21. Beyond Text proposals
1. RCAHMS APIs – to enable members of the
public to search for data and save the results
for use in developing new uses eg Apps
2. Thesaurus – to enable users to select and
‘vote’ for a Canmore image to represent each
site type
3. Image tagging – to enable users to add their
own keywords to Canmore images and to
search for tags like an image bank
