Hi Adam thanks for posting here, and welcome to the Arches project community! 
I’m sure you will find here all the expertise you need to advise you on 
installation and conversion of Arches and your existing data, so do ask review 
the existing forum posts and start new threads if you need to.

The option to develop a new resource type for graves sounds good – I’ll leave 
it to the more technically minded colleagues on the group to advise further.

I just Googled the American Cemetery – it does indeed look a peaceful place.

Hello all,

My name is Adam Cox, and I'm currently putting a proposal together to implement 
arches for the Cane River National Heritage Area here in Natchitoches, 
Louisiana (USA).  The project won't begin until this fall, hopefully by 
October, but I'm really looking forward to carrying out this operation.  The 
heritage area already has a local resource file geodatabase (ESRI-style) that 
was commissioned a few years ago, but it really isn't very accessible.  
Therefore, the built-in web front-end that Arches provides is very appealing to 
the parties involved.  So, the project will really be an installation and 
conversion endeavor.  I'm very interested to see what comes out of the SOC, as 
the top priority projects are all pieces that foresee as very useful to me, and 
the larger success of Arches.

I expect to do a test install with the standard resource types, but am really 
interested in the ability to customize and create new resource types (forgive 
me, I'm still working on the Arches lingo).  Specifically, one of the most 
important cultural resource categories down here are graves, and I will be 
incorporating at least one full cemetery.  A resource type specifically for 
graves is something I'm very interested in developing for my installation.  I 
have experience with Python, mostly in an ESRI setting, so I also look forward 
to diving into the source code...

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!

Great to hear from you Peter and welcome to the Arches Project Forum!

You’ll find here a happy mix of heritage folk (such as myself – ‘programming’ 
for me began and ended with BASIC in the 1980’s…) and IT specialists from 
around the planet. There’s bound to be someone out there who can assist with 
your question, or, if not help get something fixed.

The power station you can see sounds great –  English Heritage, has put a lot 
of energy (no pun intended) into historic infrastructure projects (see for 
example http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/research-news-17-18/ 
and http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/conservation-bulletin-65/ ) 
and it’s a global area of interest, so maybe that electric power generation 
cross-search isn’t so far off.

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.)!

Hi Imdad! and welcome to the Arches project forum.

There’s a good mix of computer specialists and heritage specialists on the list 
so I’m sure you will be able to find help developing an idea. For the GSOC you 
need to pull together an application, as I’m sure you are aware. Have a look at 
other posts on the list, particularly the advice given to other GSOC applicants 
from project participants, in particular Dennis Wuthrich, Alexei Peters, Rob 
Gaston and Karl Fogel. You can see all the previous discussions at 
http://archesproject.org/forum/

And do have a look at the ‘Signing In’ thread to find out a bit more about us – 
and share your interests.

Hi,

I am currently a Computer Science student enrolled at King's College London. I 
am finishing my third placement year with General Electric Oil & Gas and was 
seeking an opportunity to work on GSOC to have some fun whilst improving my 
programming skills :)

I was particularly interested in the 'Import/Export Improvements' project as I 
would like to further my career in Web Development. I have experience with Java 
(inc. multi-threaded programming), PHP (currently developing a content 
management system using Laravel Framework) and am familiar with Restful 
Controllers. Although I haven't learn Python, like many other languages I'm 
sure I could pick up along the way.

Just hoping to see if I would be considered for a role on this project or if 
there was another one available more suited towards my skills

Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you

Regards,
Imdad

RE: [Arches] Re: We are now in GSoC Student Application period.

[Lee, Edmund]

Hi Sindhu,

For a deep understanding of the reasoning used by archaeologists in 
representing temporal periods, you might like to read the 2004 paper  
'Supporting Chronological Reasoning in Archaeology' by Martin Doerr of the ICS 
Forth research institute in Crete, one of the authors of the CIDOC Conceptual 
Reference Model standard ontology that underpins Arches. That's available 
online at
https://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/publications/paperlink/caa2004_supporting_chronological_reasoning.pdf

Good luck!

