OpenAtlas

h1. Bone inventory concept

Initial meeting: 2024-12-09

Participants: Alex, Bernhard, Nina

Current approach would be to

* Add a new OpenAtlas class *bone* (CIDOC class E20 - human remains)

* Add a system type *Bone inventory* with defined [[bone_inventory|categories]]

* Add a system (value) type *Bone fragments* which will be needed in some cases, e.g. Rib 3-10 L/R

* Add a system type *Bone preservation* with options:

** "empty" - meaning the bone isn't available

** undefined

** less than 25 % preserved

** 25-75 % preserved

** 75-99 % preserved

** 100% preserved

h3. To do

* Build prototype

* Test with transformed THANADOS dataset

h3. Create new entries

* Data can be entered in a "guided" way starting with a button at the tool view of stratigraphic units

* Most likely we split the [[bone_inventory|categories]] into (not too big) groups for easier data entry

* Default of *Bone preservation* will be empty. If left empty, no entities for these will created

* Where needed the *Bone fragments* will be provided and entering a positive integer is required

* If a sub category is chosen, the main category must be entered too

h3. Adding information

Once created it will be possible to add information in the detail view:

** Additional types (which can be added via the type hierarchy interface), e.g. diseases, dimensions, ...

** A description can be added (like with all other entities)

h3. Analysis

* A percentage sum (average of the main categories percentages) will be shown e.g. at the stratigraphic tool view.

** Are different parts weighted differently?
