Archeos-dev Digest, Vol 16, Issue 4

Sun Feb 13 19:56:35 CET 2011

Hi Luca,

oh, we all have just 24h to spent, and someone like me needs to waist a
couple of hours for sleeping ....

I know, willing to give a standart to a data collecting system like a
database, and this on an international level is .. i hate to say it .. quiet
impossible.
Looking here at Germany, you have 16 regional services, but a lot more
trials to catalogize data. Many of the systems i worked with, started at the
level of a simple excavation database, and became the long the time a
complex system willing to store data for the whole region.  Most of these
projects failed at the one or the other end.

What I am looking for, is a database,
- which is not closed source ( I don't deny the quality of Access, but not
everyone will or can afford the costs)
- where the data can be stored in an open format (readable by other programs
"xml ?")
- and for the moment i only want to store excavation data as simple as:
description of the structure, and the gestion of the dokumentation data
(foto-nr etc.), as simple as that (o.k. i am just kidding, it's a little bit
more complicated).

For myself I was trying to write a system web-based on php, mysql: but i
have to say, i failed, i don't have the time, and not the capacity to do
this.

I think the idea in first collecting data sheets "around the world" and
finding the commons, is a good start. Because at the end we all do the same
thing, we are just following different scolars.
If you know someone who would be capable to do this work, it would be great,
and i am shure their will be a lot of people, very greatful .
I can sent you a couple of description sheets of different regional
services; will to have them translated before.
Eventually if you are interested i can sent you the table structure of one
or two db, as a kind of modell, if you wish.
Perhaps this will take a while, evtl. I find a minute in between.

Greetings

Marcus
