Ubi Erat Lupa

The main objective of the project is to Development of a knowledge base that integrates complementary archaeological information sources. The source data comprise complementary scientific databases and corpora describing finds with inscriptions and iconography of the Roman era.

Integration is achieved by intellectually interpreting each source schema in terms of the CIDOC CRM model and storing it in an RDF knowledge base, thus creating a body of unique archaeological knowledge in digital form.
