在过去的20年里,电子基础设施对科学事业所有部门的研究的开展和进展变得越来越重要。日益协作性、分散性和数据密集型研究需要通过电子基础设施共享资源(数据、工具、计算设施)以及支持研究小组之间的有效合作(ESF 2011;ESFRI 2016)。此外,人们预计,有了大数据集(‘大数据’)、电子基础设施和先进的计算技术,就可以解决新的科学问题。考古研究界很早就采用了各种数字方法和工具,以获取、组织、分析和展示个别项目的研究结果。然而,在为遗产部门共享、发现、获取和再利用数据提供电子基础设施和服务方面落后于其他研究领域,如自然科学和生命科学。其结果是考古数据高度碎片化,跨机构、跨国家和跨学科的协作研究能力有限(Aspöck和Geser,2014)。这一情况正在由Ariadne:欧洲考古数据集网络高级研究基础设施解决。这项电子基础设施倡议由考古机构、数据档案和技术开发商组成的财团推动,并由欧盟委员会的第七框架方案(Ariadne 2014a;Niccolucci and Richards 2013)提供资金。Ariadne使大大小小的考古数据提供者能够登记并将其资源(数据集、藏品)连接到电子基础设施,数据门户提供综合资源的搜索、访问和其他服务。该门户网站将最初根据Arena(欧洲考古记录联网检索)项目(Kenny和Richards,2005年;KilBride,2004年)开发的概念验证范例投入使用,其灵感来自于Hansen(1993)提出的一项建议。Ariadne使用各种受控词汇表来集成资源发现元数据,例如W3C数据目录词汇表(适用于描述考古数据集)、主题词库、地名词典、年表和CIDOC概念参考模型(CRM)。在这种整合的基础上,数据门户提供了几种方式来搜索和访问位于不同国家的数据提供者提供的资源。因此,Ariadne充当数据提供商和用户之间的中间人,并为高分辨率图像、反射变换成像(RTI)、3D对象和景观等产品提供额外的网络服务。在研究项目或存储在数字档案中的内容中使用这种服务,将极大地提高研究人员在网上发布、获取和研究考古内容的能力。因此,Ariadne代表着考古学的重大进步;特别是它提供了一个公共平台,可以在其中统一描述、发现和访问分散的数据资源。这也是朝着更宏伟的目标迈出的重要一步,即为考古学家提供综合的数据、工具和计算资源,用于基于网络的研究,创造新的知识(电子考古学)。下一部分描述了欧洲考古学家的数据仓库和服务的现状,以及使它们之间难以实现互操作性的问题。随后介绍了Ariadne用户调查的结果,以匹配对电子基础设施和数据门户服务的期望和要求。The…
In the last 20 years, e-infrastructures have become ever more important for the conduct and progress of research in all branches of scientific enterprise. Increasingly collaborative, distributed and data-intensive research requires the sharing of resources (data, tools, computing facilities) via e-infrastructure as well as support for effective co-operation among research groups (ESF 2011; ESFRI 2016). Moreover there is the expectation that with large datasets ('big data'), e-infrastructure and advanced computing techniques, new scientific questions can be tackled. The archaeological research community has been an early adopter of various digital methods and tools for data acquisition, organisation, analysis and presentation of research results of individual projects. The provision of e-infrastructure and services for data sharing, discovery, access and re-use for the heritage sector is, however, lagging behind other research fields, such as the natural and life sciences. The consequence is a high level of fragmentation of archaeological data and limited capability for collaborative research across institutional and national as well as disciplinary boundaries (Aspöck and Geser 2014). This situation is being addressed by ARIADNE: the Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking in Europe. This e-infrastructure initiative is being promoted by a consortium of archaeological institutes, data archives and technology developers, and funded under the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (ARIADNE 2014a; Niccolucci and Richards 2013). ARIADNE enables archaeological data providers, large and small, to register and connect their resources (datasets, collections) to the e-infrastructure, and a data portal provides search, access and other services across the integrated resources. The portal puts into operation a proof of concept exemplar first developed under the ARENA (Archaeological Records of Europe Networked Access) project (Kenny and Richards 2005; Kilbride 2004), itself inspired by a proposal made by Hansen (1993). ARIADNE integrates resource discovery metadata using various controlled vocabularies, e.g. the W3C Data Catalogue Vocabulary (adapted for describing archaeological datasets), subject thesauri, gazetteers, chronologies, and the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM). Based on this integration the data portal offers several ways to search and access resources made available by data providers located in different countries. ARIADNE thus acts as a broker between data providers and users and offers additional web services for products such as high-resolution images, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), 3D objects and landscapes. Employing such services in research projects or for content deposited in digital archives will greatly enhance the ability of researchers to publish, access and study archaeological content online. ARIADNE therefore represents a substantial advance for archaeology; in particular it provides a common platform where dispersed data resources can be uniformly described, discovered and accessed. It is also an essential step towards the even more ambitious goal of offering archaeologists integrated data, tools and computing resources for web-based research that creates new knowledge (e-archaeology). The next section describes the current landscape of data repositories and services for archaeologists in Europe, and the issues that make interoperability between them difficult to realise. The results of the ARIADNE user surveys undertaken to match expectations and requirements for the e-infrastructure and data portal services are then presented. The …
