About

Goal

With a goal of fostering a more open and collaborative research community, the DISCO: Data Integration for Conservation Science project is building a comprehensive system called Arches for Science to help scientists, heritage professionals, and organizations secure, retrieve, visualize, compare, and share heritage science data, while managing tasks in the lab.

Building on the Arches open-source software, Arches for Science includes tools for annotations, material sampling, retrieval and visualization of instrument data, and image and data comparison.

Arches for Science software

Arches for Science is currently in development with a focus on the technical examination of art, which includes tools for annotations, material sampling, retrieval and visualization of instrument data, and image and data comparison.
