IRISH OGHAM STONES AS LOD

In Archeofoss 2020, Sophie C. Schmidt and Florian Thiery presented a project on digitization and provision of Irish monoliths inscribed with Ogham script in Wikidata as Linked Open Data (LOD) (abstract in https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk).

The standard work on Ogham inscriptions is the volume of the Corpus Inscriptionum Insularum Celticarum, which describes two different types of words: formula words and nomenclature words. The combinations of these two types leads to inscriptions that feature kinship or tribal relations. This information occurs as a linked-graph-network.

The goal of the working group ‘Research Squirrel Engineers’ (http://squirrel.link) is to create a workflow for digitizing the analogue data and publish the stones as LOD, reproduction of analyses based on the analog CIIC catalog and enhance the database with Linked Open Data available online.

The aim is to discuss the pros and cons, as well as the challenges of the strategies. This includes the major challenge and possibility of citizen science vs. data sovereignty.

OPEN SCIENCE: DISSEMINATION OF DIGITAL CULTURAL CONTENT

In Archeofoss 2020, Alessandra Caravale, Alessandra Piergrossi and Irene Rossi presented (abstract in https://zenodo.org/record/4002961#.YHgzlOgzaUk) their reflection on Open Science, understood as participatory science, and the important role assumed by Archeologia e Calcolatori (A&C). 

Open Science supports innovation in knowledge, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. Scientific data sharing is one of the missions of the Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences (https://www.ispc.cnr.it/it_it/), a newly formed hub, which has collected the multiannual legacy of research dedicated to archaeological informatics.

VIRTUAL ARCHAEOLOGY FOR LITTLE GUYS

In Archeofoss 2020 (abstract in Zenodo ) Ben Price presented his Thesis work, a new approach based on the assessment of the feasibility and sustainability of minimal resource VR modelling and its application to small-scale archaeological research. The use of game engines in archaeology is certainly not a new thing and are being used as non-game related tools for archaeological investigation. This is a free resource that can help the development of VR archaeology.
