Database and Dataset Citation

Citation plugin

The citation plugin (or citation-generator plugin) is an Arches plugin that allows almost direct exporting of a dataset of Heritage Places (HP) from the EAMENA database, resulting from a search (Search URL and then GeoJSON URL), to Zenodo¹ and can be later hosted under the Zenodo EAMENA community . The plugin calculates all the data and a large portion of the metadata on-the-fly to generates a GeoJSON file (the HPs) along with basic distribution maps and charts. Further documentation can be found on GitHub.
