2026. DINOH Evaluation: synthetic examples and evaluation methods for oral-history assistance, with 28 synthetic records in seven languages, researcher-authored reference annotations, machine-readable schemas and WebVTT and OHMS export. The model backend is a placeholder; its scores are not measurements of model performance. MIT License. Archived on Zenodo, all versions (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21273366).
2026. Pipeline component of DINOH: a research workflow for oral-history transcripts, descriptive proposals and human review, with a manual pseudonymisation workflow and interfaces for local model adapters. The public preview runs a reproducible demonstration on invented transcripts and recorded model responses; known test failures are documented in the repository. MIT License · pre-release (0.1.0a1).
2026. Local, speaker-attributed transcripts of two-person oral history interviews on Apple Silicon Macs, with a review list of uncertain passages. Runs offline after installation. German by default; accuracy has so far been measured only on a synthetic dialogue. Apache-2.0 · public repository · no DOI yet.
2026. Local-only anonymisation gateway preparing interview transcripts for analysis: Presidio-backed PII recognition, mandatory human review, typed document-local surrogates and a second verification scan, releasing data to a downstream QDA adapter only after sign-off. German, English, French. MIT License · v0.1.0 (MVP). Archived on Zenodo, all versions (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21854346).
2026. Method-contract toolkit for evidence-bound qualitative analysis with local language models: versioned method contracts, source-near coding prompts with machine-readable JSON schemas, deterministic source-unit segmentation, quote and locator validation, fail-closed conformance suite. MIT License · pre-release (v0.4).
2026. Rule-based, fully traceable annotation framework for qualitative text data, with indicators for German, English and French. MIT License. Archived on Zenodo, all versions (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18640259).
2026. Enriches TEI P5 letters with persons, places and organisations as reviewable candidates, with provenance in CIDOC CRM, W3C Web Annotation and PROV-O. Research prototype. Version 0.2 was evaluated against the editorial annotation of 40 letters from the edition “Arthur Schnitzler: Briefwechsel mit Autorinnen und Autoren”; version 0.3.0 adds the review step and has not been measured separately; CMIF export and authority matching via PMB are planned from 0.4.0 (project page with evaluation).

2026. Cross-disciplinary minimal metadata model for interview-based research. Two-layer architecture: Core Profile of 13 fields, 7 of them mandatory, plus extensible Implementation Profiles. DCTAP-based, with crosswalks to Dublin Core, schema.org/Dataset, REFI-QDA/QDPX and CMDI. CC BY 4.0. Archived on Zenodo, all versions (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20507328).
2026. Edited with Machteld Venken. Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History. A 14-chapter digital exhibition created with MA students of the seminar “Oral History in Context and Praxis” (Master of Digital and Public History, autumn semester 2025). CC BY 4.0.
