Activity:FieldworkProcess

Activity:FieldworkProcess node definition.

Description

Nodes with both the "Activity" and "FieldworkProcess" labels, representing an individual high-level fieldwork action such as the work of an individual working day, excavation of an individual archaeological context, or documentation of a specific survey transect with materials collection, etc.. "FieldworkProcess" activities will usually be part of a larger "FieldSeason" activity, and may be composed of multiple sub-activities of various types. Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #6BAED6: Activity:FieldworkProcess with black (#000000) label text.

Analogy

A row in a "FieldworkProcess" spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example

"UJAP.2024:U.10:progress20May": all work associated with trench U.10 on 20 May 2024.

CIDOC-CRM Mapping

MAYBE include a short summmary here, but leave the details for the designated CIDOC-CRM section.

Node Properties

Basic Properties

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)

name	string	Y	Y	Unique name by which this FieldworkProcess is known in the database.	"UJAP.2024:U.10:2024-05-11"
description	string	Y	n	Short description of the FieldworkProcess activity recorded by this node. Will almost certainly be unique, but this is not enforced.	"Daily fieldwork in UJ.U.10 on 11 May, 2024"
dateStart	string (edtf)	n	n	Where relevant and available, the date this activity began, as precisely as possible, in extended date-time format (level 0/1 supported).	"2024-05-11"
dateEnd	string (edtf)	n	n	Where relevant and available, the date this activity ended, as precisely as possible, in extended date-time format (level 0/1 supported).	"2024-05-11"

TENTATIVE Properties

(these may be changed to edge/relationships with Vocab terms, rather than directly stored as node properties)

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
-	-	-	-	-	-
method	[string list]	n	n	A list of general methods used in this FieldworkProcess activity, as a string array. Values are selected from the Vocab:MethodType controlled vocabulary	["excavation," "survey"]
tool	[string list]	n	n	A list of general tools/equipment used in this FieldworkProcess activity, as a string array. Values are selected from the Vocab:ToolType controlled vocabulary.	["tool1", "tool2", "tool3"]
conditions	[string list]	n	n	A list of conditions under which this FieldworkProcess activity took place, as a string array. Values are selected from the Vocab:ActivityConditions controlled vocabulary.	["rushed", "dry"]

System/Audit Properties

(these are not required/enforced by Neo4j but are populated via the UJAP Database web application; these could also be handled—perhaps more simply—by edge/relationship to AuditEvent nodes)

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
proposedAt	datetime	n	n	Timestamp of entity proposal (initial database record creation)	"2026-01-30T02:39:15.638Z"

approvedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who created this entity's initial/proposed record	"person@email.com"
committedAt	datetime	n	n	of node entity COMMIT (i.e., formal approval/ publishing to database by an admin).	"2026-01-31T02:41:56.043Z"
committedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who COMMITTED this node entity.	"person@email.com"
