New projects
Steps to enter data for a new project: Create a project (table: Project)
- Project.code is important: it is used as URL part and within the Django application as internal project identifier it should never be changed
- eventually create or associate scopes, like “female”, “male” (table: OtherScope, Project_AvailableScope)
Eventually create the taxa (table: TaxonProxy)
- associate taxa to the project (tables: TaxonSet, TaxonSet_Taxon)
- associate images of taxa (tables: Resource, ResourceVariant, BaseEntity.specific_rights_text should contain the corresponding picture’s author name like: “© Author Name”). A set of maximum of 16 thumbs will be displayed
- resource variants as ReourceVariant_Enum.code "tiny_sample" (=thumb 75×75px) and "best_quality" (max 500×500px displayed) should have corresponding urls in ResourceVariant.url
- eventually associate geographic area (table: GeographicAreaProxy, GeographicArea_Taxon)
Create character and character states (table Descriptor, CategoricalState), character tree (tables: DescriptorTree, DescriptorTreeNode)
- associate images to characters or character states (tables: Resource, ResourceVariant, BaseEntity.specific_rights_text should contain the corresponding picture’s author name like: “© Author Name”), size of images with maximal height 40px
Finally make a project publicly available: set the Project‘s tag (table: Tag)
- tag "Artenquiz" means it is a quiz
- tag "Public" means it will be publically available
- tag "Identification" make the project availabel for identification (URL: …/mobile_bestimmung/)
