Sources
Nabu is an aggregation of other people’s scholarship. Every text in the library exists because an upstream project digitized, edited, annotated, and published it under terms that permit this kind of use; those projects are credited here, and their license terms travel with every passage. The maintained inventory, including sources evaluated but not (or not yet) ingested, is docs/02-sources.md in the repository.
The licensing model
Every document carries a license class, recorded as data at ingestion and displayed on every surface — search hits, exports, alignment rows, and MCP responses alike:
open— public domain or CC0. No restrictions.attribution— CC BY or CC BY-SA class: redistributable with credit. Together withopen, this covers roughly 89% of documents.odbl— open data under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0 + DbCL 1.0): attribution and share-alike duties that attach to the database — name it, link it, share derived databases alike. The Scandinavian runic corpus is its occupant.nc— CC BY-NC-SA class (GRETIL, most treebanks): licensed for non-commercial use. Appropriate for private research, including AI-assisted reading; never redistributed by the tooling.research_private— sources whose terms (for instance CC BY-ND, or scholarly-use grants without a redistribution clause) do not fit the classes above. Held for personal research only, and excluded from the MCP surface by default: an AI client must opt in per call to see them. The Freising Manuscripts edition (CC BY-ND 2.5 SI) was the first source behind this gate; scholarly-use grants (SEAL, the Luwian corpus) and the Dutch institute corpora without a redistribution clause have joined it.restricted— a document whose upstream licence statement is unfamiliar is never silently opened: it is held at this class, withheld from the MCP surface likeresearch_private, until a human has read the statement.
Two further habits belong to this model. First, licenses are read from upstream metadata wherever it is machine-readable (ORACC’s per-project license field, for example), never hardcoded, and per-document overrides record cases where one collection carries differently licensed layers. Second, texts an upstream later deletes are retained and remain searchable — honestly labelled as retired upstream — under the license they were fetched with.
This posture is deliberately conservative: the library is personal research infrastructure, not a redistribution service, so it can hold non-commercial and no-derivatives material lawfully while keeping the boundary explicit in the data. Should any part of the collection ever face outward, the license classes are the gate that decides what may pass.
Corpus sources
Every live public source has a row here — all 327
of them as of 7 November 2026, listed alphabetically by source id, with
sibling shelves from one upstream (a corpus and its lexicon, say) sharing a
row. The table is generated from the source registry at every
development gate, so a newly synchronized source appears without anyone
remembering to add it; a row whose description has not yet been written
says so plainly and carries the source’s own name, upstream link and
license class until it is. The counts in a contents line are those of the
source’s first synchronization (dated where shown), while the holdings
column is the live catalog’s own count, regenerated at every development
gate (last read 7 November 2026). Each row is linkable by its
source id — /sources/#src-oracc. The same sources grouped by research desk —
each desk’s member shelves, license mix and sync status on one page —
appear on the research desks, and the
collections they form are surveyed on The Library.

The local shelves
A further 5 registered sources hold no upstream at all — they are the
library’s shelves for authored and acquired material, synchronized by
re-scanning local files rather than fetching. The language-dossier shelf
(local-language) carries the library’s own per-language curation, one
Markdown dossier per language code. The local-library shelf
(local-library) files the owner’s PDFs, scans, and offprints through
the nabu ingest command (which also accepts http(s) URLs, downloading
first and recording the address in the manifest); everything on it
defaults to the research_private class — catalogued and searchable
locally, never served or redistributed. The source-dossier shelf
(local-source) carries a curated description of every registered
source, served on the nabu list census. The notes shelf
(local-notes) records the owner’s annotations on any citable URN
through nabu note. The lemma shelf (local-lemmas) keeps the raw
output of the local lemmatization campaigns (nabu lemma-enrich) — hours
of computation that cannot be re-derived for free, projected from there
into the silver lemma tier. What these shelves hold is, by design, the owner’s
private business — their contents and counts appear nowhere public.
Licenses on
these shelves belong to whatever the owner files there; the class system
above is the gate that keeps restricted personal material private.
