[Arches] Re: Arches Community Forum launch scheduled for June 1st

[Edmund Lee]

Thanks for the shout-out Lindsay!  It's been enormous fun to read all the 
'Signing posts' here since August 2013 (over 5,400 views :-). Thank you all 
for sharing your 'views out the window' in the last 8 years.

I'm looking forward to joining the new Discourse community for Arches. It's 
always a bit of a bother having to digitally 'move house' as it were,  but  
the new Discourse community has some great additional features to help 
everyone to share their expertise and to learn from others. 

Hope I'll be seeing you all there.

Ed

Good to meet you Maritza, and thank you for Signing In. I think this must 
be the oldest thread on the Google Group for Arches now ... I see I started 
in in March 2013. So lots of expertise to draw on, and good to have your 
perspective on MapBox..

[Arches] Re: Signing in

[Edmund Lee]

Hello Antione, and welcome to the Arches project Google group. It must be 
fascinating to be involved in such a internationally significant project as 
REPERAGE, and to work through how Arches software for recording inventories 
at a landscape or area level can be applied to work on a single building 
such as Notre-Dame de Paris. Is anyone else using Arches just for a single 
building or site?

Your part of the world looks truly beautiful

[Arches] Re: Signing in

[Edmund Lee]

Hello Hien, and a very warm if belated welcome to the Arches Google Group. 
Thanks for Signing In. Here you will find a global network of expertise in 
the deployment of Arches, and I trust the community will be able to answer 
any questions you have. I've never had the chance to visit New Jersey, but 
hope to be able to at some point in the future when we can all travel and 
meet in the real world. It looks beautiful and very historic.

[Arches] Re: Other Arches live installations

[Edmund Lee]

Hello all,

It's been a while (2 years!) since this thread went quiet, so I thought the 
year end for those of us on the Gregorian calendar might be a good moment 
to put out a call for news of live Arches installations around the globe. 
Why not share a link to your Arches-based system here and bask in the glory?

Hi Chris. It was good to meet you the other day, and to welcome you today 
to the Arches community! With your membership, there's now 440 people 
around the globe asking questions and providing practical comments here, so 
I hope it will be a useful resource for colleagues working on Arches-based 
projects at Historic England.

We are rather lucky with the views from Canon Bridge House aren't we...

All the best

Welcome! Many thanks for signing in Pat and sharing your experience and 
interests with us all. What a fascinating life! You have definitely come to 
the right place. Here you will find the gurus that you seek to help you on 
the next stage of your learning journey, and make sure you are not 'all at 
sea' when you are at sea.

Contributions to improve the install script based on your experience would 
be a great help. Do start that as a separate thread if you want to discuss 
it with the group.

All the best

[Arches] Marking the day - 5 years of open sharing of Arches expertise

[Edmund Lee]

Hey everybody,

We reach what feels like an important milestone today - 5 years since the 
Arches Project Google group was opened up as a public resource. If you dig 
into the message archive you'll see that the group first started up a year 
or more before that, following a project meeting hosted by the Getty in LA 
in June 2012. But from 22nd August 2013 this group was open up for everyone 
with an interest in the Arches software.

It's a day to acknowledge the sharing of expertise, and the attention given 
by 400+ members from pretty much every continent (don't think there's an 
Arches installation in Antarctica... yet) talking about 600+ different 
topics.

I say "Happy Birthday", "Feliz Compleanos", "Eid milad said", "Bon 
Anniversaire", "alles Gute zum Geburtstag"  Arches experts! ( ...and please 
do add your own translation...)

Great to hear from you Jens, and thanks for signing in. I'm sure the 
expertise you will find in this community can help you evaluate Arches, so 
do ask any questions that occur to you.
What project takes you from Wessex to Berlin?

All the best

Many thanks for signing in Kasaqa - we now have a community here of over 
400 members from around the world working to improve documentation of 
humanity's cultural heritage using the Arches software package. I too am 
enjoying the sunshine in Swindon in central southern England, although the 
view is rather obscured by scaffolding put up around the 19th century 
building I work in.

You are very welcome to the Arches forum Michel! Here you will find many 
contacts working with the documentation of sites to help manage their 
conservation. Do have a look at the Arches project website for 
documentation of the system, and ask any questions you may have here on the 
Forum. I'm glad to hear you can see some heritage from your window!

Hi David, and welcome to the Arches community!

It's good to hear that Arches is being adopted at Jersey Heritage. Maybe 
you could post a bit more about the particular issues arising with that 
installation? I'm sure your experience will be useful to other Arches sites.

The PhD sounds fascinating. Do you see a potential use for Arches in 
documenting your research? Animal husbandry sites? Collection 
documentation? Prehistoric transhumance routeways?

All the best

Ed

Hi Matt, and welcome to the Arches community! It's good to hear from you. 
You'll find a mix of deep coding skills and broad heritage expertise here 
to help and advise, and to learn from your experience. Could you maybe say 
a bit more about what the UDS is used for at Historic England? I see you 
also posted about documentation. I'll leave Arches project team folk to 
respond to that - there is a lot available, so do ask specific questions if 
you need to know more.

