Indexing Evaluation Lab

Indexing-first evaluation build for MDRC historical/backlog clippings and Filipiniana recent/current newspaper work. Abstracting is on hold and preserved only as a future-capable component.

01

Automated Newspaper Monitoring

Publisher-specific connectors will be enabled only after subscription access and monitoring rules are documented.

Not configured
02

Document / PDF Upload

Upload one clipping or a backlog batch. The original file is preserved while OCR/extracted text is retained as a searchable derivative with page mapping where available.

03

Manual Record Intake

Create a record when no usable digital source is available.

Evaluation Lab

Processor readiness

Backlog QA

Clipping quality screen

Screen uploaded clippings for missing metadata, unusually short text, and possible duplicates. Flags never delete records automatically.

MDRC historical indexing support

OCR correction queue

Shows OCR-backed records that still need page-level human review. Original OCR versions remain preserved.

Controlled vocabulary

Stage vocabulary

Load CSV, TSV, or JSON for structural validation and later Annif experiments. Import does not certify RL approval.

Staged vocabularies
Newspaper connector design

Non-live contract fixture

Exercise discovery metadata, human-triggered metadata promotion, and fail-closed retrieval boundaries without publisher credentials or live newspaper content.

Indexing Evaluation Lab

Development vs. gold sets

Gold sets can be frozen to prevent accidental edits after benchmark examples are agreed. Source/expectation manifests and processor-run manifests preserve reproducibility without automatically selecting a preferred processor.

MDRC full-text layer

Search searchable OCR / extracted text

Searches the current machine-readable derivative and returns the source page mapping when available. The original scan/PDF remains authoritative.
