The assorted finds of Artefact Publishing
The new NZETC website is live. Based on an XML topic map (currently focused around textual structure, publication details, and names of people, places, organisations and ships), it features automatically generated lists of links from a topic page to the texts which mention, were written, published or funded by, the topic subject. So, for example, the page for George William von Zedlitz links to various chapters in a history of Victoria University of Wellington, as well as two images of him, and all because the source documents have some markup specifying that his name occurs in those documents.
Despite the substantial change from our old site, the really good stuff is still to come: multiple views of the texts (such as a basic view which regularises spelling and doesn’t show mistakes), event and subject topics, and more texts.

Yeah, when I said it was live, I didn’t mean that it was live and without some significant flaws — only one of which is the absence of the Polynesian dictionary. We’re hoping to have that up later today, along with more fixes to the problems that you may well come across.
So, our apologies are in order for the new site not being the greatest advertisement for our abilities ever. The current process for publishing the site is less than ideal, something we can now start to work on.
