NFDI4Culture Metadata API

Computational Publishing Service (CPS) enables publishing directly from digital collections and data. Users can create scripts to retrieve text, media, code, or data and output as multi-format publications, and as interactive (Jupyter Notebooks) and LOD versions (RDFa, JSON, etc.).

Digital humanities scholars produce papers and monographs that are based on data analysis and use data visualisation, as well as using sources with media and code – 3D models, video, or GND authority data, etc. We support all of these media and code types using modern Open Science infrastructures. At the same time the system provides high quality automated typesetting for PDF and multi-format publication outputs. The system is designed for Open Access Press submission workflows and packages publications as FAIR Principles based repository deposits.

Cultural organisations can use the system to automatically generate websites, produce publication series, or retrieve packaged assets from their digital cultural collection.

CPS uses pipeline architecture to connect different software. At its core it uses Wikibase4Research for LOD storage, Jupyter Notebook for authoring, Quarto render engine for multi-format outputs, and GitLab / GitHub for publication storage. Other NFDI4Culture services can be used as well: Antelope, Semantic Kompakkt, and Culture Knowledge Graph have pipeline integration options.

The pipeline has full open-source versions available.
