It has been a little quiet around here for a while, but that is down to various factors! I’ve been catching up on some leave time – Skiing in France and some time in the Souks of Marrakech. However, things are changing within the database of the Scheme. Over the next few weeks, certain changes are underway; these include:
- Larger thumbnails on the finds page
- Removal of border from around image thumbnails on the image lister
- Introduction of newer counties – Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Rutland etc (we’ve finally caught up!)
- Introduction of regional attribution – you can now do a search for East Anglia or Wales. Quite useful?
- Javascript tying of region: county: district: parish
To come:
- User interface enhancements
- Numismatic interface overhaul
- GIS overhaul
- And a few more things that I’d rather wait and see if they work.
On other fronts, the Conference is now booked out and development of other data sets and resources are well underway. You may see a preview of these at the Conference. Should be a good couple of days. Off to Philadelphia straight afterwards and the World Cup Cricket after that. We’re also seeing how we can contribute to the Pleiades project at UNC and the various numismatic projects we are signed up to. There’s also a PhD in partnership with UCL and the AHRC that will be announced shortly. Go for it!
