PALP Workspace is a Flask web application that was created to help researchers for the PALP project connect different sources of data to each other and describe images. It links Pompei: pitture e mosaici, Pitture e pavimenti di Pompei, PompeiiinPictures, and an ArcGIS Map. The workspace is currently hosted at https://workspace.p-lod.umasscreate.net/.
Users start by entering location, and can then choose from the ARCs at that location. Each successive tab walks them through steps like validating OCR data, copying relevant descriptions, and verifying relevant pictures chosen in the Prequel. The Description tab is where that all comes together to save this linked data and use it to populate a Google Sheet with more detailed information.
