Glossary

The words these pages use, explained in a sentence or two each. Each entry links to the page that holds the full description. Tools, models, standards and institutions have longer entries on External tools & services.

Term Meaning
accretion How the record grows. Each stage adds its own block and passes every other block on unchanged (The document contract).
actionable workflow A workflow on the SSH Open Marketplace that can also be run. In ATRIUM it runs as a Galaxy workflow.
AIS CR The Archaeological Information System of the Czech Republic, the infrastructure behind AMČR and TEATER, at aiscr.cz (more).
ALTO An XML format for OCR output. It keeps every word with its position on the page image (more).
AMČR The Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (Archeologická mapa České republiky): the national archaeological database of ARÚP and ARÚB, and the partner that runs the ATRIUM pilot.
ARÚP, ARÚB The Institutes of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and in Brno. They hold the collections the tools were built for (more).
block One top-level part of the record, written by exactly one tool: page_categories, lines, translations and so on.
born-digital A document created on a computer, so its text is already stored in the file: a PDF exported from Word, for example. The opposite of a scan. digital-convert reads these.
category (page) One of the eleven page types page-classification assigns, such as TEXT_T (typed text) or PHOTO (the definitions).
CNEC 2.0 The entity types of the Czech Named Entity Corpus, used by NameTag's Czech model. nlp-enrich turns its codes into readable names, such as "Geographical name".
CoNLL-U A plain-text table with one word per line: its lemma, part of speech, grammatical features and syntax (more).
CUBBITT The Czech–English translation model behind LINDAT's translation service, the translator's default (more).
DOC_LINE_CATEG/ ocr-postprocess's per-line table: every text line with its line category. nlp-enrich reads it.
end-to-end test (E2E) The test that runs the tools one after another on sample documents and checks what each passes on (W6 on Pipelines).
ensemble page-classification's five vX.4 models scoring the same page, with their scores averaged. It is the service's default. It has no held-out accuracy figure of its own.
FAIR Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable: the principles research-data publication aims at. RO-Crate export is ATRIUM's route to them.
fold One of five ways the annotated pages were divided into training (80 %), development (10 %) and test (10 %) parts. Each published page-classification model was trained on one fold.
GraphQL A query language for web APIs, in which the client names exactly the fields it wants. TEATER is queried this way.
held-out Pages, or other data, a model never saw in training. Accuracy is only honest when it is measured on held-out data.
image (container) A packaged program, published on GitHub's container registry. Each tool ships at least two: a batch image for the command line and an -api image for the service (Operations).
LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ The Czech research infrastructure for language data. It hosts the services nlp-enrich and the translator call: UDPipe, NameTag and translation (more).
line category The label ocr-postprocess gives each text line: Clear, Noisy, Trash (illegible), Non-text or Empty.
NameTag LINDAT's named-entity recogniser. nlp-enrich uses NameTag 3 to find names of people, places and organisations.
NMT Neural machine translation: a model trained to translate whole sentences, such as CUBBITT.
OCR / HTR Optical character recognition (printed or typed text) and handwritten text recognition. They are different engines, which is why pages are classified first.
OpenAPI A machine-readable description of a service's endpoints. Each tool commits it as service/openapi.json; it is the API's one contract.
originator The tool that creates a record's page and line structure: ocr-postprocess for OCR output, digital-convert for born-digital files.
PAGE_ALTO/ ocr-postprocess's output folder: one ALTO file per page, <doc>/<doc>-N.alto.xml. The translator reads it.
paradata Data about the process: which program, version and settings produced an output, when, and with which components and licences. One JSON file per run (Licences and paradata).
pilot (S2) AMČR colleagues running the six services themselves, December 2026 – January 2027 (S2 pilot handover).
provenance The record's account of who contributed what: a stamp on each block, and a list of the runs that wrote to it.
quality score A number from 0 to 1 that ocr-postprocess gives each line, built from nine measurements of its text. The line category is decided from it and a short list of rules.
record The ATRIUM document record: one JSON file per document, <doc_id>.document.json, that every stage reads and adds to (The document contract).
revision (model) A named version of a model on the Hugging Face Hub, such as v4.4. Name the revision you mean: the Hub's default can point to an older one.
RO-Crate A standard way to package research data with its description, so a repository can publish it (RO-Crate export).
routing Deciding, from a page's category, which processing it needs next: OCR, handwriting recognition, table extraction, image handling or nothing. A person or a script decides; the tools do not.
runbook A service's service/README.md: how to start it, what it downloads, what its errors mean and what to do, and its known limits.
SKOS A W3C standard for publishing vocabularies. ATRIUM's label lists, such as the page categories, are published as SKOS concepts (SKOS).
SSH Open Marketplace The European catalogue of humanities tools and workflows. Each ATRIUM tool has a record there (more).
TEATER A thesaurus of archaeological terms with Czech and English names, published by AIS CR. keyword-extract's controlled keywords come from it and from AMČR's keyword lists (more).
TEI, TEITOK TEI is the standard XML for encoding texts in the humanities. TEITOK is a corpus format and platform built on it, keeping every word linked to its place on the page. nlp-enrich writes TEITOK.
top-1, top-3 The share of pages whose correct category is the model's first answer (top-1), or among its first three (top-3).
UDPipe LINDAT's tool for words, lemmas, parts of speech and sentence structure. nlp-enrich uses UDPipe 2 (more).
vocabulary (controlled) A fixed list of terms that a keyword must come from: here, AMČR's keyword lists and TEATER. A controlled keyword is one of these terms; a statistical keyword is a word taken from the text.
workflow narrative A tool's workflow told step by step, with the formats in and out of each step. Its SSH Open Marketplace and Galaxy records are built from it (Workflows).
