ARIADNE Registry - towards interoperability
1 like1,081 views
Ariadne, funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme, focuses on integrating existing archaeological research data infrastructures to enhance data accessibility and reusability. The project involves gathering and implementing advanced search functionalities for diverse datasets while maintaining a catalog of archaeological resources and metadata. Key services include data ingestion, digital asset management, and quality assessment, with an emphasis on facilitating resource discovery across multiple criteria.
ARIADNE Registry - towards interoperability
- 1. ARIADNE is funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme Towards Interoperability: The ARIADNE Registry Dimitris Gavrilis, Christos Papatheodorou Digital CuraDon Unit IMIS –Athena Research Centre
- 2. ARIADNE Objectives • Integration of the existing archaeological research data infrastructures so that researchers can (re)use the various distributed datasets. • Activities: • Aggregation: gather information about the existing data resources and services. • Integration: implement advanced search functionalities on this information in order to support the discovery of resources that make good candidates for integration.
- 3. Data Registries • Data organization and management approach that provides access to and re-use of distributed data resources and services. • Datasets, collections, metadata schemas and vocabularies along with their mappings are hosted and described by a common schema. • ARIADNE project aims to step beyond accessibility and re-usability and integrate existing archaeological research data.
- 5. ARIADNE Catalogue Data Model Outline The central notion of the model is the class Archaeological Resource. :DataResource • :Dataset • :ArchaeologicalCollection • :Metadata Schemas :LanguageResource • :Vocabulary • :Mapping • :Gazetteer :Service Archaeological Resource

- 12. • REST based ingest service • receives XML instances compliant with ARIADNE Catalog Data Model XSD • check for mandatory fields, integrity checks, perform auditing on newly ingested records, etc. • a status / response result in JSON/XML • OAI-PMH for item ingestion from native repositories • SPARQL interface • http://ariadne-registry.dcu.gr:8080/openrdf-sesame/repositories/ ariadne Machine Interface
- 14. Main services ARIADNE Catalog & Data Access: • contains the database where all informaDon is stored; follows the ACDM model • accessible through a Data Access Layer
- 15. Main services Deposit Service: Ingest ACDM related informaDon and to check for mandatory fields, integrity checks, perform audiDng on newly ingested records
- 16. Main services Digital assets management • provides tools to manage digital assets within the ARIADNE catalog • create new records and manage exisDng records in the ARIADNE catalog
- 17. Main services PreservaDon Service stores the full lifecycle of each enDty of the ACDM model including vocabularies
- 18. Main services Quality Service evaluates the provided informaDon about an enDty (e.g. a dataset, collecDon or a distribuDon) and reports back a quality measure.
- 19. Main services Metadata Enhancement • Uses ontologies and vocabularies. • Enhancements include mining of relaDons, automaDc linking with thesauri and vocabularies, etc.
- 20. Main services Vocabulary Management • Ingest and manage vocabularies • SKOSify vocabularies • Manage SKOS concepts, ediDng and interlinking with each other
- 21. • What: to enable resource discovery according to • Event Types (such as excavation, survey etc), • Topic/theme, • Collections/Objects. • Where: to enable resource discovery according to spatial criteria. • When: to enable resource discovery according to temporal criteria, such as local/national period terms. • Resource type: to enable resource discovery based on the attribute ariadne:subject of the class ArchaeologicalResource: • Fieldwork databases, Event/intervention databases, Sites and monuments databases, Scientific databases, Artefacts and Collections of Artefacts and Burials. • Need: mappings to SKOSified thesauri and vocabularies of archaeological object types, periods and topics.
