[Patina] Re: updated wire-frames

[Earl G.P.]

Hi Enrico,

I know you have been really pushed so many thanks - and apologies that I have missed the recent meetings.

Your description really helps - this was what I had at the back of my mind from our discussion at the Avenue Campus. So, we discover from this the interesting aspects of process and then in the next stage identify potential means to augment and complement that process.

All the best and have a great Easter. I am off to Somerset tomorrow on the busiest travel day of the year, on the busiest holiday route. Wish me luck!

Have looked at it in advance of the PI meeting today. Looks really interesting.
Thanks! :-)
Credit goes to the entire team, it was really a collective effort.



Would it be possible for you to provide some literature pointers as Emma did in her intervention PDF, so I can more rapidly pick up the wider HCI context?

Unfortunately I do not have time (...) now to produce a related work survey. We had a look at related work, but not a chance for a write-up, we'll have to do that over the summer (when my teaching ends).



To me it seems really useful but as I have been out of the loop these past weeks I feel a little lost in terms of its specific benefits compared to the existing practices and systems e.g. ARK and IADB. This is my fault for not participating enough but I would really appreciate a kind of "hit list" in terms of what HCI and archaeology innovations you see here.
Sorry, the material on the wiki for this version is not anymore "self-standing" it was more of a prop for the meetings we had. I know that's not ideal, but as I wrote, time has been a really scarce resource.

In summary, what we are building is really a "probe" -- i.e. something for which the primary goal is to allow us to collect data. The emphasis here is on the capture of information, especially annotations (the UI now includes also finds "data" (stuff usually on recording sheets), beyond annotations, but that's only because we want to provide an integrated solution, so that people do not end up using 2 applications, one for collecting data and one for collecting annotations).

In (very) short terms: what we are trying to see is whether such probe will allow us to
1. collect enough meta-data to be able to re-construct "provenance" (that's mostly the "links" between notes) and possibly other forms of linked-data (could we infer ontologies from the notes?)
2. collect enough data to support other interventions, like the "site-feed" or the "boxed awareness" concepts

..at least in this first version/deployment.

In other Archaeology DBs we did not see such focus on harvesting structure in a grass-roots fashion, nor much emphasis on annotations (vs. data).

I hope this gives an idea.

All the best,
Enrico

Hello everyone.



I just posted the updated wireframes for intervnetion 3 on the wiki:

http://wiki.patina.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php/DeliverableIntervention3v3



The textual explanations are not very detailed, but by now most of you walked through them with me.



As usual, comments and feedback are welcome.



Luc & Mike, would you have time tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon to briefly meet to go through them and make sure there isn't anything missing? Any time after 2pm would work for me.



Thanks,

Enrico
