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

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¶

• 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¶

• 2020: Debian package
• 2020: Annotate text
• 2020: Multi instance capability #924
• 2020: Climate data functions