Ed

>
Abstract. This paper is a study on the formal representation of the information 
concerning archaeological finds and historical data that is relevant to the 
discourse about chronology. It aims at contributing to the theoretical 
foundations of chronological reasoning in Archaeology. Starting from the 
ontological analysis of the CIDOC CRM (ISO/CD21127), we define and classify 
elements of archaeological and historical evidence through the kinds of their 
chronological consequences and the complexity of chronological reasoning that 
they can support. Our work also aims at identifying broad categories that may 
allow for generalization and unification of the vast variety of methods 
discussed in the literature. Moreover, we identify five classes of evidence and 
background knowledge for temporal reasoning, and suggest a generalized 
interval-based formalism.

Subject: Re: [Arches] Re: We are now in GSoC Student Application period.

Hi Sindhu,

I can give you a bit more detail on the Spatio-Temporal relationships idea for 
Arches.

There are really two ways to think about spatial and temporal data in Arches.  
One way is to consider how time affects the interpretation of cultural 
heritage.  For example, periods (like the neolithic) are expressed as "years 
before present".  But the neolithic period has different "time before present" 
values depending on where you are (e.g.: England vs. Greece vs. Australia).  So 
there is a spatial component to the concept of periods.  And this relationship 
could be incorporated into Arches graphs and thesauri.

A second way to think about spatio-temporal relationships is to consider how 
they could be used to enhance filtering an Arches database for records.  
Perhaps there is a way to better query an Arches database (and improve the 
search UI) by implementing better temporal filtering of resources.

The first (graph-based) way is pretty theoretical, and would be best suited for 
some one interested in working closely with the CIDOC CRM and resource graphs.  
The second idea is much more practical, as it would focus on enhancing how 
users query Arches to find specific records.

Hope this provides some guidance for you and your proposal.

Cheers,

Dennis Wuthrich

Hello,

I am Akshay Upadhyay, pursuing Master degree(M.Tech) in Spatial Information 
Technology from DAVV university, India, Madhya Pradesh(state) and am fascinated 
by GIS and MAPs working, as it is said “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

I have an experience working with Shapefile, Kml, GeoJSON, QGIS and with other 
GIS tools. Please see the link of my project i.e Shapefile to SVG 
Map, which reads shapefile information i.e 
from shp and dbf file and converts and display the same as an SVG vector Map.

 *   what is your interest in Arches?
--->  Arches project being an open source, comes up with an unique idea to 
bring Heritage inventory and management system digitally where we need
to deal with location and its attribute values properly. Widely used Shapefile 
is one of the non topological gis vector file. As I have a good
experience dealing with shapefile byte by byte, i want to accomplish and work 
for "Workflow for Uploading GIS Shapefiles" project by joining in through the 
Google Summer of Code.

 *   where in the world are you working?
--->  INDIA,
   Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

 *   what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your view?
---> I am seeing a garden, with a small temple placed in center of it where i 
can hear and feel temple bell sound.

Looking forward to have a good time here.

Thanks and Regards,
Akshay Upadhyay

Hi Daphne, welcome to the Arches project group! Thanks for sharing this 
information about your interests in Arches and in heritage documentation. Do 
feel free to use the other threads on this discussion group to ask questions, 
and contribute to finding answers for other members of this growing online 
community. You’ll find a mix of computer and programming specialists along with 
those who work in organisations that manage heritage inventories, such as me.

You’ll maybe have seen from the project website the articles by the project 
team that development of Arches  sprang from concern for the fate of 
archaeological sites in Iraq following the 2003 invasion.

http://archesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Arches_GCINewsletter_Fall2013.pdf

War and heritage inventories have a much longer history than that, however. In 
the U.K. where I work, the earliest consistent records of archaeological sites 
were made by the Ordnance Survey, which, as the name suggests, were maps made 
during the Napoleonic war with France in the early 19th century to plan 
movement of troops and heavy artillery in areas likely to be invaded. Many of 
the historic buildings in England were first systematically photographed when 
under threat from bombing during the Second World War. Both of these records 
eventually ended up forming the core of the datasets managed by English 
Heritage available via PastScape http://www.pastscape.org.uk/

I’m sorry to hear you haven’t got a view to report! Hope that improves,

All good wishes

Hello, everyone.

