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.
Deutsche Grammophon has released a striking new video performance featuring rising pianist Justus Eichhorn, delivering a soulful interpretation of Franz Liszt’s piano transcription of Franz Schubert’s famous serenade, “Ständchen” (Schwanengesang, D. 957: VII). #JustusEichhorn #DeutscheGrammophon #ClassicalMusic #PianoMusic #Schubert #Liszt #Ständchen #ClassicalPiano #Pianist #NewRelease #MusicVideo #PianoCovers #Lieder #RomanticEra #ClassicalMusicCommunity #UprightPiano #PianoLove #InstaClassical #ModernClassical #AestheticMusic https://tunitemusic.com/post/justus-eichhorn-reimagines-schuberts-standchen/
Paco de Lucía no sabía ni leer ni escribir música cuando compuso “Entre dos Aguas”. Para poder registrar sus temas en la SGAE recurrió a José Torregrosa, un músico que se encargó de transcribir la música a papel. Esto era algo muy común en el mundo del flamenco. Aprovechando esta labor de copista y transcriptor, Torregrosa se inscribió, tócate los cojones, como coautor de "Entre dos aguas" y de otras 36 obras del Maestro. Durante décadas, cobró de forma indebida el 50% de los derechos de autor generados por esas canciones creadas por Paco de Lucía. Tras años de litigios iniciados por la hija del guitarrista después de su fallecimiento, la justicia española sentenció que Paco de Lucía es el único y exclusivo autor de "Entre dos aguas" y el resto de temas en disputa. La sentencia determinó que el papel de Torregrosa se limitó exclusivamente a la transcripción musical (hacer las partituras) y la gestión administrativa. El fallo judicial obligó a los herederos del productor a devolver todas las cantidades percibidas de manera indebida por esos derechos de autor. Una familia que llevaba décadas viviendo de puta madre de la obra de Paco de Lucía. #PacoDeLucía #Flamenco #DerechosDeAutor

Zelf kijk ik niet naar de uitzendingen van de Corona Enquête Commissie, maar toen ik de transcripties ontving van @gewoonmerels brak me de klomp. Vanmiddag stuurde ik daarom een open brief — met bijlagen — aan de commissie, met het voorstel @MarionKoopmans opnieuw onder ede te horen.

Gene expression can be used to predict age and mortality 🚨 Impressive study from @gladyshev_lab @harvardmed using RNA-seq data to develop accurate transcriptomic clocks across mammalian species (inc. humans) and tissues to predict age, lifespan and mortality. A great example #GeneExpression #RNASeq #AgingResearch #US
I want the court to declare the committee's request invalid and to permanently block the publication of the recordings and transcripts of my conversations with the biographer.
A congressional panel has released transcripts of interviews with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and billionaire Ted Waitt regarding their interactions with Jeffrey Epstein; while Lutnick described uncomfortable encounters with Epstein and acknowledged visiting his Caribbean island in 2012, both men denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein or knowledge of criminal activities involving him or his alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. #EpsteinInvestigation #Justice #PublicInquiry #US #PR #BQ

Ukrainians are stunned by the court reading transcripts of texts between Andriy Yermak, until recently the country’s second most powerful man, and his fortune-teller “Veronica Feng-Shui,” in which she advises him to get rid of his enemies in the media and parliament before it’s https://t.co/wUKzAdWO6N #Ukraine #Corruption #Politics #UA
