1. Convert from mARkdown to EIS1600TMP with convert_mARkdown_to_EIS1600
2. Check the .EIS1600TMP and correct tagged structure
3. Mark file as ready in the Google Spreadsheet (this includes the file into our processing pipeline)
4. Optional: Run ids_insert_or_update on the checked .EIS1600TMP (or run incorporate_newly_prepared_files_in_corpus which will add IDs for all files listed as ready or double-checked).

If you need to change the tagged structure in an .EIS1600 file, you do those changes with Simple Markdown. Run ids_insert_or_update to convert the changes in Simple Markdown to EIS1600 mARkdown. Check the format of the EIS1600 file with check_formatting <path/to/file>.

1. Run incorporate_newly_prepared_files_in_corpus. This script downloads the Google Sheet and processes all ready and double-checked files:
   1. Ready files are converted from EIS1600TMP to EIS1600 and IDs are added;
   2. Formatting of ready files (now EIS1600 files) and double-checked files is checked;
   3. IDs are updated if necessary.

Files are now finalized and ready to be processed by the pipeline.

2. Run analyse_all_on_cluster. This script analysis all files prepared by the previous step:
   1. Each file is disassembled into MIUs;
   2. Analysis routine is run for each MIU;
   3. Results are returned as a JSON for each file that contains the annotated text, the populated yml and the analysis results (as df).

The JSON files are ready to be imported into our database.

You can either do the complete local setup and have everything installed on your machine. Alternatively, you can also use the docker image which can execute all the commands from the EIS1600-pkg.

Install Docker Desktop: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/

It should install Docker Engine as well, which can be used through command line interface (CLI).

To run a script from the EIS1600-pkg with docker, give the command to docker through CLI:

$ docker run <--gpus all> -it -v "</path/to/EIS1600>:/EIS1600" eis1600-pkg <EIS1600-pkg-command and its params>

Explanation:

• docker run starts the image, -it propagates CLI input to the image.
• --gpus all, optional to run docker with GPUs.
• -v will virtualize a directory from your system in the docker image.
• -v virtualized </path/to/EIS1600> from your system to /EIS1600 in the docker image. You give the absolute path to our EIS1600 parent directory on your machine. Make sure to replace </path/to/EIS1600> with the correct path on your machine! This is the part in front of the colon, after the colon the destination inside the docker image is specified (this one is fixed).
• eis1600-pkg the repository name on docker hub from where the image will be downloaded
• Last, the command from the package you want to execute including all parameters required by that command.

E.G., to run q_tags_to_bio for toponym descriptions through docker:

$ docker run -it -v "</path/to/EIS1600>:/EIS1600" eis1600-pkg q_tags_to_bio Topo_Data/MIUs/ TOPONYM_DESCRIPTION_DETECTION/toponym_description_training_data TOPD

To run the annotation pipeline:

$ docker run --gpus all -it -v "</path/to/EIS1600>:/EIS1600" eis1600-pkg analyse_all_on_cluster

Maybe add -D as parameter to analyse_all_on_cluster because parallel processing does not work with GPU.

After creating and activating the eis16000_env (see Set Up), use:

$ pip install eis1600

In case you have an older version installed, use:

$ pip install --upgrade eis1600

The package comes with different options, to install camel-tools use the following command. Check also their installation instructions because atm they require additional packages https://camel-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#installation

$ pip install 'eis1600[NER]'

If you want to run the annotation pipeline, you also need to download camel-tools data:

$ camel_data -i disambig-mle-calima-msa-r13

To run the annotation pipeline with GPU, use this command:

$ pip install 'eis1600[EIS]'

Note. You can use pip freeze to check the versions of all installed packages, including eis1600.

You need to download all the models ONE BY ONE from Google Drive. Something breaks if you try to download the whole folder, and you get this error:

OSError: Error no file named pytorch_model.bin, tf_model.h5, model.ckpt.index or flax_model.msgpack found in directory EIS1600_Pretrained_Models/camelbert-ca-finetuned

Better to sync EIS1600_Pretrained_Models with our nextcloud.

If you want to install eis1600-pkg from source you have to add the data modules for gazetteers and helper manually. You can find the modules in our nextcloud.

To not mess with other python installations, we recommend installing the package in a virual environment. To create a new virtual environment with python, run:

python3 -m venv eis1600_env

NB: while creating your new virtual environment, you must use Python 3.7 or 3.8, as these are version required by CAMeL-Tools.

After creation of the environment it can be activated by:

source eis1600_env/bin/activate

The environment is now activated and the eis1600 package can be installed into that environment with pip:

$ pip install eis1600

This command installs all dependencies as well, so you should see lots of other libraries being installed. If you do not, you must have used a wrong version of Python while creating your virtual environment.

You can now use the commands listed in this README.

To use the environment, you have to activate it for every session, by:

source eis1600_env/bin/activate

After successful activation, your user has the pre-text (eis1600_env).

Probably, you want to create an alias for the source command in your alias file by adding the following line:

alias eis="source eis1600_env/bin/activate"

Alias files:

• on Linux:
  • .bash_aliases
• On Mac:
  • .zshrc if you use zsh (default in the latest versions Mac OS);

The working directory is always the main EIS1600 directory which is a parent to all the different repositories. The EIS1600 directory has the following structure:

|
|---| eis_env
|---| EIS1600_JSONs
|---| EIS1600_Pretrained_Models (for annotation, sync from Nextcloud)
|---| gazetteers
|---| Master_Chronicle
|---| OpenITI_EIS1600_Texts
|---| Training_Data

Path variables are in the module eis1600/helper/repo.