I'm Daphne, and I'm currently a student at the University of Toronto in Canada. 
I started off as an archaeological science and computer science double major, 
but have since leaned more towards the computer science side. I was really 
excited to discover Arches on the GSoC site because it helps to solve a problem 
I've personally encountered. In my cartography class last year, I wanted to do 
a research project on the proximity of violence during the War in Afghanistan 
to the country's archaeological sites. I found the website of a phd student who 
had mapped many of the heritage sites in Afghanistan, but unfortunately he had 
only released this data as a jpg, and the image was too small-scale to be of 
use to me. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into contact with the guy to 
ask him for his data.

This is a huge problem in archaeology. In the excavations I've been on, records 
were still in large part done by hand, and even when they are digitized, there 
isn't always a straightforward path available for researchers to make this data 
publicly accessible. Arches looks like it's taking a big step toward addressing 
this, and I hope to have some time in the next few days to start familiarizing 
myself with its implementation.

Unfortunately right now I am working in a windowless computer lab on campus :( 
but I look forward to finally having some sunny days that aren't freezing later 
this week.

[Arches] Handling complex geometries - maybe 3D?

[Lee, Edmund]

Hi Utsav,

Glad to hear you like Stonehenge! It is one of the historic places in the care 
of English Heritage, my employer in the UK, and we’re all rather proud of it. 
There’s more on our website at 
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/stonehenge/

Your thoughts about StreetView prompted me to answer in a new thread, using the 
title for one of the GSoC Ideas from http://archesproject.org/ideas/  I hope 
that’s OK?

I’ve been thinking that most heritage inventories record in 2D – basically 
dots, lines and polygons on maps. The Idea listed by the project is to develop 
Arches to handle the complex polygons that are needed to appropriately record 
complex sites in two dimensions. But could we extend that idea to include 3D 
representation of sites? Increasingly archaeologists record data in3D in the 
field using techniques such as Lidar 
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/research/landscapes-and-areas/aerial-survey/archaeology/lidar/
 . They also create 3D representations of sites, both for presentation, and as 
a way to learn more about the construction and use of sites. But those 3D data 
don’t normally end up in the heritage inventory. Maybe this is something Arches 
could look at in the future? Maybe more Google Earth than Google Streetview.

It sounds like you have a project already thought out, and I don’t want to 
distract you from that, but I hope it’s OK to raise this possibility from the 
perspective of a heritage inventory user.

Anyone else got any ideas along this line?

 I looked up Stonehenge from this url and it just seems 
fascinating to me really how much more we can do with arches. :)

As i have set-up arches on my Ubuntu, i found out that Stonehenge has been 
described vividly by arches and it looks great :)

It seems to me it would be a good idea to expand arches to set-up another 
prehistoric monument.:)

I know this wouldn't be easy so i want to divide it into phases:

Phase 1: (Must do phase) The minimum i want to do with my project is that i 
would want to make sure i have a   new prehistoric monument with all it's 
inventories available on arches.

Phase 2:(If time permits)This url i embedded above in 
this post also has a street view available.Street view seems a fascinating 
concept,you can have the actual experience of visiting a site
(i)if you use the google street view api(link) and
(ii)if you can upload panorama pics of the site.
So this may seem a little ambitious but if we are allowed to take a panoramic 
view,it will make google street view possible and make our project look so good.


All explained,i do need a prehistoric site to base my project on and i want the 
forum to decide which site would be the best. :)


Cheers :)

Hi! :)

My name is Marju Niinemaa and I'm studying IT Systems Development at Estonian 
IT College. I have coded only little over a year and half but I am really eager 
to learn. I have basic knowledge of Python, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, MySQL, Java 
and Ruby.

