This repository contains a collection of utilities and Python modules for working with ODIN data, in text format or in Xigt.

The odintxt.py module is for reading and writing the original text format of the ODIN data. It also contains functions for interpreting the metadata, assigning IGT IDs, and splitting the data by either document ID or language.

The usage is odintxt.py [OPTIONS] output-directory [input-files...]

For example:

odintxt.py --assign-igt-ids txt-by-doc-id/ ~/odin-txt-files/*.txt
odintxt.py --split-by iso-639-3 txt-by-lang/ txt-by-doc-id/*.txt

Some tips:

• instead of normal filename expansion for input files, use `ls txt-files/*.txt -v` to sort them by numeric doc_id order (so 10.txt comes after 9.txt and not 109.txt)
• for a doc_id and iso-639-3 split to have consistent igt_id values, use --assign-igt-ids on the first run, then use the output of that run for the second one (as shown in the example above)
• use a higher logging level (-v) to get log messages about annotator comments (going up two logging levels (-vv) is probably overkill unless you're debugging)

This module takes a XigtXML-formatted ODIN corpus and adds cleaned odin tiers if a raw tier exists and a cleaned tier doesn't. Cleaning currently only merges lines with the +CR tag if tokens on one line lines align with whitespace on the other and the lines share the same tags.

This can either be run like a filter, which takes a single corpus on stdin and prints to stdout:

cat 10.xml | odinclean.py > 10-cleaned.xml

Or it can be run with filename arguments, in which case the files are modified in-place:

odinclean.py ~/odin-2.1/data/by-doc-id/xigt/*.xml

This module behaves just like odinclean.py, but it normalizes the text contents of the cleaned tier, if available, or else the raw tier. Normalization does a number of things:

• rejoins continued lines (tag="C")
• rejoins wrapped translation lines
• extracts citations (and other kinds of parenthesized metadata) from L, G, and T lines and puts it in a new M line
• extracts language names (based on the language name and code metadata) to a new M line
• removes example numbers
• rejoins hyphenated grams on the L and G lines (e.g. dog -s becomes dog-s)
• extracts judgment markers (like * or #) to a judgment attribute
• separates secondary translations (e.g. `...' (Lit. `...'))
• dewraps L and G lines
• unquotes translation lines
• de-indents all lines consistently (keeping column alignments)
• removes blank items

cat 10-cleaned.xml | odinnormalize.py > 10-normalized.xml

or

odinnormalize.py ~/odin-2.1/data/by-doc-id/xigt/*.xml

rmtiers.sh script will take a tier ID as its first argument and remove all tiers with that ID from given files. E.g., to remove all normalized tiers (presumably with id="n")

rmtiers.sh n ~/odin-2.1/data/by-doc-id/xigt/*.xml

This script is for updating the citations.txt file that accompanies an ODIN release. It can be used to update the database with new information provided via a tab-separated-value file.
