AMIRA — Africa Multiple Research Data

Start here: corpus counts, text coverage, breakdowns, dates, snapshot freshness and refresh status.

Search digitised research items. Filters are AND-combined; empty results suggest a filter to relax or a stored place name. export links all matches as a file.

Research-item metadata, linked entities, rights, media files, IIIF manifest and a generated citation (BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON). Long fields cap at 25,000 characters.

Search project names, descriptions and membership. Returns cited summaries and item counts; use get_project for detail.

Project description, team, sections, funders, item counts by type, top subjects and ten sample research items, with citation links.

Cluster research sections, funding phases, project/item counts and citation links. Includes the external-collection grouping.

One research section's description, team and projects, each with its research-item count.

Find canonical person authority records. Names accept either order and ignore accents. Use resolve_entity to disambiguate homonyms.

Person affiliations, identifiers, project and section roles, credited items, publications, podcasts, videos and collaborators. Lists cap at 50 with totals. Use id to disambiguate.

Browse institution authorities by name or acronym (e.g. 'UJKZ'), with project counts and citation links.

Institution or group profile: identifiers, members, funded projects and credited items, with citation links.

Cluster partner institutions grouped by catalogue category, with citation links.

Browse research groups and associations by name, with citation links.

Subject headings (LCSH or free tags) ranked by distinct research-item count. Feed a heading into search_research_items.subject.

Research places with coordinates and ancestor rollups. One item can count under both city and country. Feed a name into search_research_items.location.

Omeka item sets ranked by research-item count, with catalogue links. Feed an ID into search_research_items.collection.

Ranked formats, languages or resource types used by research items. Feed values into the corresponding search filters.

Research-item year/decade histogram with dated and undated counts. A date range counts in each spanned bucket. Supports shared item filters and pagination.

AND-filtered bibliography, newest first. Keyword includes PDF text and returns match snippets. citation_format returns citations per page; export links every match as one file. Cite amira_url.

Publication metadata and citation export (BibTeX default). Full text is opt-in and paginated. Cite amira_url; DOI/repository links are additional sources.

Ranked facets for the entire filtered bibliography before pagination. Uses the same selection rules as search_publications.

Publication venues ranked by linked bibliography records, with ISSN and catalogue links.

Subjects, people, places and projects connected through shared records. Per-corpus counts deduplicate each record; subject/person seeds also include publications. Returns ambiguity and cited samples.

Search podcast metadata and transcripts. Text-only hits include snippets; full transcripts require get_podcast with opt-in.

Podcast detail, duration, audio file and citation link; says which model generated the transcript. Transcript is opt-in, bounded and pageable.

Search video metadata and transcripts. Text-only hits include snippets; full transcripts require get_video with opt-in.

Video detail, thumbnail and citation link; says how the transcript was produced when recorded. Transcript is opt-in, bounded and pageable.

Resolve a label or typed ID to cited candidates. Returns ambiguity instead of merging names. Use a returned id with get_entity_graph or get_* tools.

One-hop graph from a typed ID: explicit catalogue links and derived co-occurrence with distinct-record counts and cited evidence. Pass edge_id to page its evidence; pin snapshot_id across pages.

Find literal accent-insensitive keyword passages in selected publication/video/podcast IDs. Original UTF-16 offsets, bounded context, and citations. Requires full text exposure; no semantic ranking.

Compare 2–4 projects or item sets with identical research-item filters. Reports denominators, missingness, dates and top types/languages; collections can overlap.

Snapshot coverage and missing metadata, unresolved loaded-authority links, and sanitized refresh status. Missing catalogue metadata is not evidence of real-world absence.

Page added/updated/deleted records between retained snapshots from this Omeka instance. Lists available snapshot IDs when fewer than two exist. For recent additions without history, use added_since on the search tools.

Ranked search across items, publications, videos, podcasts, projects and sections. Returns typed IDs, titles and citation URLs. Fetch selected records for evidence.

Read a typed search result as a cited document. Full text/transcripts are opt-in and pageable; metadata and text respect exposure policy. Unknown ID returns an error.
