“…The glossary resources used in the process are Simple Names for Deposits and Cuts, Find Type Index, Material Index, Small Finds and the Bulk Find Material glossary. All the KOS resources had been previously expressed in SKOS format for the purposes of the STAR project [18,19].…”

“…The STAR demonstrator uses the decoupled RDF files to support cross searching between grey literature documents and disparate datasets [18], in terms of the core CRM-EH conceptual model. A SPARQL engine supports the semantic search capabilities of the demonstrator, while an interactive interface hides the underlying model complexity and offers search (and browsing) for Samples, Finds, Contexts or interpretive Groups with their properties and relationships.…”

Abstract. This paper discusses the automatic generation of rich metadata for semantic search of grey literature connected with archaeological datasets. The work is part of the STAR project, in collaboration with English Heritage. An extension of the CIDOC CRM for the archaeological domain acts as a core ontology. This enables cross search of various datasets and an extract of the Archaeological Data Service OASIS library of excavation reports. Rich metadata is automatically extracted from grey literature, directed by the CRM, via a three phase process of semantic enrichment employing the GATE toolkit. This is expressed as XML annotations coupled with reports and RDF metadata,. both expressed as CRM entities, qualified by SKOS archaeological concepts. Examples from two applications are discussed. The Andronikos web portal delivers the annotated XML files for visual inspection. The STAR research demonstrator offers unified search of excavation data and grey literature in terms of the core ontology.

“…The development of an archaeological semantic web has been a long-held vision (Richards 2006) but, until recently, there were few working examples. A number of the basic building blocks are now in place, including mappings of data schemas to standard high level ontologies such as the CIDOC CRM and the provision of classification systems, thesauri and authority files as Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) web services, through projects such as STELLAR and STAR (Binding et al 2008;Binding 2010;Tudhope et al 2011). …”

It is essential that we develop effective systems for the management and preservation of digital heritage data. This chapter outlines the key issues surrounding access, sharing and curation, and describes current efforts to establish research infrastructures in a number of countries. It aims to provide a detailed overview of the issues involved in the creation, ingest, preservation and dissemination of 3D datasets in particular. The chapter incorporates specific examples from past and present Archaeology Data Service (ADS) projects and highlights the recent work undertaken by the ADS and partners to specify standards and workflows in order to aid the preservation and reuse of 3D datasets.

Andreas Vlachidis is a Research Assistant in the HypermediaAbstract. The paper discusses a prototype investigation of semantic annotation, a form of metadata assigning conceptual entities to textual instances, in this case archaeological grey literature. The use of Information Extraction (IE), a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique, is central to the annotation process while the use of Knowledge Organization System (KOS) is explored for the association of semantic annotation with both ontological and terminological references. The annotation process follows a rule-based information extraction approach using the GATE NLP toolkit, together with the CIDOC CRM ontology, its CRM-EH archaeological extension and English Heritage thesauri and glossaries. Results are reported from an initial evaluation, which suggest that these information extraction techniques can be applied to archaeological grey literature reports. Further work is discussed drawing on the evaluation and consideration of the characteristics of the archaeology domain.
