86.31.103.134:

Within any given [[Module]] the need may occasionally arise to record and display different information for different types of items which are still justifiably within the same module. The classic example of this would be recording different information for 'cuts' and 'fills' even though both are still 'contexts'.

86.31.103.134:

Modules represent discrete types of archaeological record keeping. A module will always have its own unique series of [[Item| Items]] which generally corresponds to a [[Register]]. Each module has its own settings file which enables it to have a unique set of forms and subforms which may include custom PHP scripts.

Modules are modular in the sense that a given instance of ARK may use different combinations of modules according to the needs of the project. Some modules are really so key to the basic functioning of ARK that they are hard to do without, but never the less they follow the same rules as all other modules. A good example of such a module is the Address Book module, without which much of the system wont work.

To allow greater flexibility in recording and display to users, [[Modtype| Modtypes]] allow records within the same module to contain slightly different information.

86.31.103.134:

"Items" in ARK are key database records to which other data is attached. They act as unique keys for series within the data such as context numbers or sample numbers. Items along with [[Fragment| Fragments]] make up the key 'atomic' units of data in ARK. Items are series within [[Module| Modules]] and are identified by a unique key value pair. Each item will therefore be identified by its [[Itemkey]] and [[Itemvalue]]. The Itemkey indicates which module the item belongs to and the Itemvalue is its unique identifier within that module.

Fragment

2007-06-03T09:28:24Z

86.31.103.134:

'Fragments' often referred to as 'Frags' (alongside [[Item| Items]] are one 'atomic' particles of data in ARK. Fragments contain snippets of the data for a record which broadly corresponds with the idea of a column or field in a normal database. Each fragment is represented by a single row in one of the [[Data Class]] tables in the database and is indentified by a unique row id or 'Fragment ID'. Each Fragment must be linked to either another [[Item]] by its itemkey/itemvalue pair, or to another fragment in what is termed a [[Chain]]. In the case of chains, the itemkey/value pair is filled with the table name/fragment id of the linked fragment.

Fragments contain the pieces of data that go to make up a record, this might be snippets of text or dates or linked [[Actors]] undertaking an action. Within each [[Data Class]] different types of teh same fragment are identified by [[Class Type]].
