Project site¶

• Rename/restructure menu items on the project page -> Nina and Katharina will look into it
  • Especially Cooperation which can be misleading, suggestions from Nina: cooperate, collaborate, let's collaborate, work with us
  • Links in the footer might get overlooked easily (e.g. publication). Maybe it's time for adding sub menu items to the main menu?

• New publication site (#2419)
  • How to deal with publications without DOI -> We decided to only provide DOIs (if available) and not providing files to prevent running into copyright issues or similar
    • Link to them (con: keep links up to date)
    • Upload them (con: making sure the license allows for upload on a public page)
    • What to do with articles with restrictive licenses

Backend¶

• #1473: Bone Inventory
  • Vocabulary: find an established one or publish our own, see categories -> Stefan suggest to use Wikidata and maybe reference to THANADOS types
  • Connection to person (also e.g. sex estimation)? FemCare doesn't seem to need it but e.g. Public History would. -> We will look into it in more depth when needed
  • How to proceed with FemCare? -> Alex and Nina will contact them to schedule data entry meetings
• #2079: Text annotation -> Bernhard, Katharina and Olivia will look into providing it for presentation sites at the API meeting
• #2300: Load form tables dynamically -> Bernhard and Katharina will look into it
• Question from Nicholas about owner of artifact: it is broadly used for owner and last location but what if they differ? -> Could be solved via events, e.g move

Presentation sites¶

• Stefan suggested to make shortcuts of CIDOC relations, because users a not proficient in reading CIDOC. We will work on that at the API Meeting. Christoph provided us with an example: https://docs.swissartresearch.net/et/persons/
• Network with more controls, e.g. pause, download, ...
  • We should group events
  • Remove appellation
  • Stefan suggested to look at THANADOS network graphics for inspiration
• Improved search (#2427) was demonstrated
