Hello Robin, First of all welcome to the Arches community!
In regards to your first issue, I'd like to direct you to this forum thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/archesproject/resource$20descriptors%7Csort:date/archesproject/zrG_hBA17yE/AjKo8QKHAQAJ While this is referring to an implementation of Arches v4, the Resource Descriptor function in v5 will still help you in defining what nodes carry the display name and display descriptions for each of your resource models. In regards to modeling in general, I wanted to let you know that members of the Arches team and community are working on providing more documentation and tools to help Arches implementors, like yourself, create or leverage existing CIDOC CRM-compliant resource models to serve their individual use cases. We are hoping on making this available within the next couple months. In addition, Part 3 of the Intro the Arches Platform webinar series will have a basic overview of the modeling process as well as an introduction to the documentation and tools that I just mentioned. This webinar will take place at some point in the spring. In the meantime, the past webinars might interest you: https://www.archesproject.org/videos/ In regards to your issue regarding the basemap default zoom area, I personally don't have an answer, but hope that someone else will chime in in regards to that soon. Thanks!
