRa, the scripts written to mark up the Angevin Registers, continued with Aracne (2016-2026, built entirely on eXist-db), and arrives at this rewrite. The FedOA Press volume reconstructs that trajectory at length. It is all free: you can download it and try it locally with a handful of commands. Aracne2 is open to experiment and ready to be put to the test on new projects — reports, criticism and proposals are all welcome.

Finland's longest serving MEP notes that if we would have known how undemocratic the EU would become (especially under @vonderleyen ), Finland would not have joined the EU. Maybe we should have a referendum on the FIXIT, @PetteriOrpo @ir_rkp @hirvelanjuho ? #EU #FIXIT #Referendum #FI #EU

Sebastian Tynkkynen kehuu omaa puolisoaan hyväksi maahanmuuttajaksi ja maalittaa ja nimittelee jotain yksityishenkilöä jonka haluaa karkoitettavaksi vaan koska ärsyttää. Näin @SebastianTyne tyydyttää sairaalloista vallanhimoaan. Tynkkystä ei kannata valita enää koskaan mihinkään tehtävään missä hän saa käyttää valtaa kansalaisten rahalla. Loppu kymmenen hengen avustajarykmentille, kansalaisten pilkkaamiselle ja erittäin huonolle ja tyhmälle Fixit- politiikalle. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #kansalaiset
