COHG Stuff - updated 10/28/98!
These materials are provided by the Central Oregon Heritage
Group. The COHG database contains a skeletal version of the latest COHG
MS-ACCESS database (Access 97, I think). All of the site locations have
been anonymized. I have included Alissa's note to me:
Eric, I have attached the user’s guide and the COHG
database with some sample data in it. There is no data in some of the new
fields we added to the database. We need to add more validation rules decide
on forced entry, complete reports and canned queries. The database has
been more geared to prehistoric data and we are working on developing a
better historic component. The database fits on desktop area of 800 x 600
pixels or larger, it looks pretty bad on a desktop area 640 x 480. I will
making a set of forms that fit a 640 x 480 desktop for an old PC here that
will be needed for data entry. So, if you want a copy of the smaller forms
let me know.

ARCSITE, COHG, and GENERAL ATTRIBUTES
These tables compare the ARCSITE, COHG, and general attribute
recommendations from a national standards process (aka the Glorieta meeting
see http://colby.uwyo.edu/FGDCNCPTTHOME.html for the report) for sites.
I will add projects when complete. The point of this is to compare what
is out there now, what we might want to be in the database side of an information
system, and how these stack up against each other. Isaac Barner created
the first draft of this useful product. Alissa DeVoney and I have added
to his work on the site information tables. They are in Excel spreadsheets.

DRAFT STATEWIDE SITE FORM and INSTRUCTIONS -- NEW
11.10.98!
Kate Kirch writes:
This is the first version of the SHPO Standard Site
Form and accompanying User Guide draft. This form is the digital version
of the 'hard copy' form that Paul Claeyssens circulated a few weeks ago.
There are still a number of things to work out, such as the need for multiple
site visit records, expanded code values for the entire state, a numbering
scheme, etc. These will in the next few weeks so your thoughts, comments,
etc. are welcome.
Many thanks to Paul and Alyssa DeVoney of COHG for providing
the COHG database, digital forms and user guide as a starting point for
this effort. Their contribution has undoubtedly saved us all many, many
hours of effort!
Note: the Access file (SHPO DataForm.mdb) is Access 97.
The User Guide is in MS Word 97. Please let me know if you are unable to
read these files.
The files are available as a .ZIP archive (SHPOStdForm.zip
128k) containing both files. The individual files are also available
in uncompressed format: the user guide (SHPOUser.DOC
121k) and MS-ACCESS
file (SHPODataForm.MDB 808kb). For those lacking MS Word 97, we also have
a Word6 version available (SHPOUSE6.DOC 75k)
