Approaching Byzantium meeting 2024-03-13¶

Updated information in the course of the meeting is in color. Every participant is welcome to add and adapt.

Participants¶

• OpenAtlas: Alexander Watzinger
• Approaching Byzantium: Nicholas Melvani

Topics¶

There are some new questions by Nicholas about data entry.

Entering data for inscriptions¶

• In a very general way e.g. this is the inscription of a grave stone, statue or similar. Some details can be provided in the description e.g. the description is located at the bottom of a statue
• If more detailed information is needed for e.g. later analysis, it could be done with sub artifacts, e.g. creating as sub for a grave called metal plaque and add information like material composition or similar

Entering data for manuscripts which copy other manuscripts¶

• %Nicholas presented an example involving an artifact with an inscription and a painting (file) of the artifact also containing the (interpreted) source text.
• %Difficulty would be to track all related information in a structured way and also keep the relation between text on the artifact and text on the image. Nicholas kindly offered to create an issue for later discussion -> #2230

Linking artifacts with other artifacts¶

• Because of absences we couldn't discuss this feature (#2127) in the last meeting but it is already on the agenda of the next developer meeting in one week.

How to proceed with the presentation website.¶

• Report of problems with the display of data can be done similar to the OpenAtlas project with creating issues at the OpenAtlas Discovery project
• In general we will continue taking it step by step, meaning showing progress of our frontend team and receiving feedback of Nicholas regulary.
• We will schedule the next about the Approaching Byzantium presentation site next week, aiming for begin of April.
