<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 4125888, member: 82322&quot;]I am not a Roman guy, nor an OCRE fan.&nbsp; First let me try to do what you did in your Coryssa tutorial, find As of Nero.</p><p><br /></p><p>I click Denomination, As, +, Authority, Nero, Search</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that when I clicked to bring up the list of Authorities, it was filtered to only include those authorities that issued the As.</p><p><br /></p><p>OCRE returns 135 RIC records numbers that match.</p><p><br /></p><p>I click on RIC 533 which takes me to six records under <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).ner.533" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).ner.533" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).ner.533</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I click on the first record, which takes me to <a href="http://numismatics.org/collection/1944.100.39795" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/collection/1944.100.39795" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/collection/1944.100.39795</a> .&nbsp; This coin has three references cited: RIC 533, BMC 370, and WNC 591.&nbsp; 1944.100.39795 is the ANS ID for the exact coin.&nbsp; Their IDs have a format: Year donated, &quot;.&quot;, donation ID (100; which is Newell&#039;s bequest), &quot;.&quot;, sequence number in that donation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Internally, there shouldn&#039;t be a table with REF1, REF2, REF3 fields, or with RIC, BMC, WNC fields.&nbsp; The data should be relational.&nbsp; If you drink the &quot;semantic web&quot; Kool-aid there will be a relationship, Has-RIC-catalog(1944.100.39795, ric.1(2).ner.533).&nbsp; You could imagine a relatioship Has-ERIC2-catalog(1944.100.39795, ...).&nbsp; Just tell the front end that the initial query is for ERIC2 IDs and nothing else needs to be recoded.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Coryssa, if I understand, the data is broken down by ruler and denomination for Roman Imperial.&nbsp; The ANS&#039; tools don&#039;t seem oriented towards a tree of results with tools to drill into it.&nbsp; You can think of the results, in this case RIC numbers, being the leaves of a tree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your tools seem oriented towards helping the user navigate through the tree, down to the rulers, down to their denominations.&nbsp; This is helpful.&nbsp; The problem is that different users have different opinions for the structure of the tree.&nbsp; Should the top level results be grouped by emperor, or by issuing city?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
