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 discuss
* Is stratigraphic really a good "starting point"? What about skeletons found outside of graves?
* Structure: it would be good, besides connecting entities to category types, to also connect them between with P46 (composed of)
** What to do with in between categories? Is it ok to add all as entities, e.g. with "Inventory Teeth -> permanent -> Maxilla -> I1" or "Inventory Postcranium -> Postcranial skeleton -> Hand -> Carpals -> Scaphoid right"
** If not, how we deal with that?
h3. To do
* Design views for entering and viewing
* 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?
