Thanks Adam, This is another interesting example.
I love the location navigation that seems to be a very strong feature of Arches. This would be a major asset for the project I’m working on. However, there are a number of other features we would need, and metadata cross-linking is very important for us. It would be a major flaw for a user to have to do a new search each time they wanted to see related works by building type, date, client etc. rather than just clicking on metadata entries to trigger a new targeted search. Another feature which may not be included in the Arches platform is the ability to add links on object records to entries in a bibliography, so that when a work is mentioned in a publication of journal, a link can be added to a separate bibliography entry.
