Working documentation/notes:

Jonathan's Notes:

• notes about the Scribe data model (useful for figuring out how to integrate OCR/translation data)
• notes about Scribe mark classifications (useful for figuring out how to integrate OCR/translation data)
• notes about constructing a request with mark data to Scribe

Potential summer projects:

1. Translation API implementation (probably Python client-server coding -- need to choose an API (probably Google), figure out how to query it, etc.)
2. Creating a test image set/developing workflow for uploading
3. Continuing work on using the Rails API interfaces to insert transcription data from Tesseract OCR into Scribe
4. Extending Scribe DB schema to include all of the catalog fields, as well as duplicate fields for each field's translation (MongoDB, Ruby/Rails)
5. Exporting data from Scribe and formatting it as catalog input records (probably Python, JSON, XML, MongoDB?)
