Answers to the most common questions about CIATP and BARCINO.
If you have a question, look here first. If you cannot find the answer or it is not clear enough, that also helps us improve the Help Center.
What is CIATP?
The ATP Intelligence Center (CIATP) is the environment that complements the Architecture of Time and Power (ATP), progressively adding tools for consultation, organization, analysis and intelligence. CIATP is a living structure: its capabilities will expand as new environments and services are developed.
What is BARCINO?
BARCINO is the first operational CIATP environment open to users. It provides access to ATP content, search and filtering, reading management, saved reading positions and a personal selection of favorites.
What is the relationship between ATP and CIATP?
The Architecture of Time and Power (ATP) is the conceptual architecture and knowledge corpus. CIATP complements it with tools and capabilities to organize, consult and progressively analyze that knowledge. ATP and CIATP evolve continuously.
Why do I need to register?
Registration allows BARCINO to associate readings, favorites and saved reading positions with your account. This makes it possible to resume reading and keep your personal space when using another device.
What can I currently do in BARCINO?
You can currently explore ATP content, search and filter it, mark content as pending or favorite, mark it as read, stop reading while saving your position, and later resume it from Readings.
Why does BARCINO change language when I open an article?
Within CIATP, navigation uses the language selected by the user. When you open ATP content, the BARCINO bar and its associated help use the language of that content. A Catalan article therefore shows BARCINO in Catalan, a Portuguese article in Portuguese, and an English article in English. When you return to CIATP, your selected navigation language is restored.
What does “Pending” mean?
Pending lets you save content that you want to read or resume later. If you had already started reading it, BARCINO also preserves the saved position.
What does “Favorite” mean?
Favorite adds the content to your personal selection of favorites. You can turn this mark on or off whenever you want.
What does “Read” mean?
Read indicates that you consider the content completed. BARCINO will show it as a completed reading.
How does “Stop reading” work?
When you select Stop reading, BARCINO saves approximately where you stopped in the text. From Readings you can select Continue reading and return to that point.
Can I continue reading on another device?
Yes. Your readings and saved position are associated with your CIATP account. When you sign in with the same account on another device, BARCINO can retrieve them.
What data does BARCINO store about my readings?
BARCINO stores the data needed to provide personal reading functions: content associated with your account, reading status, favorite status, saved position and the dates needed to manage that activity.
How can I stop receiving CIATP communications?
You can change this preference from your Profile. Uncheck the communications option and save the preference to stop accepting periodic CIATP messages.
What is My BARCINO?
My BARCINO is your personal workspace within CIATP. It brings together your Profile, readings, readings in progress, pending and completed readings, favorites, conversations, Reading Notes and preferences. New personal BARCINO capabilities will be added to this same space.
How does reading tracking work?
BARCINO can save a reading as pending, in progress or completed. When you stop reading, it keeps your reading position so you can resume later. In My BARCINO and Readings you can see the status and, when applicable, the progress percentage.
What does the reading percentage mean?
It is the approximate point in the article where BARCINO saved your reading. For example, 75% means you had reached approximately three quarters of the article.
What are Reading Notes?
Reading Notes are personal, private notes linked to a reading. You can use them to save a reflection, an idea or an excerpt you want to retrieve later. They are not public comments and are not part of CIATP Conversations.
How do I create a Reading Note?
While reading an article, press «Reading note» in the BARCINO bar or use the floating button that appears as you move through the article. A small window opens where you can write a note or paste an excerpt. Press ✓ Save note and it will be linked to your reading and approximate reading position.
Where can I see my Reading Notes?
In My BARCINO, open the «Reading Notes» box. You will also see a 📝 indicator beside readings that have notes. The number shows how many notes are linked to that reading.
How can I find an older Reading Note?
In My BARCINO → Reading Notes you can filter notes by domain, article and date range, and sort them by date, article or domain. Results are displayed in pages of 25 records.
Who can see my Reading Notes?
Reading Notes are private by design. BARCINO does not publish them or show them to other users. They are different from Conversations, which are the shared participation space.
What is the difference between Profile and My BARCINO?
My BARCINO is your complete personal workspace. Profile is just one of its functions and contains your basic account information.
What is the difference between a Reading Note and a Conversation?
A Reading Note is private and intended for your personal work. A Conversation is a contribution linked to an article and belongs to CIATP's shared discussion space.
How do I switch between language versions of an article?
When an article exists in other languages, BARCINO shows only the other available versions in the header. The ATP link opens the ATP home page in the language of the article you are reading.
