Thanks for that alternative look... it is a critisism levelled at the PAS (from many angles) that the ifo is not easy to access...
Though please read this :
http://www.finds.org.uk/wordpress/index.php/441
which asks for comemnt on a revamp....
So what features do you want to see? Hereâs a few ideas that Iâve already implemented at the Celtic Coin Index:
More straight forward URL structures- http://www.finds.org.uk/database
More portable data formats included (microformats for example)
View a random record option
More straight forward interfaces - SEARCH!!!!
Download your search results into KML, CSV, JSON, RSS, geoRSS, etc
Google maps interface with integrated data sources from Pleiades etc
View all artefacts discovered by this finder
Switch between expanded details and contracted details for records easily
Iâve written a document of over 100 pages for the rebuild specification, which is available on request.
So they are asking, and if people don't tell... then...... only ourselves to blame.
I am interested in how the PAS data could be used in a commercial context, becasue we must not forget the HER transfer of data... after the work on Water Newton... I realised that the best use of the data was as an event... rather than hundreds of dots on the map... ie... there has been an 'event' over this area. jsut like an archaeolgoical survey. I will be uploading the report (all 150 pages) to OASIS, like a good boy.
What and how would you use the data?
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."
