About

The “Asthma Files Site” add-on for Plone is a research tool, currently in use by RPI but available to anyone doing similar research. It features Dexterity content types and a Collective Cover integration to enable the creation of an “Asthma File”: a collectively developed document containing artifacts and annotations.

Installation

Usage

Follow these steps to begin using the “Asthma Files Site” functionality in your Plone site.

Add a Question

Questions facilitate Annotations of Artifacts when researchers respond to them in context. Before you do anything else, add an Asthma Question to your site.

Create Artifacts

An “Asthma File” is produced via the assembly of artifacts and annotations. So next, add some artifacts to your site. E.g.:

Audio artifact

Image artifact

Video artifact

Create an Asthma File

Now we can create an Asthma File, which is a collaborative document consisting of multiple Artifacts, Annotations, etc. Made possible via the use of Collective Cover. [1]
