Project modes

A project represents a set of documents to be collected, which can be referenced by one or more CSV files. Teklia Spider supports two different modes, that affect images validation and export.

Heritus

Heritus project mode structures documents into a single top level folder. This means a "Top folder" column must be defined while configuring a campaign. Validated images are exported grouped by their top folder value.

Socface

Socface project mode structures census documents into two levels: year and town. This means a "Year" and a "Town" column must be defined while configuring a campaign. Validated images are exported to a top folder representing the year, then a subfolder representing the town.

Town detection algorithm

To be validated, each Socface image must be mapped to a referenced town in the Cassini database. The town must be located in the same department than image’s project.

Towns detection is always based on a case and accent insensitive match. Several cases are tested in this order:

  • Current name

  • Name of the town in 1801

  • Name of the town in 1794

  • Current name by lexemes (e.g. Hôtellerie_De_Flée (L') will match L’hotellerie de flee)

If none of those method work, the image will be marked as erroneous.
