Ontologies increase data interoperability and their potential for being reused. The CIDOC CRM is a formal ontology designed to facilitate the integration, mediation, and interchange of heterogeneous cultural heritage information. APs provide exemplary mappings that other researchers can use as an orientation. For creating and testing the ARIADNE mortuary data AP, data from early medieval cemeteries provided an ideal case study because of the high degree of similarity between sites. The mapping of early medieval cemetery data has shown that mapping to an ontology contributes to data interoperability in several ways. Firstly, it may reveal inconsistencies in the native dataset and improve data organisation for future projects. Secondly, it enables the querying of i...

The data will be made available open access online ensuring compliance to standards in data production for data sharing (metadata and mappings) and interoperability with related initiatives. In this paper we will present first results of the project. Based on focus group meetings and analysis of our resources we created a conceptual data model for a site database. We will implement the data structure into the Arches Heritage Inventory & Management System and extend the Arches CIDOC CRM graph for the mapping of our data.

This paper will discuss the less tangible forms of impact resulting from the work of the SEADDA members working within and across their own networks. These impacts include the new avenues of communication and collaboration created through the data stewardship and management focussed National Workshops held in Norway, Serbia, Portugal, Turkey, France, Romania and Ireland. Each workshop took a different form to be suit the needs of their community, but all resulted in progress towards ensuring the long- term persistence of digital archaeological data. This paper will describe the impact of each of these National Workshops. SEADDA made and strengthened connections across a range of different areas of collaboration, primarily through work with members of the European Archaeological Council, the ...

Research infrastructures are facilities, resources and services used by the scientific community ... more Research infrastructures are facilities, resources and services used by the scientific community to conduct research. They include major research instruments, laboratories, databases, libraries and archival collections. Research infrastructures require digital infrastructure and services for information storage, management, processing, publication and access. In archaeology, data centres and repositories where researchers can deposit and access documentation and data from excavations, field surveys, laboratory analysis, etc. already exist in several European countries. The EU FP7 project ARIADNE (www.ariadneinfrastructure. eu) will set up a common interface to a digital infrastructure integrating archaeological information and datasets held by data centres, institutional and other repositories which are distributed across Europe. This paper addresses the following questions: What is an e-infrastructure for research? How will ARIADNE integrate digital resources on the European level?...

Les récentes études soulignent l'étendue du phénomène à travers une Europe aux pratiques funéraires riches et variées. Il débute au cours du VI e siècle, en particulier dans sa seconde moitié, et atteint son intensité maximale durant le VII e siècle. Les sites concernés appartiennent à l'horizon des Reihengräberfelder (nécropoles à rangées) et se caractérisent par l'usage de l'inhumation habillée et du dépôt funéraire. Ils se répartissent sur une large partie de l'Europe, depuis le sud-est de l'Angleterre jusqu'à la Roumanie. Le prélèvement des objets est sélectif et répond à des considérations qui ne peuvent être systématiquement rattachées à la recherche cupide de beaux objets. La chronologie d'intervention est similaire entre les sites avec des réouvertures anciennes, contemporaines de la période d'utilisation des aires funéraires. L'étude archéothanatologique montre que les remaniements surviennent généralement après la décomposition des corps, mais avant la disparition complète du contenant et le colmatage de la sépulture. Identifiées pendant longtemps comme des actes transgressifs, les réouvertures semblent aujourd'hui devoir être davantage considérées comme une pratique communautaire complexe, tissant un lien étroit entre le monde des vivants et celui des morts.
