LA-PA editor
Sourced, structured, agile historiography
An editor for writing history as a graph of sourced assertions: the people, events, places, objects and works of your subject, and every property of each tied to the document that attests it. Structured in Linked Art, so it can be shared and reused, and quick enough to keep up with your research as it goes.
Ready-to-install releases for macOS, Windows and Linux are on their way. Until then, the code and its instructions are on GitHub.
Sourced: no fact without its trace
Every entity and every property points to the document that says so: a photograph, a letter, a web page, a IIIF manifest from a library or from your Arvest account, down to a page or a region of it.
Structured, and agile
Assert several properties at once, create an entity and its relations together, import people and places from Wikidata or the Getty vocabularies, and watch the graph grow as you write, coloured by type.
In time, and out
Follow events on a timeline, then export the whole history: Linked Art JSON-LD, a network for Gephi, and a table of every assertion with its source.
