DigitalRockArt Attributes

The pages which describe the DigitalRockArt categories, classes, attribute sets, and attributes are designed to serve multiple purposes.

• a reference for people recording rock art or reviewing rock art recordings.
• a discussion area for proposing changes.

• the source for the attributes displayed on the DigitalRockArt recording pages.

Attributes are application data and may be changed from time to time. If you are a recorder and wish to contribute a proposed change, please follow the instructions on the page you are changing. It is important to place proposed changes at the bottom of each page under the Proposed Changes heading. This will avoid confusing the recorders and computer programs which read these pages.
