Data Model
This page describes how we model data from each form from the MPP project. Each form will be treated in a subsection. Loci forms will be treated together.
Loci Forms
Several pieces of each loci form are identical across the three types.
Earth Loci (Color: yellow - most common)
Architectural Loci (Color: pink)
Installation Loci (Color: purple)
Burials (Color: Brown) are not strictly a loci since they do not get a locus number, but are attached to an earth locus. THEREFORE, burial forms are child entities of an earth locus.
