The Open Science Fellows Program: Practicing Open Science

Der Aufsatz gibt die persönlichen Erfahrungen der Autorin mit offener Wissenschaft während des Studiums und als Fellow des Fellow-Programms Freies Wissen wieder. Einleitend wird eine kurze Einführung zum Begriff „Open Science“, offene Wissenschaft, sowie den damit zusammenhängenden Prinzipien gegeben, um anschließend über deren Anwendung in den Studiengängen Klassische Archäologie und Computerlinguistik zu reflektieren. Es folgt eine Vorstellung des Fellow-Programms und ein Überblick der Aktivitäten und die praktische Anwendung der Prinzipien anhand eines Projektes zur Erstellung einer interaktiven, offenen Online-Bibliografie während der achtmonatigen Laufzeit der Programmrunde 2018/2019.The paper presents the personal experience of the author with Open Science during her academic studies and as a fellow of the Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen. The concept “Open Science” is introduced along its accompanying principles. The author reflects upon the application of those principles during her studies of Classical Archaeology and Computational Linguistics. An introduction to the Fellow-Programme is also provided, along an overview of the author’s activities and implementation of the principles during the eight months period of the programme 2018/2019, where a project to create an interactive, open, and online bibliography was pursued

One Schema to Rule them All. The Inner Workings of the Digital Archive ARCHE

A Resource Centre for the HumanitiEs (ARCHE) ist ein digitales Archiv, das vom Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities an der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften betrieben wird. Das Archiv speichert Daten aus dem gesamten Bereich der Geisteswissenschaften und bietet eine persistente Aufbewahrung und Bereitstellung von Ressourcen. Es wird der technische Aufbau von ARCHE beschrieben, wobei das Augenmerk auf das für die Auffindbarkeit, den Zugriff und die Nachnutzung von Daten maßgeschneiderte Metadatenschema gelegt wird. Darüberhinaus verbindet das Schema die verschiedenen Systemkomponenten, enthält Mappings auf andere wohlbekannte Schemata, stellt mehrsprachige Label für die GUI-Ansicht bereit und wird verwendet, um ein Metadatenformular zu generieren.A Resource Centre for the HumanitiEs (ARCHE) is a digital archive provided by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities, which is part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The archive welcomes data from all humanities fields and offers persistent hosting as well as dissemination of resources. The technical setup of ARCHE is described, focusing on the bespoke metadata schema that was created to help in finding, accessing, and reusing data. Beyond that the schema binds together the different system components, contains mappings to other well-known schemas, provides multilingual labels for GUI display, and is used to generate a metadata form

Data Curation: How and Why. A Showcase with Re-use Scenarios.

IANUS is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with the objective to build up a digital archive for archaeology and ancient studies in Germany. A first three year phase of conceptual work is now being followed by a second, in which the concepts get implemented and the data centre begins its operational work. Data curation is essential for preservation of digital data and helps to detect errors, aggregate documentation, ensure the reusability of data and in some cases even add further functionality and additional files. This paper will present the workflow of data curation based on a data collection about European vertebrate fauna and will exemplify the different data processing stages at IANUS according to the OAIS model – from its initial submission until its final presentation on the recently established data portal. One aspect of this will be the discussion of the archival information package. To enable and ease the reusability of research data, it is useful to enrich the data. This includes the GIS integration of geographic informations and reutilisation of bibliography. Finally a re-use scenario of research data stored in the IANUS repository will be presented that offers researchers a unified search and discovery facilities over several distributed and heterogeneous datasets by using Semantic Web technologies.  

Share - Publish - Store - Preserve. Methodologies, Tools and Challenges for 3D Use in Social Sciences and Humanities

Through this White Paper, which gathers contributions from experts of 3D data as well as professionals concerned with the interoperability and sustainability of 3D research data, the PARTHENOS project aims at highlighting some of the current issues they have to face, with possible specific points according to the discipline, and potential practices and methodologies to deal with these issues. During the workshop, several tools to deal with these issues have been introduced and confronted with the participants experiences, this White Paper now intends to go further by also integrating participants feedbacks and suggestions of potential improvements. Therefore, even if the focus is put on specific tools, the main goal is to contribute to the development of standardized good practices related to the sharing, publication, storage and long-term preservation of 3D data

Evaluation of Tools for Clustering of Archaeological Data

Dedicated clustering programs, preferably with graphical user interfaces, are a useful alternative for those not very well acquainted with programming languages. In the last decades a variety of ready-to-use tools were developed, of which a freely availlable selection was evaluated in regard to their suitability for archaeological data, the number of functions and ease of use. This task was done with a dataset describing Aegean seals

Saving Us from the Digital Dark Age: the Austrian perspective

In Austria, archaeological research and excavation practice is shaped by a legislative framework and institutional actors. Besides the institutions, the role of private archaeological contractors has grown in the last decade and recently non-commercial associations have been founded. According to the Austrian Monument Protection Act, the Federal Monuments Authority issues permits for any archaeological excavation or survey activity. Documentation and preservation of physical material are regulated by the Monument Protection Act as well as by dedicated guidelines published by the Federal Monuments Authority. With the recent increased use of digital methods, the importance of preserving and disseminating digital data has risen. Although the Austrian government pursues a digitisation agenda including the promotion of Open Science, the availability of repositories suitable for long-term preservation of digital data does not meet the requirements arising from the ever-increasing amount of data

Practices of Linked Open Data in Archaeology and Their Realisation in Wikidata

In this paper, we introduce Linked Open Data (LOD) in the archaeological domain as a means to connect dispersed data sources and enable cross-querying. The technology behind the design principles and how LOD can be created and published is described to enable less-familiar researchers to understand the presented benefits and drawbacks of LOD. Wikidata is introduced as an open knowledge hub for the creation and dissemination of LOD. Different actors within archaeology have implemented LOD, and we present which challenges have been and are being addressed. A selection of projects showcases how Wikidata is being used by archaeologists to enrich and open their databases to the general public. With this paper, we aim to encourage the creation and re-use of LOD in archaeology, as we believe it offers an improvement on current data publishing practices
