E-Archaeology+: An integrated expert system dedicated to Archaeology

摘要

E-archaeology is a project born in Syria and developed initially by Vicken Abajian. The project is related to document antiquities and monuments management. Globally, E-archaeology appears as an expert system of archaeology data capture, storage and analysis. We can experiment with it in the large in a particularly complex, archeologically speaking, country: Syria with an interesting international activity. It is design to improve communication between archaeologists working in museums, archaeological sites and research departments. Hence, a network of databases is put forward with an original conceptual structure scheme called Integrated Documentation Theory to integrate all the information about the antiquities and the possibility of tracking it. E-archeology is not only a data bases manager: different additional features are to be added to introduce e-learning, web data mining, graphical tools and friendly user-interfaces. Thus appears E-archaeology+ which aims to be a universal tool with up to date high technology.
