Presentation given by Béatrice Markhoff of the University of Tours at the ARIADNE winter school on work that has been carried out to integrate data and to implement ArSol (Archives du Sol). The presentation describes the mapping to the CIDOC CRM and how its been implemented to provide a web based application.

Mapping to CIDOC-CRM
[Le Goff et al. CAA 2014]

14. 3. Semantic Inter. for ArSol
Selection of basic archaeological information
- information common to all excavations:
features and artefacts
- retain only the data characterizing the
feature or object

15. E22.Man-Made Object à collected materials (artifacts)
E25.Man-Made Feature à features identified at the excavation site

22. Querying with
Protégé’s plugin
PREFIX : <http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm/>
SELECT ?artefact ?use
WHERE {
?artefact a :E22_Man-Made_Object; :P2_has_type ?usage.
?usage a :E55_Type; :P1_is_identified_by ?usageid.
?usageid a :E41_Appellation; :P3_has_note ?use.
FILTER (?use != "")
}
(http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm/)

23. 4. Mapping Implementation
Querying from (semantic web) applications…
Future works:
- Complete mappings for ArSol
- Another database to be queried in
the same way
- Guidelines for other databases
- Semantic Web applications using
those resources
