Meanwhile, when you mention uploading data, what kind of data do your refer 
to, please? 

I am wondering to incorporate the social media data of users to Arches. I 
am currently working on representing and analyzing the location-based 
social media data in GIS. I think the data which users generated in 
different social media, e.g., Facebook, can be good sources, because:

   - Facebook has huge users
   - People provide extensive information on Facebook, including semantic 
   comments, spatial locations and photos
   - Some data has a standard format to export/ import, e.g., open graph
   
It is also possible to connect the Facebook account for Arches. I have 
established a website to extract the locations of posts for Facebook users: 
http://geosocialevents.appspot.com/, and wish this can be helpful to enrich 
the database and attract more users for Arches.
