After some encouraging conversations following the TEI conference in Paderborn, I readied myself to offer consulting and training for digital humanists and librarians as a side business.

  • XML for Digital Humanists (XML, XSLT, ISO Schematron, RELAX NG, TEI ODD)
  • Processing and publishing library data (MARC, PICA, MODS, LIDO et al.)
  • Building and maintaining XML-based workflows
  • Developing custom solutions (modules) for VuFind®-based discovery systems
  • Salvaging DH projects that are in the danger of going awry

Feel free to get in touch!

sigh Of course a talk about discovery systems and "AI" is just personal anectodes and assuring, that "generative AI" is what users want. How convenient! And sure as well: The other half of the presentation is about the possibilities and the advanced technology of the future.

From what I understand the whole product is reselling ChatGPT with a light veneer of infrastructure.

Using an off-the-shelf software like is nice and all - but boy, oh boy, what an attack surface! All these controllers and routes exposed to the web.

Time to trim the module.conf I guess...
