Hi Maarten - thanks for your email. Attached is the
sample extract of the database. I just migrated the
sites to our server on Friday and am busy linking up the
declaration history to the sites. You can ignore the
Primary key column - between you and I we'll simply
assign a new autoincrement ID field numbered 1-3580 so
that it's easy later on to match our dbase to the wiki
photos.
I'll send you the MOU as soon as Herma is done checking
it - but she mentioned that I should not expect it this
week - but at least you can carry on with the sample as
the structure is half the job..
All the best,
Nic

Hey Nicholas,
I hope everything goes well. I'm back on holiday and
focussing again on the
competition :-)
>From the earlier competition in Europe I know we
will run into some
problems on the monument database. We have to
process it and turn it into a
data structure that we can use on Wikipedia, on
Commons and on our own
website. This takes quite a lot of work.
Can you send us a "sample" of the monument database?
Let's say of about 200
monuments in a certain region. We will use this
sample data to learn what
kind of processing we have to do on the whole data
set. This will speed up
the process if we would get the full database.
Off course, this is a sample file: we will only use
it to test the
processing and will remove all the information
afterwards.
Groete,
Maarten Deneckere
