PROCEDURE

A) Archeological objects

I) Places

Proceed as follows if you want to add places such as

• City

• Non-Urban Settlement

• Urban Neighborhood

• Sacred/Religious Landscap

• Funerary Landscape

• Excavation sector

1. create a new “geographical place”

→ you can give the place several names (in several languages)

Open

Important: Select the type, such as city, non-urban settlement etc.

Open

2. Link places

If you want to indicate that a place was within another place (eg. the funerary landscape within the city of Antinoopolis)

1. Open the tab of the newly created place

   1. switch to edit mode (keyboard shortcut “tab E”)

2. select “has quality”

   1. add time if known

   2. select “is inside or relative to” to link this place to the place it is inside of.

II) Structures

Proceed as follows if you want to add structures such as

• Domestic buildings

• Government buildings

• Entertainment Facilities

• Monuments

• Baths

• etc

1. create a new “construction”

• add geo-coordinates if existing

• add the appropriate type

2. link structures to other structures or places

identical to “places”, link constructions to places they are in, either using the advanced form or later on opening the tab of the relevant construction.

→ select: “has quality” and define a new “relative location”

3. Production: inform about the usage of a structure

• select “is used by” to add the class “Use”. Inform about the:

  • time-span

  • the type of usage

    • → for this, create the types of usage as “propositional objects” (similar to a vocabulary)

  • if wished: generically: the intentional collective (such as “residents of Antinoopolis) or more specific: person/group using it

4. inform about the creation of a structure

• select “was produced by” to create a production

Now, there are several options, how you can add more information:

4.a) Time Span

• edit the time span to add a date (or time span)

4.b) Building Techniques

If you want to inform about used building techniques, such as “English Bond, Random coursed” etc., then add a “General Technique”

4.c) Decorative elements

If you want to inform about used decorative elements, such as “paintings, opus sectile or corinthian capitals” etc., then select “used specific obejct“ to add a “Physical Set”.

When adding a physical set, you have to:

• “close the naming box” with the x. You don’t need it.

• add at least a dot (.) in the defintion box (or develop a description if you wish)

• click on advanced form

• then click on “was or is composed of object of type” and select the Physical Human Made Object type corresponding to your needs (e.g. Opus Sectile, Corinthian columns)

  • → you can select a pre-defined Physical Human Made Object type (such as Opus Sectile) or define a new one.

• click on “has quantifiable quality” to inform about the number of things that form this set. (e.g. 20 units of columns)

  • close the box “type” if not needed by clicking on the x

4.d) Inform about the materials used for a construction

If you want to inform about used materials, such as “stone, mud bricks” etc., then select “used specific obejct“ to add a “Amount of Matter”.

When adding an amount of matter, you have to:

• “close the naming box” with the x. You don’t need it.

• add at least a dot (.) in the defintion box (or develop a description if you wish)

• click on advanced form to have all fields at hand

• then fill in the box “consists of” to inform the material, such as “gold” or “marble”

• fill in the box “Quantifiable Quality” to inform the quantities (e.g. 5 tons)

4.e) Inform about a specific element used in a construction

If you want to inform about a specific and clearly identfiable element used in a construction, such as for example the identified inscription on the front door of the Eastern Gate Churche”, then select “used specific obejct“ to add a “Physical Man Made Thing” (not to be mixed-up with pyhsical man-made thing type).

• add the corresponding name (e.g. “inscription on the front door of the Eastern Gate Churche in Antinoopolis”

• add a definition/description

• choose a type if wished

4.f) People/Groups involved in creation/production

If you want to inform about people and groups involved in the construction of a structure, then select “has participation” to add a participation.

• add a time-span if known

• select “is participation of” to inform about the person or group that participated. (only 1 can be selected per participation event)

• select “is participation in the quality of” to say in which function a person or group participated. e.g. as bricklayer, accountant, supervisor, donor, comossioner etc.

• select “is participation on behalf of” to express that a person or group was mandated by another person/ group to participate, e.g an envoy that participated on behalf of the king.

5. inform abou the renovation/reparation of a structure

• select “was modified by” to create a modification

• everything else is identical to the “prduction event” described above

III) Objects

Proceed as follows if you want to add objects such as

• coins

• bowls

• etc.

Create a new “Physical Human-Made Thing”

• name it

• add its materiality as “consists of”

• link ot to a structure or place using “has quality”

The result might look like this:

B) Source objects

1.    Produce «source object» if necessary

1. Book: use «serially produced object»

   1. Exemple: Eigenmann, Philipp, Migration macht Schule. Bildungs- und Berufsqualifikation von und für Italienerinnen und Italiener in Zürich, 1960-1990, Zurich, 2017

2. Archival source: use “unique source object”

   1. Exemple: AAV Prefettura Casa Pont Udienze b38 1939

3. Websource

   1. Example: Webpage Wikipedia Adolf Betram

      
      
      

C) Persons and their life

2.    Produce person entity

• create new person

3.    Link «person» to source object

• choose: «topic of» or “mentioned in”

5.    Add additional personal information like gender or birth

• open entity card of person

• activate “show all fields” of “specific fields”

• add “has gender” or “was born”

6.    Add title or a generic function

• add all general functions/qualities as “social quality”

  • for example “Philosopher” or “Geometer”

• add for each person a “social quality of an actor (temporal)”

• chose the type

• see end-result below:

7.    Add specific functions as “social roles”

• add all functions as “social roles”

  • for example: “Bishop of Alexandria”

• add for each person a “social actor embodiment” (temporal)

  • this characteristic indicates from when to when a person carried out this role

• choose the type and time span of this function:

• final result might look like this:
