Great to hear from you Peter and welcome to the Arches Project Forum! You’ll find here a happy mix of heritage folk (such as myself – ‘programming’ for me began and ended with BASIC in the 1980’s…) and IT specialists from around the planet. There’s bound to be someone out there who can assist with your question, or, if not help get something fixed.
The power station you can see sounds great – English Heritage, has put a lot of energy (no pun intended) into historic infrastructure projects (see for example http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/research-news-17-18/ and http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/conservation-bulletin-65/ ) and it’s a global area of interest, so maybe that electric power generation cross-search isn’t so far off.

I have been working with heritage inventories for the better part of three decades, both in the US and at the World Heritage Centre (UNESCO). Watching heritage inventories expand (and sometimes being part of that expansion) has been exciting, especially in the last two decades, as more organizations make their materials available online. In Massachusetts, we are just now completing the last few weeks of a six-year project to put the statewide historic resource inventory on line (http://mhc-macris.net/). Nonetheless, we as discipline don't seem much closer to making these systems compatible. I hope that Arches (as well as the foundation work of the Council of Europe, the Getty, and other organizations) will allow heritage organizations to move closer toward that holy grail "interoperability"! My programming skills are minimal, and I am sure in other posts, I will be asking for help as I move through the installation Arches (and Python, Java et al.)! >From my window, I see the iconic stacks of the South Boston Power Station, >once the Edison Electric Illuminating Company's landmark 1902 generating >station.
