ABSTRACT
Modern field science, including archaeology, utilizes a massive amount of digital data captured by state-of-the-art measurement instruments. Large archaeological data sets may include images, geospatial data, analytical data, and metadata. Geospatial information plays a central role in the life cycle of those data; information is collected, organized, and published for analyses and visualization as final output using geospatial data as an index. The web is an ideal place to publish scientific data and promote diverse collaboration, and thus we need a system to publish digital archaeological data efficiently so that it is also integrated in our data management workflow. In order to realize this goal, we designed and implemented a web-based application named ArcheoSTOR Map, which visualizes and publishes raw archaeological data onto a map.

The challenges of digging data: a study of context in archaeological data reuse
JCDL '13: Proceedings of the 13th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesField archaeology only recently developed centralized systems for data curation, management, and reuse. Data documentation guidelines, standards, and ontologies have yet to see wide adoption in this discipline. Moreover, repository practices have ...
