Adding fields to database tables is easy.

Fields and Dublin Core approximates

•  photographer => contributer.photographer > is already there — just doesn’t appear on all the forms
•  scan date => date.created
•  scan equipment => format.creation
•  archive image quality => format.extent
•  original title => title.alternative
• image collector => contributer.collector ?
• originating archive identifier => identifier.citation
• image creator or publisher => publisher
• special collection identifier = identifier.other

Fixing the scripts is the ugly part. The variations on workflow (Public Submission; Management Submission; Single Historic, Single reshoot, or both; Submission approval; Archive edit) and script locations, names, and functions is more than mildly confusing.

from http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/LS_Manage0.html (Landscape Change Program Management Procedures) we can go to

• "Submit Historic Pair" http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/LS_Submit4.php (which calls LS_PROCESSX5.php to process the submission)
•  "submit reshoot" http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/LS_SingleSubmit.php (which calls LS_PROCESSX5_Single.php)

from http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/ submit_options.htm (Public Submit a photo pages) we can go to both of those, and

• "submit single historic" http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/ LS_Submit_Singl_Hist_photo.php (which calls LS_PROCESSX5.php)

from http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/LS_Manage0.html (Landscape Change Program Management Procedures) we can also go to

• TEMPORARY FILES (LIST, VIEW, MODIFY, PROCESS, or DELETE) https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/LS_Manage1.php

which takes us to

• SUBMISSION REVIEW (Temp files) https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_CheckTransfer.php (which calls LS_PROCESS3.php)
• ARCHIVE FILES (LIST, VIEW, MODIFY, or DELETE) https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/LS_Manage3.php

 which takes us to

• SUBMISSION REVIEW (archive files) https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_ArchiveDisplay.php (which calls LS_PROCESS4.php)

And if you click the "Add Another File" button here

• SINGLE SUBMIT FORM FOR EXISTING SET: Admin Versions https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_SingleSubmit.php (different from /submitting/LS_SingleSubmit.php ?)

which calls LS_ProcessSingle.php

So, by my count, the following scripts need to be edited to account for additional input information

• http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/LS_Submit4.php
• http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/LS_SingleSubmit.php
• http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/ LS_Submit_Singl_Hist_photo.php
• http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/LS_PROCESSX5.php
• http://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/submitting/ LS_PROCESSX5_Single.php
• https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_CheckTransfer.php
• https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_PROCESS3.php
• https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_ArchiveDisplay.php
• https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_PROCESS4.php
• https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_SingleSubmit.php
• https://www.uvm.edu/perkins/landscape/WORKING_FOLDER/ LS_ProcessSingle.php

It took me better than an hour just to figure this out. It could be another 16-24 man hours to make it all work. So, I could do it — but it will cost you. I just don’t know what.
