State of Development, October 2025

Development

Frontend

• Significantly reworked the display of transcriptions on object pages
  • Titles of transcriptions are now displayed
    • If none is set, the type of the transcription (original or translation) is used as a replacement
  • Transcriptions are sorted by their titles
  • Improved the display of transcriptions in tiles
    • Problems with vertical scrolling are now solved
    • If only one transcription has been recorded, it will be displayed on the full width of the page
    • If there are more than two transcriptions for an object, they are folded in by default and can be unfolded later on
• Batch export of object metadata via the API
  • Thus far available in JSON & LIDO
  • API documentation
  • See also
• Dots as a separator in floating point numbers for object measurements are replaced with a comma in languages that require that
• Collection-specific ISIL IDs are used in the LIDO API

musdb

• Added a field for recording titles / names of transcriptions
• Added the option to set collection-specific ISIL IDs
• Setting object type tags via the improvement suggestions now correctly classifies the thus created link between object and tag
• Additional shapes are now available
  • E.g.: round, square
• Object groups can now be filtered by whether they have a superordinate one or not
