Thank you Dennis, These are very interesting examples.
Would it be fair to say that Arches uses maps, or geolocation, as its primary form of navigation? Or is this just the way these three examples have been structured? I do find the location based navigation very nice to use, but it is equally important for us for users to be able to browse by building type, date or place name. One final question for the time being (I’m sure we’ll cover these questions and others tomorrow) - can the various metadata terms shown for each object record be links, so that for instance clicking on 'date: 1905' would take the viewer to all works built that year?
