MIRABILE-ATLAS Fellowship core objectives
1. On-line publication, with related search functions for the search and
visualization, of data present in MIRABILE on an atlas of medieval
culture with related cross-searches and interactive navigation over the
data retrieved from the database. All data will be transformed in JSON,
which is the standard format for the management of data used by Elastic
Search for indexing.

2. Integration with information present in MIRABILE's databases (such as
the author, the texts, the manuscripts that conserve them and the
bibliography). The development of this new
module will provide the ability to show those database informations on a
map. The geographical data will be loaded by the user inserting it in a
text field. To facilitate the user, a lemmatization algorithm will be
used, it will analyze the text contained in the document by detecting
the entries in it.

3. A user interface that will integrate the search engine results, will
be implemented in the new project, providing a way to view the data on
an interactive map.