All the best

[Arches] Re: Resource graph - Related resources for node

[Edmund Lee]

Fascinating request Vince, thanks for raising it - I'd be interested to see 
how Arches handles this use case as well. It's a common heritage issue - 
either competing or equally valid interpretations of a given artefact or 
site based on the (always) limited evidence that archaeology provides. From 
my recording experience (way back when) a typical problem might be that 
aerial photography has identified a site as a crop-mark, but we don't have 
any dating evidence (so in the U.K. it could date from anywhere between say 
4000 BCE or 2000 CE). It could be an IRON AGE / DEFENDED ENCLOSURE, or it 
could equally be a MID TWENTIETH CENTURY / ANTI AIRCRAFT BATTERY (a rather 
extreme example, but possible). For a user coming to that record, it would 
be helpful to have insight into which authority had suggested which 
interpretation.

A bit off-topic for this group, but in a troubled world open-source

thanks to all US-based contributors to the Arches project. Hope you enjoy 
the holiday.

Re: [Arches] Re: Arches M2M Interface for Metadata Harvesting?

[Edmund Lee]

Thanks Adam,

I am, I'll admit, out of my comfort zone here, but is there any mileage in 
considering the existing mappings to the CIDOC CRM ontology available at 
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crm_mappings.html ? Does Arches (or could someone 
with some Arches development expertise) set things up so that an Arches 
database could provide data in another standardised format, if there is an 
existing mapping to the CRM to assist them?

All the best

Sounds lovely Jim - thanks!

We're now up to 317 members in this group. That's a lot of expertise...

If anyone else who has joined recently would like to share a bit about 
themselves, their interest in Arches, (and what they can see out the 
window) that would be great.

All the best

Hello Jim, and welcome to the Arches community!

As far as I can tell (though others may correct me - which would be great) 
you are the first to mention historic garden recording here. From an 
English perspective, of course, gardens are something of an obsession, and 
we have a special register of nationally protected heritage just covering 
parks and gardens - see 
https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/registered-parks-and-gardens/

Is anyone else working on horticultural heritage? How does Arches cope with 
recording assets which are alive... any special data requirements?

Do remember to let us know what you can see out the window Jim!

All good wishes

Ed

You are very welcome Basav!

Here you will find a mix of people with interests in both the technical 
side of Arches and the heritage specialists whose work it supports. Do 
please ask any questions you may have about the system.

With all good wishes

Hi Sara and welcome to the Group!

It's great to be welcoming a new member almost four years to the day after 
the meeting, at the Getty in Los Angeles, that set up this group to support 
the Arches project. A happy time for all of us who were there to remember. 
The group here now has wide ranging expertise in the development, 
installation and use of Arches to manage heritage, but I think you are the 
first to be able to sign in with a link to an entry in a live Arches 
installation recording what you can see out of the window! The first of 
many I am sure.

All the best
Edmund

Welcome to the Arches group Peter! here you will find no less than 311 
colleagues from around the world who share your interest and can help 
answer questions. So far its mostly on the technical side, and that is very 
welcome! but as a heritage management professional rather than an IT 
specialist I would also be interested to hear more about the different ways 
people approach the broader questions in managing heritage data. But that's 
maybe for another discussion thread.

All the best

[Arches] Re: Storing related project / contract information

[Edmund Lee]

Hi Ali,

In case it helps your thinking, the MIDAS Heritage data standard developed 
for United Kingdom datasets covered Heritage Asset Management Activities. 
It's available to download at 
http://www.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/midas-heritage/ 
.You'll 
find the relevant bit on (pages 45-47), but you might need to skim through 
the Introduction to see how this fits in.

MIDAS defines these activities very broadly as 

"Activities undertaken to prevent damage to, or promote the survival of, 
Heritage Assets." 


I hope that proves useful - I know that MIDAS was one of the influences on 
Arches ontology development.


CIDOC-CRM = 'interesting + scary'. I agree!

[Arches] Re: Storing related project / contract information

[Edmund Lee]

Hi again Ali,

That's an interesting extension to Arches. Perhaps you could say a bit more 
about the type of contract and project work you have in mind? Are you 
looking to Arches to provide active project management support (e.g. 
tracking tasks and schedules for time and cost) or as a more passive 
repository of associated documentation? Or both? 

Best wishes

Ed

[Arches] Re: Best practices for place data not meant for publication

[Edmund Lee]

I would second this (+1) as a valuable additional feature for Arches. While 
personally I'm very much on the Open Information side, there are sites 
which need to be managed (and receorded in systems such as Arches) without 
making precise locational information availailable to all.

Hello Asmaa! and a warm welcome to the Arches project forum - I'm sorry 
it's taken a while to respond.
 
You will find many projects working on ancient sites in the Mediteranean 
mentioned in the forum, so I'm sure you will be able to find relevant 
expertise and help here.
 
