Hello, My name is Peter Stott. I have been working with heritage inventories for the better part of three decades, both in the US and at the World Heritage Centre (UNESCO). Watching heritage inventories expand (and sometimes being part of that expansion) has been exciting, especially in the last two decades, as more organizations make their materials available online. In Massachusetts, we are just now completing the last few weeks of a six-year project to put the statewide historic resource inventory on line (http://mhc-macris.net/). Nonetheless, we as discipline don't seem much closer to making these systems compatible. I hope that Arches (as well as the foundation work of the Council of Europe, the Getty, and other organizations) will allow heritage organizations to move closer toward that holy grail "interoperability"!
My programming skills are minimal, and I am sure in other posts, I will be asking for help as I move through the installation Arches (and Python, Java et al.)! >From my window, I see the iconic stacks of the South Boston Power Station, once the Edison Electric Illuminating Company's landmark 1902 generating station. A cross-platform search of hundreds of heritage databases for the heritage of electric power generation (or other themes) would be an exciting accomplishment! Looking forward to learning more Peter Stott > -- -- To post, send email to [email protected]. To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected].
