Hi @eeftychiou , it's unclear at the moment when this will be on the roadmap for TCAT, but our tool 4CAT contains support for the (academic and standard) archive search: https://github.com/digitalmethodsinitiative/4cat.

Hi @stijn-uva and team - are there plans to support V2 underway at this stage?

[stijn-uva]

Hi @galaxiebrain , we currently have no plans to support v2 in DMI-TCAT. Work is underway to implement v2 streaming support in 4CAT (linked to above) but it is currently difficult to give a precise estimate on when this will be completed. You can find more information on this wiki page: https://github.com/digitalmethodsinitiative/dmi-tcat/wiki/The-Future-of-TCAT.