All commands must be run from the parent directory EIS1600! See also Processing Workflow.

• Use -D flag to get detailed debug messages in the console.

• Use -P flag to run annotation of MIUs in parallel, parallel processing will eat up ALL resources!
• Use -D flag to get detailed debug messages in the console.

$ analyse_all_on_cluster

Converts mARkdown file to EIS1600TMP (without inserting UIDs). The .EIS1600TMP file will be created next to the .mARkdown file (you can input .inProcess or .completed files as well). This command can be run from anywhere within the text repo - use auto complete (tab) to get the correct path to the file. Alternative: open command line from the folder which contains the file which shall be converted.

$ convert_mARkdown_to_EIS1600TMP <uri>.mARkdown

Run from the parent directory EIS1600. Use the -e option to convert all files from the EIS1600 repo.

$ convert_mARkdown_to_EIS1600 -e <EIS1600_repo>

EIS1600TMP files do not contain IDs yet, to insert IDs run ids_insert_or_update on the .EIS1600TMP file. Use auto complete (tab) to get the correct path to the file.

$ ids_insert_or_update <OpenITI_EIS1600_Text/data/path/to/file>.EIS1600TMP

Additionally, this routine updates IDs if you run it on a .EIS1600 file. Update IDs means inserting missing UIDs and updating SubIDs.

$ ids_insert_or_update <OpenITI_EIS1600_Text/data/path/to/file>.EIS1600

See also Processing Workflow. Use incorporate_newly_prepared_files_in_corpus to add IDs to all ready files from the Google Sheet.

$ incorporate_newly_prepared_files_in_corpus

Check if the formatting is correct (structural tagging)

$ check_formatting <OpenITI_EIS1600_Text/data/path/to/file>.EIS1600

Check the formatting of all .EIS1600 files:

$ check_formatting

This will create a log-file with all issues found. The log file is here: OpenITI_EIS1600_Texts/mal_formatted_texts.log. It will print a list of files marked as 'ready' for which no .EIS1600TMP file was found. It will also print a list of files marked as 'double-cheked' for which no .EIS1600 file was found. Check if the author or book URI are still matching the folders and the file in the OpenITI_EIS1600_Texts directory.

This script can be run on a folder containing files which were exported from the onine editor. Those files are MIUs but are missing directionality tags and paragraph tags (they use new lines to indicate paragraphs). Use these flags to active the respective model for annotation:

• NER
• O [Onomastics]
• P [Persons and STFCOX]
• T [Toponyms and BDKOPRX]

THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE ORIGINAL FILES IN THE FOLDER!

$ reannotation -NER -O -P -T <path/to/folder>

This script can be used to transform Q-tags from EIS1600-mARkdown to BIO-labels. The script will operate on a directory of MIUs and write a JSON file with annotated MIUs in BIO training format. Parameters are:

1. Path to directory containing annotated MIUs;
2. Filename or path inside RESEARCH_DATA repo for JSON output file
3. BIO_main_class, optional, defaults to 'Q'. Try to use something more meaningful and distinguishable.

$ q_tags_to_bio <path/to/MIUs/> <q_training_data> <bio_main_class>

For toponym definitions/descriptions:

$ q_tags_to_bio Topo_Data/MIUs/ TOPONYM_DESCRIPTION_DETECTION/toponym_description_training_data TOPD

Run the following command from the root of the MIU repo to revise automated annotated files:

$ miu_random_revisions

When first run, the file file_picker.yml is added to the root of the MIU repository. Make sure to specify your operating system and to set your initials and the path/command to/for Kate in this YAML file.

system: ... # options: mac, lin, win;
reviewer: eis1600researcher # change this to your name;
path_to_kate: kate # add absolute path to Kate on your machine; or a working alias (kate should already work)

Optional, you can specify a path from where to open files - e.g. if you only want to open training-data, set:

miu_main_path: ./training_data/

When revising files, remember to change

reviewed    : NOT REVIEWED

to

reviewed    : REVIEWED

Run the following command from the root of the MIU repo to revise create tsv files with the corpus dump:

$ tsv_dump

This command will create two files:

1. eis1600-structure.tsv contains all structural data from the eis1600 corpus
2. eis1600-content.tsv contains all content data from the eis1600 corpus.
   • By default, this file is splitted in 4 parts (eis1600-content_part0001.tsv, etc), so that the files are not too large. The output can be splitted in a different number of files using the argument --part, e.g. $ tsv_dump --parts 0 will create only one file, without any parts.
   • By default, all entities will be added to the tsv output. The list of entities are: SECTIONS, TOKENS, TAGS_LISTS, NER_LABELS, LEMMAS, POS_TAGS, ROOTS, TOPONYM_LABELS, NER_TAGS, DATE_TAGS, MONTH_TAGS, ONOM_TAGS, ONOMASTIC_TAGS. A different selection of output entities can be done with the argument --label_list, e.g. $ tsv_dump --label_list NER_LABELS NER_TAGS will output only the information included in those entities.

For example, to extract all TOPONYM_LABELS from the whole eis1600 data and output it to a single file, use: $ tsv_dump --label_list TOPONYM_LABELS
