A collection of ideas that haven't made it into an own ticket yet.

Website¶

• Tags for projects like at craws.net (e.g. history, archaeology and prosopography, concluded, available open data ...)

API¶

• 2023: SPARQL endpoint, e.g. with karma (suggestion from Christoph) https://github.com/usc-isi-i2/Web-Karma
• 2023: Version 1

Frontend¶

Entity view¶

• 2021: don't show link buttons in tabs if there are no entities to link
• 2020: Show membership at appears first if available

Forms¶

• 2023: When using dynamic entity add, custom required types are ignored (e.g. case study at place or type). Could be problematic but not sure if it is worth the effort to add these into popup forms. Also we can't offer there e.g. an add type too.
• 2023: Filter functions in form fields ignore table name because it's present in a JavaScript call in table cells. Would be nice to fix but not sure how complicated this is.
• 2022: Member/membership: add + buttons for person/group in tab. But difficult how to differ from relation link because they too have an actor entity as origin
• 2022: Better validation for reference systems: names have to be unique and when adding one with an existing name a transaction error occurs which works but is ugly but when updating one to an existing name strange things happen.
• 2021: Update links instead recreate, test first in Journal application

Maps¶

• 2020: Add an additional area where existing geometries are shown (don't use label "features")
• 2020: Search function for existing entities on map

Manual¶

• 2020: Add database description from MEDCON/ARCHE

Settings¶

• 2020: Add a default value to settings and show if they are changed in views

External References (GeoNames, Wikidata)¶

• 2020: Show additional information e.g. if Wikidata id is provided also show (their) GeoNames id, Pelagios, ...
• 2020: Advanced options for GeoNames search (e.g. select categories, fuzzy or not, ..)

Integrity checks¶

• Events: check dates for super and proceeding events
• Events: check links between super and proceeding events, e.g. one event can't have the same other event as super and proceeding

Import¶

• 2020: Implement B.C. dates
• 2020: Warn if inconsistent dates (e.g. begin for end)
• 2020: Warn if missing dates (e.g. begin_to without begin_from)

Time intensive and requires substantial financing¶

Functionality

• 2023: Multi language support for data (#1925, on roadmap)
• 2023: Factoids (linking data details to sources, make multiple and even conflicting data details possible)
• 2023: Track data changes (e.g. description diffs)

System

• 2020: Multi instance capability #924
• 2020: Debian package
