[open-archaeology] Method Store

Mon Sep 19 08:04:36 UTC 2011

Dear All, 

After much prevaricating David Stott and myself have started to get some content onto the Open Method Store. You can find it here: http://methods.okfn.org/wiki/Main_Page. I have initially populated it with four python scripts to undertake different vegetation analyses from Remote Sensing data (an ecological domain). Although these do have relevance for archaeology. 

I haven't widely publicised this as I thought it probably best that we work through niggles etc. here before going more mainstream. Although, that said I will be talking about this at AARG next week (Cause and Effect ;-)

There are a number of things that need sorting:
References
Sem Web markup
Tagging and automated linking of content
Etc.

Anyway that's all secondary to getting content. 

There's a "things we need to do/develop" list on this page. http://methods.okfn.org/wiki/Things_we_need_to_develop If you could post any comments etc. on here then that would be great. 

Many thanks one-and-all for supporting this.

Best wishes,

Ant
