Minimalist, simple, clear and easily readable. Customizable and focused on the academic publication of research results. Maps, images, tables of contents… Everything you need to present your work with professionalism and simplicity.
Inspired by McLuhan WordPress Theme, de Anders Norén (v2.0.5). Native to the world of Digital Art History, its features are hybrid. It can work and be read as an electronic book, and, at the same time, queried as a database of meaningful records in the context of research. A well documented presentation of results.
The administrator can choose the desired color scheme and up to four font styles. The ease of reading and the proportionate size of the typeface prevail. All scientific references are delivered in the correct academic format.
The first two of them with their respective table of contents. Nobody gets lost. Ordered and sequential reading, or customized one. Each chilkd linked to its parent. All this either by automaticatic basis or controlled by the system administration. You can even create a page containing the whole table of contents. And, of course, add footnotes: iASD takes care of its numbering by itself.
Its reactivity allows it to be used with no problems on any device, from a 27" iMac to a smartphone. If needed, menus are hidden from view and only appear when called. Use of graphic symbology in vector format guarantees a clear view on hi-tech computer screens (such as Retina).
Instant queries returning listings arranged depending of its context, by relevance, alphabetically or chronologically. Possibility of enabling FULLTEXT indexed searches. Highlighting of localized terms. Oh, and perfectly ready to be printed on paper or in PDF.
Each page, news or record can be geopositioned, showing its location in singular or global maps. Possibility of configuring images to be displayed with micro-adjustment allowing the user to improve contrast, sharpness, etc.
System users can send documents, texts, images or any other kind of information to a private repository to be consulted by other members of the work team.
Comprehensive management of records (custom posts), metadata and specific taxonomies for each project. With no complexity. Powerful. Transparent for authors and editors. Configurable. A robust database available to researchers.
Inspired by Custom post types WordPress Plugin, de Andrea De Giovine (v2.1.13). Conceived as an trustuful ally for the Digital Humanities, it allows working with registers defined according to the research needs. Its metadata facilitate the characterization of the information kept.
It allows creating ontologies (custom post types 1), metadata and associated taxonomies. Additionally, templates can be generated to set how the information will be displayed on the screen. Transitive or hierarchical relationships between records are built in.
System administrator adjusts the features adapting them to the requirements of the project. From that moment on, users with writing and recording tasks can forget about any technical requirement: they have a form for each type of record, and each field inside is designed for a specific purpose in conformity with the clauses specified by the academic management. Nothing to remember, except scientific criteria.
All fields are repeatables2. Date, time, HTML editor, media library object (on-screen editable images included), link to other ontologies o taxonomies, downloadable files (annexs), text a number,… Possibilities are huge, covering any requirement in practice.
Of course, all fields are integrated into the WordPress search system, particularly efficient through the iASD Theme. FULLTEXT queries are possible if enabled in theme. Listings are delivered in order of relevance or in alphabetical order.
