Research collections of human skeletons from historical contexts exist at universities, museums and institutions concerned with the preservation of cultural heritage. The collections are of value to the history of science. As well they provide valuable research infrastructures for the anthropological reconstruction of biodiversity in prehistory and forensics and are used as reference samples in the development and test of osteological methods. There is a certain consensus in anthropology which methods are adequate for assessing a conventional set of biological traits on the skeleton. This, however, does not extend to data documentation or modern methodical approaches. The proposed project draws on the Alexander Ecker Skeletal Collection, kept at the Uniseum Freiburg, to develop a catalogue of data items referring to the anthropological material and its curation. This scheme will take the form of a standardised codebook for data collection. Data will be organised in a dynamic open-source database system which allows for later extensions to include additional research results and new digital data representations. The database structure will be flexible enough to connect to supraregional databases and enable the exchange of data, even between other local databases with diverging semantics. This will be performed in close collaboration with other institutions holding historical human skeletal collections.

与文化遗产有关的大学，博物馆和机构的研究收集了历史背景的人类骨骼。这些收藏对科学历史具有价值。他们还为史前史和取证中生物多样性的人类学重建提供了宝贵的研究基础设施，并用作骨学方法的开发和测试中的参考样本。人类学有一定的共识，方法足以评估骨骼上常规的一组生物学特征。但是，这并不扩展到数据文档或现代有条理的方法。拟议的项目借鉴了保存在弗洛伊伯格（Uniseum Freiburg）的亚历山大·埃克尔（Alexander Ecker）骨骼收藏，以开发有关人类学材料及其策划的数据项的目录。该方案将采用标准化的数据收集代码簿的形式。数据将在动态开源数据库系统中组织，该系统允许以后的扩展程序包括其他研究结果和新的数字数据表示。数据库结构将足够灵活，可以连接到超级区域数据库，并使数据交换，即使在其他具有不同语义的本地数据库之间也可以交换。这将与拥有历史人类骨骼收藏的其他机构密切合作。
