Dear all,

My name is Robin Rönnlund and I'm an archaeologist working for the Swedish 
Archaeological Institute in Athens, Greece. Currently, I'm employed in an 
ambitious project aiming at digitising (and publish online) archaeological 
artifacts from Swedish excavations in Greece, Italy and Turkey, and we (the 
project team) have decided to use Arches for this purpose. So far, I have 
tried to get into CIDOC-CRM (+ CRMarchaeo) to see how we should map the 
already extant databases, but now I have also started to delve into Arches 
itself.

Having never worked with this system before, I am somewhat struggling with 
the implementation. Not to list all of them at once, I will start with some 
of the more pressing ones, and if someone has an idea how to solve them, 
I'd be more than grateful!

First, as there are no "preset" resource models even close to what we need 
for the project, I have tried to make my own with various levels of 
success. The biggest problem right now is that whatever I do, all added 
resources (including ones made with the Lincoln "preset" resource models) 
are listed as "(undefined)". Only in one case, a dummy resource model 
without any complex structure, does the string value of *E19 + P45 + E57* 
turn up as the "definition" of a resource entry. When I try to add this to 
another resource model, it doesn't work, for some reason. As all generated 
resources are listed as "(undefined)", I cannot tell which resource is what 
and everything looks incomprehensible. What governs the "definition" of a 
resource, and why isn't it working in the same way in two parallel cases?

Second, I have tried to modify the basemap default zoom area, which was by 
default set to Lincoln. Modifying this makes that my browser (Firefox, 
Chrome) instantly crashes as soon as I go to the search page. I had to 
remove the project extent to get it working again, which is not ideal as 
now I always have to start in the Atlantic ocean. What to do with this?

I hope someone can help me with this!

All my very best,

Robin