The reason why I fell in love with Arches is that I have a MA in history and 
projects like Arches made me want to learn to code. I like the opportunity to 
create amazing projects to historians to give them better access to data and 
also to society to have a better visual access to historical data. I have 
worked at Estonian National Arcives and in one small museum, Harju County 
Museum. Both jobs were related to databases. As a historian I know how the 
userside and as a programmer I can relate to technical side.

Arches is a project I want to take part in. I would like to learn more about 
the visualization and user expericence. And I just started to explore the code 
from Bitbucket. I got Arches up and running on my laptop. It really looks 
amazing project. Keeping up the good work!

where in the world are you working?

Hi everyone,

I'm hailing from Singapore. Currently a Master of Science (Information Systems) 
student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I got to know about 
Arches from Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and I intend to apply to GSoC 2014.

I am a self-professed history/archives/heritage geek. I did an internship stint 
at NUS Hollywood Lab & UCLA Hypermedia Studio and worked on the Remapping 
LA: 
Hollywood Place project. Then I did another internship stint at Asian Film 
Archive, mainly web development and maintenance. 
My last project I went on to try to revive the long forgotten Eusoff Archives 
for Eusoff Hall, a residential college of 50 
years. I have always wanted to contribute more in the cultural heritage scene.

So when Arches popped-out from the list of approved mentoring organization, I 
almost jumped out of my chair. Arches seems to be the perfect tool for the 
Bukit Brown Cemetery* project that I 
might be working on with my university professor after my Master's 
dissertation! It is open source too!

I am familiar with Python as I'm using pandas to analyse JSON data for my 
dissertation. I would rate my JavaScript and CSS3/HTML5 knowledge as 
intermediate. I went through the Django tutorial once some time ago, probably 
need a refresher.

Looking at the list of suggested ideas, it 
would seem that these are the ones that I think I could handle:-

 1.  User Settings
 2.  Admin UI Improvements .
 3.  Richer CRM Classes for GIS data looks interesting.

*   I was introduced to ontologies and RDF in the Information Architecture 
and Design class last semester. So I think I'm still quite new to the area. It 
will be great if there are more information on what exactly are the classes and 
how would the incorporation processes look like?

what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your view?
As I look out of my window, I see a typically quiet estate as it's Sunday 
morning. Even the demolition work down the street took a break today. As 
Singapore is an island state and land is scarce, the struggle between progress 
and heritage preservation is very real. Case in point, my housing estate was 
built circa 1976 and many people lived and grew up here. Despite the 
significance of it, one whole section of housing units are currently being 
demolished to make way for newer buildings.

In Singapore, anything more than 20 years old is considered old. My housing 
estate is merely one among many similar projects across the island. The most 
prominent one is the aforementioned *Bukit 
Brown (BB), a cemetery for pioneering 
Chinese immigrants tracing back to the mid-nineteenth century. It is said to be 
the largest Chinese cemetery outside of China. But that doesn't stop the 
government from initiating plans to bisect BB with a major thoroughfare and 
repurpose it for housing. Exhumations of several thousand graces has already 
begun in December 2013. This issue has garnered international attention and 
Bukit Brown has just got listed as a World Monument Watch 
Site (2014). As it is unlikely the 
government will change its mind now, we are trying our best to document and 
preserve as many information about the graves and the cemetery. Arches seems to 
be a perfect fit for this project.



So yup, I have checked out the arches source code from bitbucket, tested the 
3GB VM and vagrant is building arches as I type.

All in all, I am ready to get my hands dirty and have a great time. :D

Hello everyone,

I am Harsh and I am a 3rd year undergraduate student from India. I have a 
experience working in Python and C. Currently I am learning Java. I also have 
some knowledge of PHP.

Interest in Arches - I read about the project on the project website and found 
it interesting. I think that the work being done by the team is really 
commendable. Moreover keeping it open source is just a brilliant idea. I would 
love to contribute to make the project better.

Location - I am currently working from my hostel room in a small town called 
Pilani located in the state of Rajasthan in India.

Outside my window - There is nothing much to see outside my window apart from 
the front lawn of my hostel. But, in the past I have seen many heritage sites 
all over the country.

