RaSColls – Arches Application for Heritage Science Reference and Sample Collections (Conceptual Modelling & Semantic Data Model Support)

Project:

RaSColls is an Arches-based platform developed with the Getty Conservation Institute to manage and share data about heritage science reference and sample collections. The application allows users to:

  • Search and discover collection objects through text-based or map-based queries.

  • Generate customized modular reports from disparate sources.

  • Track acquisition events, analyses, and related metadata.

  • Standardize data across collections to improve stewardship and sharing.

  • Assign friendly identifiers while maintaining compatibility with UUIDs.

TAKIN’s Role:

Takin.solutions supported the project by providing conceptual modelling and semantic data model documentation, ensuring that the Arches implementation accurately reflected the structure and relationships of the collections’ data.
