Arkindex Workers

arkindex_worker.worker

Base classes to implement Arkindex workers.

Classes

ElementsWorker

ElementsWorker(
    description: str = "Arkindex Elements Worker",
    support_cache: bool = False,
)

Bases: ElementMixin, DatasetMixin, BaseWorker, ClassificationMixin, CorpusMixin, TranscriptionMixin, WorkerVersionMixin, EntityMixin, MetaDataMixin, ImageMixin

Base class for ML workers that operate on Arkindex elements.

This class inherits from numerous mixin classes found in other modules of arkindex.worker, which provide helpers to read and write to the Arkindex API.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
description str

The worker’s description

'Arkindex Elements Worker'
support_cache bool

Whether the worker supports cache

False

store_activity property
store_activity: bool

Whether or not WorkerActivity support has been enabled on the DataImport used to run this worker.

Functions
get_elements
get_elements() -> (
    Iterable[CachedElement] | list[str] | list[Element]
)

List the elements to be processed, either from the CLI arguments or the cache database when enabled.

Returns:

Type Description
Iterable[CachedElement] | list[str] | list[Element]

An iterable of CachedElement when cache support is enabled, or a list of strings representing element IDs otherwise.