Hello Prashant, and welcome to Arches! Do please continue to use the group to 
find out more about the project,  to ask questions, and to contact other 
project members. Theres plenty more on the project website at

I’m sorry to hear that the view from your window isn’t so good. I used to be 
able to see a fine medieval church, but now there are houses being built in the 
way…

Hi Dominic, welcome to the group!

Do read through the messages on the Google Group page 
http://archesproject.org/forum/ , and have a look at the Ideas page for the 
project http://archesproject.org/ideas/ . There is also a well established bug 
tracker in the BitBucket page for the project, and a Road Map for the project 
overall linked to from http://archesproject.org/development/ .

York is an amazing city – I’m lucky enough to visit quite often as English 
Heritage has an office there.

All good wishes,

Ed

Hi all,

I'm Dominic, a first year undergrad CS student at York, UK. I'm a mature 
student and also have a BA in Archaeology and Anthropology.

 *   what is your interest in Arches?

*   This seems to be a real step towards bringing Archaeology and Cultural 
Resource Management into the information age - it's the sort of thing I wished 
I could have worked on when I studied and worked in Archaeology, and look 
forward to contributing now that I've found it. I'm hoping to join in through 
the Google Summer of Code, but even if that doesn't happen I'll hopefully 
contribute somewhat anyway when I can.

 *   where in the world are you working?

*   York, UK.

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

*   Not directly out of my window, but if I step out to the street I can 
see the city walls and Walmgate Bar, and the Minster is only a few minutes walk 
away.
I have experience in Python, Java, and web development, and some knowledge of 
SQL, C, and Android development.

I'm on IRC as Beornwulf, and look forward to getting to know people and working 
with you all.

Dominic

Hello all,

I am a CS student from National University of Singapore, I am interested in 
Arches gsoc Mobile App project.

I have some experience on iOS development and have an app on App Store.

I want to know if Arches provides any sort of API for mobile app to get 
heritage data?

Currently I am an exchange student at University of Waterloo, Canada. Looking 
out from my window, I just see snow everywhere.

Hello Aditya, Niharika and Krutarth, and let me be the first to welcome to the 
Arches project group!

You will find here an amazing mix of skill sets – technical specialists such as 
yourselves, and archaeologists and heritage people who have some enormously 
interesting datasets to work with from around the world. Do feel free to ask 
questions about the Arches project here on this list. I believe project 
participants in the USA are setting up IRC chat functions as well so there will 
be lots of ways for us to support you.

There’s plenty more information about the types of information archaeologists 
work with on the project website at 
http://archesproject.org/heritage-inventories/  and the sorts of heritage 
inventories the Arches software can support at  
http://archesproject.org/materials/

Just seconding that request, and also hoping that people send their replies 
here to the group (or are okay with Annabel forwarding them here).  Having an 
overall picture of where Arches is being tried & used would be very useful.  
And, of course, as Annabel mentioned, it allows people to notice when different 
groups are trying similar things.

RE: [Arches] Need ideas list, etc for Google Summer of Code application.

[Lee, Edmund]

Hi Karl,

That sounds very exciting - I think Arches would make an ideal Summer of Code 
project. Our experience in the U.K. is that heritage problems, and the 
associated software, are simply more interesting to programmers than yet 
another accountancy software package or similar (with all respect to 
accountants :-)).

One idea for the list:  At Strasbourg last Summer someone asked if Arches 
'works in 3D'. I don't know enough about the coding side to know if that is a 
big challenge or a simple one, but the idea that Arches should be capable of 
incorporating and working with 3D information (which I take to mean 3D 
landscape sources such as digital terrain models, and Lidar surveys, plus 3D 
building or site models and reconstructions) is an exciting one. Many of the 
presentations at Strasbourg related to 3D survey techniques, and how these are 
becoming routine in the sector. 3D is of course an idea that Google are 
committed to via Google Earth, and projects they have sponsored such as Google 
Model Your Town.

All good wishes

Ed
