As the server listed them on Oct 25, 2026. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
compare_collectionsCompare project collectionsread-onlyCompare 2–4 projects or item sets with identical research-item filters. Reports denominators, missingness, dates and top types/languages; collections can overlap.
fetchFetch one AMIRA recordread-onlyRead a typed search result as a cited document. Full text/transcripts are opt-in and pageable; metadata and text respect exposure policy. Unknown ID returns an error.
find_relatedFind related entitiesread-onlySubjects, people, places and projects connected through shared records. Per-corpus counts deduplicate each record; subject/person seeds also include publications. Returns ambiguity and cited samples.
get_collection_overviewAfrica Multiple collection overviewread-onlyStart here: corpus counts, text coverage, breakdowns, dates, snapshot freshness and refresh status.
get_data_qualityInspect data coverageread-onlySnapshot coverage and missing metadata, unresolved loaded-authority links, and sanitized refresh status. Missing catalogue metadata is not evidence of real-world absence.
get_entity_graphExplore an entity graphread-onlyOne-hop graph from a typed ID: explicit catalogue links and derived co-occurrence with distinct-record counts and cited evidence. types filters neighbours before the bounds. Pass edge_id to page its evidence; pin snapshot_id across pages.
get_institutionGet institution detailread-onlyInstitution or group profile: identifiers, members, funded projects and credited items, with citation links.
get_personGet person profileread-onlyPerson affiliations, identifiers, project and section roles, credited items, publications, podcasts, videos and collaborators. Lists cap at 50 with totals. Use id to disambiguate.
get_podcastGet podcast episode detailread-onlyPodcast detail, duration, audio file and citation link; says which model generated the transcript. Transcript is opt-in, bounded and pageable.
get_projectGet project detailread-onlyProject description, team, sections, funders, item counts by type, top subjects and ten sample research items, with citation links.
get_publicationGet publication detailread-onlyPublication metadata and citation export (BibTeX default). Full text is opt-in and paginated. Cite amira_url; DOI/repository links are additional sources.
get_research_itemGet research item detailread-onlyResearch-item metadata, linked entities, rights, media files, IIIF manifest and a generated citation (BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON). Long fields cap at 25,000 characters.
get_research_sectionGet research section detailread-onlyOne research section's description, team and projects, each with its research-item count.
get_snapshot_changesCompare retained snapshotsread-onlyPage added/updated/deleted records between retained snapshots from this Omeka instance. Lists available snapshot IDs when fewer than two exist. For recent additions without history, use added_since on the search tools.
get_text_passagesFind cited text passagesread-onlyFind literal accent-insensitive keyword passages in selected publication/video/podcast IDs. Original UTF-16 offsets, bounded context, and citations. Requires full text exposure; no semantic ranking.
Show 20 more tools
get_videoGet YouTube video detailread-onlyVideo detail, thumbnail and citation link; says how the transcript was produced when recorded. Transcript is opt-in, bounded and pageable.
list_categoriesList a category facetread-onlyRanked formats, languages or resource types used by research items. Feed values into the corresponding search filters.
list_cluster_partnersList cluster partner institutionsread-onlyCluster partner institutions grouped by catalogue category, with citation links.
list_collectionsList collectionsread-onlyOmeka item sets ranked by research-item count, with catalogue links. Feed an ID into search_research_items.collection.
list_groupsList groupsread-onlyBrowse research groups and associations by name, with citation links.
list_institutionsList institutionsread-onlyBrowse institution authorities by name or acronym (e.g. 'UJKZ'), with project counts and citation links.
list_journalsList journalsread-onlyPublication venues ranked by linked bibliography records, with ISSN and catalogue links.
list_locationsList locationsread-onlyResearch places with coordinates and ancestor rollups. One item can count under both city and country. Feed a name into search_research_items.location.
list_publication_facetsPublication facetsread-onlyRanked facets for the entire filtered bibliography before pagination. Uses the same selection rules as search_publications.
list_research_sectionsList research sectionsread-onlyCluster research sections, funding phases, project/item counts and citation links. Includes the external-collection grouping.
list_subjectsList subjectsread-onlySubject headings (LCSH or free tags) ranked by distinct research-item count. Feed a heading into search_research_items.subject.
list_yearsList yearsread-onlyResearch-item year/decade histogram with dated and undated counts. A date range counts in each spanned bucket. Supports shared item filters and pagination.
resolve_entityResolve an entityread-onlyResolve a label or typed ID to cited candidates. Returns ambiguity instead of merging names. Use a returned id with get_entity_graph or get_* tools.
searchSearch the AMIRA collectionread-onlyRanked search across items, publications, videos, podcasts, projects and sections. Returns typed IDs, titles and citation URLs. Fetch selected records for evidence.
search_personsSearch peopleread-onlyFind canonical person authority records. Names accept either order and ignore accents. Use resolve_entity to disambiguate homonyms.
