ARIADNE

Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking (ARIADNE) was a project that brought together and integrated existing research data infrastructures so that researchers can use the various distributed datasets and new and powerful technologies as an integral component of the archaeological research methodology. Ariadne enabled trans-national access of researchers to data centres, tools and guidance, and the creation of new Web-based services based on common interfaces to data repositories, availability of reference datasets and usage of innovative technologies. The project was completed in January 2017.

The ADS played an important role as Deputy project lead. We had primary responsibility for working with the archaeological community to develop the Guides to Good Practice, publishing a number of new Guides, and also coordinated transnational access and training. We also helped define the user requirements for the ARIADNE portal and played a key role in Natural Language Processing, as well as leading overall quality control.

The ADS were co-authors in the final project publications:
