This example queries the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) API to fetch and display search results as a simple webpage. It shows a list of image thumbnails with titles, each linked to its source item. The code uses the XQuery `fetch:text` or `fn:json-doc` functions to retrieve JSON data from the DPLA API, then parses it with `json:parse` or direct JSON navigation. It constructs HTML `<li>` elements containing an `<img>` tag and anchor, filtering out results without a thumbnail or title.

FLICKR API Example

This example visualizes Flickr photo search results for the query "David Bowie" by querying the Flickr API’s `flickr.photos.search` method with a supplied API key and authentication token. The XQuery code constructs a REST endpoint URL to fetch raw XML responses, which are then rendered as a network graph of matching photos. It uses the standard `fn:doc` function to retrieve the data, while the visualization layer relies on D3’s `forceSimulation` for layout and `d3.geoPath` for any geographic mapping, though the specific rendering logic is not shown. The result is a dynamic, data-driven exploration of Flickr’s public photo metadata.

Convert JSON to Dublin Core in XML

This example shows a live conversion of movie search results from JSON into Dublin Core XML metadata. It retrieves data from the OMDB API using `fetch:text` and `fn:parse-json` to parse the response, then extracts the `Search` array. For each movie, it creates a Dublin Core `title` and `relation` element, mapping the movie title and poster URL respectively. The code uses XQuery 3.1 with the `dc` namespace, and the final output is an XML `<movies>` wrapper. The example demonstrates a straightforward data transformation pipeline, not a visual chart, but it is included in the gallery for its metadata-handling technique.

Digital Science for Library Workship

This example visualizes a list of Digital Science tools, sourced from a gist by Clifford Anderson, as a static text-based layout. It reads the topics from a Markdown file and renders each entry as a clickable hyperlink to its official website. The code uses the D3.js library, specifically `d3.select` and text element creation, to position the items within an SVG canvas. The visualization does not encode data into shapes or colors; instead, it presents the information as a clean, typographic interface for workshop attendees.

Loading data through SPARQL

This example demonstrates how to query a live SPARQL endpoint using d3.json, fetching up to 1000 records created in 1893 from the Dutch Network of Digital Heritage. The results are displayed as raw JSON text in a paragraph element. The code encodes a SPARQL query with encodeURIComponent and appends it to the endpoint URL, then parses the response with d3’s JSON loader. It relies on d3.v5 and the public API endpoint, which must remain active for the example to function.

Sample code for extracting, transforming, and loading IA metadata into BaseX

This example demonstrates an XQuery 3.1 pipeline for harvesting Open Library search results and persisting them as structured XML in a BaseX database. It first fetches JSON via `fetch:text` and parses it with `json:parse`, then converts each record into a canonical `book` element with attributes for key and full-text availability, and child elements for title, authors, dates, publishers, and subjects. Subsequent scripts extend the process to paginate through large result sets, and a final query retrieves full book texts from the Internet Archive, storing them alongside the metadata.

Loading data through SPARQL

This example demonstrates a SPARQL query against the Network of Digital Heritage (NDE) API, displaying the results as raw JSON text in a paragraph element. The visualization shows counts of cultural heritage objects grouped by material type and African place names. The code uses D3 v5’s `d3.json()` helper to fetch data from the SPARQL endpoint, with the query wrapped in template literals and passed as a URL-encoded parameter. The results are rendered by directly setting the innerText of the paragraph, without any further visual encoding.

Full Text IA

This example visualizes the full-text metadata of a book collection, showing how documents are distributed across subject categories. It loads book records from an XML database and filters out any documents tagged with the "Protected DAISY" subject. The visualization uses D3.js’s force-directed layout to position nodes, with each book represented as a point linked to its subject keywords. The code retrieves data via an XQuery query, and the rendering relies on D3’s force simulation to cluster related items, making thematic groupings visible at a glance.

Get Zotero JSON from API

This example demonstrates how to retrieve and parse Zotero library items as structured XML from the Zotero API. It uses the XQuery `fetch:text` function to download JSON data from the API endpoint, then parses that JSON with `json:parse`. The code extracts all `note` elements from the parsed data and converts each into an XML fragment using `fn:parse-xml-fragment`. This approach shows a direct pipeline from API response to manipulable XML nodes, useful for further processing or transformation in an XQuery environment.
