[Arches] Re: Is Arches useful to manage heritage or just to describe and visualize

[Dennis Wuthrich]

Hi Mark,

Yes, we know of Arches users who define "managing" heritage as ongoing 
activities that document the condition of a heritage assets, linking 
documents that describe interventions, and activities that evaluate a 
heritage object with the goal of determining whether it is suitable for 
enhanced protection status. 

We're also starting to look at creating an Arches application that would 
allow organizations to formally track the case work, communications, 
mitigation requirements, and monitoring efforts associated with permit 
applications and how they might impact heritage resources.

Really, Arches has been designed to allow you to define how you want to 
"manage" heritage.  Arches can track the information associated with 
managing heritage, and it will allow you to implement management workflows 
(via Python and Javascript) if you need to implement sophisticated 
management workflows.

Hope this helps,

Dennis

[Arches] Re: Monitoring and risk mapping Feature question

[Dennis Wuthrich]

Hi Xavier,

Arches is pretty flexible and allows you to define the scope and content of 
the monitoring and risk mapping that you want to implement.  For example, 
you could use Arches to track the risk exposure heritage objects have to 
environmental risks (e.g.: risk of damage due to fires, earthquake, 
flooding) or other events (e.g.: re-alignment of a road, redevelopment of 
an area, or altered development policy for an area) using Arches' 
integrated GIS.  Alternatively, you could integrate existing GIS 
data/services into Arches.  And, if you're concerned about risks that 
aren't geospatial (risk of adverse effects due to reduced funding of 
maintenance activities), you define your risk model in Arches.  Simple 
models (such as "High", "Medium", and "Low") are easy to implement.  You 
can implement much more sophisticated risk models using Arches' ability to 
associate functions written in Python. 

The same is true for monitoring heritage objects.  Arches allows you to 
define the information you wish to manage over the course of your 
monitoring efforts.  Simple monitoring might include a statement of the 
condition of and object at a point in time and include photos documenting 
the condition.  More sophisticated monitoring workflows can be implemented 
as functions, or even as full-blown Arches applications.

Hope this is helpful,

Dennis

[Arches] Is Arches useful to manage heritage or just to describe and visualize

[Marc Hernandez]

I'd like to know about your expierence using Arches to manage heritage (and not 
only describing and visializing it). What can be done in that "managing" sense? 
In othwr words, how do heritage experts use Arches  to manage heritge besides 
docummenting and visualizing buildings? Monotoring? Linking files and 
interventions? Any examples of managing uses out there? Thank you very much!

Re: [Arches] Adding Tileserver Layers

(...) all ok now, the problem was in the mapbox layer (I deleted the

[Arches] Monitoring and risk mapping Feature question

[Xavier Prat]

Hello,

I read in the Arches 4 fact sheet the followin feature about the platform:

--> monitoring and risk mapping.

I wonder if could i got some examples about this feature. Which is the 
strategy to map risks under Arches? And what kind of risks are you talking 
about in this fact sheet?


thank you

Xavier Prat

[Arches] User permissions in Arches - Django

[Arnau Forner]

Hello,

In the Django admin I see that there are some groups:

   - graph editor
   - application administrator
   - crowdsource editor
   - etc.

And also many permissions:

   - models | node group | delete
   - models | node group | read
   - etc.
   
For example the Application Administrator group has just one permission: 
models | node group | read, while Graph Editor has also delete and 
create/update permissions.

This is what I have observed:

   - When I log into Arches with a user that is part of the Application 
   Administrator group it has access to all functionalities
   - While when I log in with a user that is part of the Graph Editor 
   group, though it has more permissions granted, I can do less things in 
   Arches
   - If I make a new group and I grant the same only permission that the 
   Application Administrator group has, I don't have the same functionalities 
   available when I log in.
   - If I make a new group and I grant the same permissions that the Graph 
   Editor group has, I don't have the same functionalities available when I 
   log in.

*Regarding all this, we don't understand the behavior of permissions in 
Arches - django.*
*I don't see a direction correlation between granting permissions and 
functionalities available in Arches.*
*Are we missing something? Did we miss some configuration?*
*Is there some documentation of what do all permissions mean? *

We are currently working in a project to implement Arches and we need to 
create very specific users with specific roles in order to satisfy the 
project needs.

Thank you!

Arnau
