[Koha] Now: Cemetery - Was: Recent Comments page

[glaws]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It wouldn't be difficult at all to
put this on Mysql (or postgresql or Firebird) and whip up a php
interface to it. Easy as pie. Wonder if there's an ISO standard for
cemetery data fields or a  MARC record equivalent? Surely the Europeans
(English, French and Germans), with their long history of record-keeping
of cemeteries, have come up with some schema.

We have all these different applications for databasing things. We have
Koha/EG for books and DSpace for digitized works and Gramps for
geneology and something for cemeteries, and they all track info that is
roughly analogous. We need a grand unifying theory for all this
stuff-like UNIMARC2013.

I have this general understanding that Evergreen likes to put the
interface/app on one machine and the database on another. I suspect that
would be a good design--load Koha/EG and DSpace and Gramps and whatever
interface on a single machine, and the database(s) on another?

Here's a sample pull I was looking at: http://public.stdc.govt.nz/cemeteries/ Record Number : 4425 Name : Estate of Charlotte Ann Smith Section : Eltham General Anglican New Plot ID : 105 Block : 10 Row : Old Plot No : 16 Interment Status : Occupied Plot Notes : X Coord : Y Coord: Funeral Co-ordinator : Date Of Death : 12/12/1964 Date Of Interment : 14/12/1964 Date Of Birth : Type Of Interment : Burial Depth Of Plot : Double Deceased Age - Years : 0 - Months : 0 - Weeks : - Days : - Hours : Occupation : Place Of Death : Marital Status : Gender : Denomination : Anglican Nationality : Birth Place : Headstone Photo : Officiating : Obviously this isn't databased in Koha, so apparently you have this in a custom (Microsoft?) database? Anyone: I rather wonder if DSpace would be a good DB for this type of info? ----------------------------- Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.
