Digitizing Early Farming Cultures Customizing the Arches Heritage Inventory Management System

摘要

The aims of the project 'Digitizing Early Farming Cultures' (DEFC) are to create standardized and integrated research data of Neolithic and Chalcolithic sites and finds of Greece and Anatolia (c. 7000-3000 BC according to Greek terminology), two neighbouring and archaeologically closely related regions usually studied in isolation of each other. 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.
