enarratives module

What does an enaratives record represent?

A narrative is a story that informs the viewer about the associated attached records from other modules. A Narrative can represent a page of content on a website or other application outside of EMu.

• Live Website
• Application (mobile, rail, desktop, etc.)
• Exhibit labels
• Transect/Plot experimental design and statistics
• Archived social/public media
• A place to hang on to data where your focal piece of information is textual, e.g. a story.

A Narrative record WILL BE REQUIRED to have a narrative body.
