I am a newbie to Arches. Recently I was asked by a dear friend of mine if I could help her with an initiative that really resonated with me. She is working on trying to put together a Geo-spatial inventory for Heritage sites in a region in India. She works with several conservation initiatives within the region. She mentioned Arches to me and I managed to install Arches Framework with some amount of difficulty on a Ubuntu environment on my Mac. It almost took me a week to get it up and running primarily because of my unfamiliarity with the Open source world and the whole lot of dependencies that are there between various packages that Arches uses. Anyhow, the good news is that I have been able to get Arches installed.
Just to set the context of what she wants done is ... There are close to 500 heritage sites within the Region she is targeting. She has a lot of pictures, lots of documentation detailing the sites that includes a historical, geographical, cultural perspective and all of that is in Word document format. As I read through the material on the ArchesProject website, i could not help but admire the wonderful work that may have gone in creating this framework. However, my lack of familiarity with the whole Heritage management piece is somewhat like a barrier considering that I am more of IT person. The reason i am writing here on this forum is to solicit help from some of you practitioners to guide me on the following: a) What are the various steps that are involved in taking up a project of this kind b) Typically how much time does each step take c) Are there any recommended approaches that one can take with respect to Requirement speccing, Design, Development, Testing and Deployment phases of the project d) What are the approaches to data uploads one can take, i understand from the documentation that bulk uploads are possible but i am not quite sure how If any of you have put together a BoK of sorts that you can share, that would be really awesome. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Atul Mathur -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com. To unsubscribe, send email to archesproject+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