It's great to have a forum member who notices the pigeons! I too see

It's great to hear such enthusiasm for the software that supports the 
Arches application - do encourage your friends to have a look at the Arches 
website.
 
There are also many specialists in heritage on this group  who can answer 
questions about why it is important to record historical sites.

application of Arches for use in future versions of the software 
documentation, particularly that aimed at end users.
 
Any thoughts on that?
 
All good wishes
 
Ed

Hi Lucy,
 
Welcome Lucy! that sounds like a facsinating project, and an amazing place 
to work. Do feel free to post more about your project as it develops - I'm 
sure we will all be envious.
 
Shame about the view of the pyramids.. I was going to* insist* that you 
post a photo :-). But what you can see sounds beautiful too.
 
Just an update on the view from my window... There is now a new block of 
apartments built on the site of the Engineering shed at the Great Western 
Railway site at Swindon in the UK which rather obscures my view of the 19th 
century industrial architecture. But I can still just see the roof of the 
Pattern Store (now a pizza restaurant)

 Hi everyone,

 I am working for the Theban Mapping project and we are going to adopt 
 Arches version 3 for a database of all archaeological sites and monuments 
 in Egypt. 
 I have an Archaeology degree and have worked with commercial software as a 
 project manager/analyst and also have website design experience.
 I am working in New Cairo, Egypt on the Campus of the American University 
 in Cairo. This is a very beautiful, new campus in the desert some 20 miles 
 from downtown Cairo. 
 I would like to say that I can see the Great Pyramids from my window but I 
 cannot. However, I can see some beautiful modern Islamic architecture, palm 
 trees and lots of sand!

[Edmund Lee]

Hello Prakhar, and welcome to the Arches project forum!

Many thanks for sharing your experience with us, and for your enthusiasm 
for the work we are doing here.

Other members of the forum will be able to suggest areas that you can 
assist with. I just wanted to say 'hi' and invite you to share a bit more 
about where you are working, what inspires you about heritage, and maybe 
what you can see out the window :-). Our 'Sigining In' thread for the forum 
is at 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/archesproject/K8LGizXh1a0/TAIyXMYmwgUJ so 
have a look at what others have posted there, and, if you would like to, 
add your own post.

All good wishes

Ed

Re: [Arches] Arches documentation has a new home!

[Edmund Lee]

Hi Yiannis, Arches folks,

I have three days personal development leave available this year which I'd 
be happy to use on reworking (or starting reworking) the User Guide, if 
that would help, and its not too late? I've no experience with Pandoc (but 
that would be the 'development' bit :-). Not sure how far I could get, and 
the timing may need to be flexible, but happy to make a start on it. Let me 
know.

Any other volunteers out there who wuuld like to collaborate on this? e.g. 
One thing I think the User Guide could benefit from is some use case 
stories from the growing number of folk using Arches for real...

All the best

Ed

  We only have the Installation Guide up on ReadTheDocs, thanks to Alexei. 
 One of these days I'll learn reStructuredText and I'll transfer the User 
 Guide there too (or I'll learn to code and I'll create a Markdown to 
 reStructuredText converter, but that might take a little longer). If anyone 
 else would like to take that on, please reply to this thread!

 Maybe the open source Pandoc converter can already do this?  Worth a 
 look...

 Best,

A very much delayed 'hello' to Daniel, and also 'Hello and Welcome' to 
Joon, Carlo, Jyoti, Walter, Tom and Alban who have also joined us on Arches 
while I was on a long and much enjoyed vacation, and an even longer period 
of catching up on other stuff. 

We now have just under 200 members on the group - a whole conference hall 
full! and an amazing collection of technical and heritage talent.

If you haven't had a chance to, do so, do check out the project web page at 
http://archesproject.org/, the installation and user guides at  
http://archesproject.org/documentation/ or the developers page and links to 
the code source at http://archesproject.org/development/

Do also please feel welcome to reply to this thread if you would like to 
tell us all a bit about your interests in Arches, where you work, and the 
crucial 3rd question 'What can you see out the window'

Looking forward to hearung from you,

Ed

 Hi Everyone,

 I'm very excited to learn about the Arches Project and to participate in 
 this form.  I teach history and historic preservation at the University of 
 Louisville, Kentucky.  I have worked in historic preservation for about 20 
 years, including stints with the South Carolina State Historic Preservation 
 Office and the U.S. National Park Service.  I'm particularly interested in 
 using Arches for teaching purposes -- introducing students to documentation 
 methods -- and documenting buildings and sites in the lower Midwest.

 Hello all, ... and welcome in particular to those who have joined the 
 Arches Discussion Forum recently.

 This online group was initially set up for the project team, and has just 
 recently been opened up as the public, so some of us haven't met before. 
 How about we all share a bit of background, just like we would if we were 
 meeting in the real world? If that sounds good to you, reply to this thread 
 and share with the group some or all of the following:

- what is your interest in Arches?


- where in the world are you working?

 and, just to make it a bit more fun,

- what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your 
view?

 I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better!


 Ed
