Tutorial. Creating ArcheoGRID object

The deposit of the file has been made on ArcheoGRID.

I need:

  1. to create the objet (required)
  2. to describe the object (required)
  3. to illustrate the object (optional)
  4. to link all the related resources (optional)

Note

Sustainable Lalibela Project

  • Group 3. Mikiyas (speaker), Fiseha, Zelalem, Mengistie e DRAFT. To be completed with screenshots.

1. Create the objet

  • Open ArcheoGRID
  • Open the Lalibela Eglises rupestres project
  • Go to the folder LALIBELA_eglises_rupestres/{object-type}, e.g. LALIBELA_eglises_rupestres/Manuscripts/ if you want to create a manuscript.
  • Right click > Create object in this folder "folder_name"
  • Name the object
    The name of the object MUST be the name of the manuscript. For instance, for the manuscript which has the call number SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035, the name of the object will be SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035.
  • Congratulation! The object has been created.

Info

For resources (e.g. images of a manuscript) the Project folder tree must be like:

LALIBELA_eglises_rupestres/ 
    Resources/
        Manuscripts/
            SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035/
                SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035_0001.tif
                SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035_0002.tif
                SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035_0003.tif
                …
            SL_MS_StLalibela_BGA_002/
                SL_MS_StLalibela_BGA_002_0001.jpg
                SL_MS_StLalibela_BGA_002_0002.jpg
                SL_MS_StLalibela_BGA_002_0003.jpg
                …
        Manbara_Tabots/
        Crosses/
        …

For objects (e.g. a manuscript) the Project folder tree must be like:

LALIBELA_eglises_rupestres/ 
    Crosses/
    Icons/
    Manbara_Tabots/
    Manuscripts/
        SL_MS_StLalibela_LCM_035
        SL_MS_StLalibela_BGA_002
        …

2. Describe the object (required)

  1. Go to the object
  2. Click on the icon on the upper right part of the object card
  3. Click on the Add metadata button
  4. Select in the drop down menu the right model (eg. Manuscript for manuscripts)
  5. Fill all the metadata form, following the Guidelines.
  6. Click on the Save button.

Tip

If the “save” button doesn't work, it's probably because one of the values entered is not compliant with the model.

3. Illustrate your object (optional)

I want to illustrate my object with one of its image.

  1. Go to My selection, and click on the Delete selection button.
  2. Go to the folder containing the images of the object.
  3. Select only one image by clicking on the upper part of the image preview – it should be highlighted in blue.
  4. Save selection
  5. Go to Show the Selection and select the name of the object in the list and click on the Illustrate button.

I want to link all resources to their object (e.g. link all images of a manuscript to its record).

  1. Go to My selection, and click on the Delete selection button.
  2. Select all the resources related to the object, e.g. all the images of a manuscript
  3. Go to My selection and click oon the Save selection button.
  4. Go to Show the Selection and select the name of object in the list and click on the Link button.

Done!
