Development

  • Plan 7.7.0 release -> earliest on 15th of October
  • #1587 Link artifacts and human remains to places directly (takes longer) Stefan: does this interfere with the planned feature to add more E22 to an instance of E22 (ticket #1647)? Alex thinks it does not interfere but is the first step in two steps with the artifacts being composed of other artifacts (ticket #1647) as the first ticket is urgent and needed by several projects; this will include to re-style the user interface
  • #1400: Make specific types required at data entry (can we move it to next version?) -> it's fine for Stefan to move it to the next release (7.8.0)

New general presentation site

  • Andi was announced head of the frontend committee
  • Schedule meeting Alex, Christoph, Andi, Mokka, and possibly Bernhard wants to join, others are welcome to join spontaneously; date: 19th of October, 13.00
  • Keep OpenAtlasDiscovery or come up with a new name? -> we agreed on keeping the name
  • Which technologies
  • Keep API 0.2 until the new presentation site or drop it before and adapt existing general frontend? Stefan mentioned switching the API main format from Linked Places Format (LPF) to Linked Arts (LOUD), this should be considered when setting up the new frontend; Christoph offered to switch the current frontend to 0.3 API, so 0.2 can be removed from OpenAtlas. Bernhard mentioned providing LPF, LOUD as well as a simple GeoJSON via the API while Stefan mentioned that Linked Arts is much better suited for actor relations etc. while LPF is mainly suited for places; Problem brought up by Christoph: Linked Arts, even though very nice, does not have a stable version yet, as far as he knows
  • Conclusion: the existing frontends should be switched to API 0.3 (#1833), so the API version 0.2 can be dropped; but when creating a new frontend from scratch, it should be considered to switch from LPF to Linked Arts - Stefan and Bernhard will have a look at it together to solve existing problems, and it could be used for a new API version and the new frontends (for that it should be implemented as soon as possible and before work is put into developing the new frontend - work on it will start after the frontend meeting on the 19th of October)

Issues to discuss

  • Why do we have an option for persons that were moved (instead of participated)? Maybe remove it to avoid confusion? There was a misunderstanding; a person is moved by a moving; event even though it was their own decision to move (took the journey willingly); Stefan: but range of P25 is not group as the scope only is physical objects (in this case biological object) but groups are a legal body and can't be moved by a move event; adding another actor to the event is possible e.g. as initiator; Alex: but as groups can't be added via the actor selection in the event tab, maybe it would make sense to remove it; as it is important for bITEM, Georg Brusecker should be contacted on the matter and see what he thinks; no matter what, the way it was explained to cooperation partners so far was not correct (#1834)
  • #1750 Linking movements with line objects, e.g. roads
  • #1770 API: using linked.art see above
