Wonderful to get such a detailed response from you, thanks Vincent. 

I've actually realised that my colleague Roshan and you were in touch about 
this a few years ago - here's 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!starred/archesproject/v02grD04ofc>the 
link to the conversation. I've now joined the team at the Zamani Project 
<http://www.zamaniproject.org> and really want to get us going with Arches. 
I recently attended the Digital Humanities conference in the Netherlands, 
and it seems like Arches is really gaining ground. 

I've been educating myself with the documentation and am very inspired by 
your implementation with Global Digital Heritage! 

I have a few questions that I hope you can help with: 

   - Would you advise that I become very familiar with the CDOC CRM 
   documentation before I get started? 
   - Because we are based at a university, am I correct that it would make 
   more sense to install Arches on a server? 
   - Our database is in the process of being migrated to the university's 
   repository, and I want to make any data of ours on Arches link back to 
   those DOIs, so that our website+Arches and our data in the university's 
   repository all speak to each other. Does that make sense? 
   - We want to make our raw data as well as our visualisations (3D models 
   etc) available through Arches. We would need some kind of access control, 
   so that viewing models is open to all guests, but access to our raw data 
   would need registration. 
   - Your description of how you envision our data (from your conversation 
   with Roshan in 2017) is really useful. Would you change anything about it 
   with regard to Zamani’s specific data and updates to Arches? I had 
   something like this in mind, but am very open to any suggestions and 
   insight:

*Activity Resource* 
Describes the project in general. 
*i.e. Spatial documentation of temples and pagodas in Bagan, Myanmar*
*Documentation/Digitization Event* 
More detailed, short-term documentation of the 'how' and 'when' of the 
sessions. There could be several events here for the same activity 
resource. Can be as descriptive as needed about equipment, conditions and 
settings.  
*i.e. 20-30 January 2016 - terrestrial laser scans and drone footage of 
Temple 1 and Pagoda 2; F+H scanner model XXX with settings XXX. Team 
members A, B, and C were present. *
*1-5 June 2019 - more documentation events*.    
*Resource* 
Documents heritage sites, structures, buildings, etc. There could be many 
resources here.
*i.e. Temple 1; Temple 2; Temple 99; Pagoda 1; Pagoda 2; Pagoda 99 etc.   *
*File set/Raw data* 
Datasets from acquired documentation. This lives in the university’s 
repository, and can be accessed with a DOI.  
*i.e. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0028240*
*File (set)* 
The actual 3D model gets uploaded to Arches.

Best, 
Sarah
