Hi Sindhu,

I can give you a bit more detail on the Spatio-Temporal relationships idea for 
Arches.

There are really two ways to think about spatial and temporal data in Arches.  
One way is to consider how time affects the interpretation of cultural 
heritage.  For example, periods (like the neolithic) are expressed as "years 
before present".  But the neolithic period has different "time before present" 
values depending on where you are (e.g.: England vs. Greece vs. Australia).  So 
there is a spatial component to the concept of periods.  And this relationship 
could be incorporated into Arches graphs and thesauri.

A second way to think about spatio-temporal relationships is to consider how 
they could be used to enhance filtering an Arches database for records.  
Perhaps there is a way to better query an Arches database (and improve the 
search UI) by implementing better temporal filtering of resources.  

The first (graph-based) way is pretty theoretical, and would be best suited for 
some one interested in working closely with the CIDOC CRM and resource graphs.  
The second idea is much more practical, as it would focus on enhancing how 
users query Arches to find specific records.

Hope this provides some guidance for you and your proposal.

Cheers,

Dennis Wuthrich
