OpenITI/FASDH25 – May 2025: Delivered foundational data analytics tooling and a major charting core refactor. Implemented two new Python scripts for data analysis and plotting with an initial folder scaffolding to support scalable data tooling, enabling efficient extraction of metrics (longest article, total length, top exports), date column creation, filtering by the first six months of 2023, and a Plotly-based histogram with annotations; also updated CSV export naming. Additionally completed extensive refactor of the Plotly.js core for improved axis handling, color scales, markers, tick management, range manipulation, and user interactions, enabling richer and more robust charts. These changes build a maintainable analytics foundation and directly support faster, data-driven decision making.

April 2025 monthly summary for OpenITI/FASDH25: Delivered two core capabilities that improve analytics and data visualization for text corpora. Enhanced Text Analysis: Pattern Counting with Dynamic Loading introduces dictionary-based counting with a TSV-based gazetteer, enabling flexible and scalable detection of occurrences (e.g., Israeli/Palestinian/Gazan) across articles. Geospatial Visualization: Map Display with Hover Info provides an interactive map built with Plotly Express and Pandas, plotting lat/long from TSV data with hover-enabled contextual information. While no explicit major bug fixes are listed in the provided items, the changes emphasize modular, maintainable code and stable data pipelines. These efforts accelerate insight generation and support evidence-based decision-making for research and reporting.

March 2025: Feature-driven delivery and repo hygiene for OpenITI/FASDH25. Key features delivered include a Geopolitical Text Analysis Toolkit for News Articles to quantify mentions of geopolitical entities (Israel, Palestine, Gaza) across Al Jazeera articles, a THECREATORS Test Content Lifecycle to automate creation and cleanup of test content for pipelines, and Documentation and Minor Content Cleanup to improve repo hygiene. No major bugs fixed were reported this month; focus remained on delivering business-relevant capabilities and improving stability through documentation and cleanup. Impact includes improved ability to derive geopolitical coverage metrics, more reliable test pipelines, and cleaner, maintainable documentation, reducing onboarding time and ongoing maintenance costs. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python tooling and scripting, data aggregation across multiple files, automated content lifecycle management, and repo hygiene practices.
