Guus discussing work at his institution on PCA applied to undertake automatic ceramic assemblage classifications.<\/p>\n

14:42<\/p>\n

Interesting, Lange noting Lots of levels of abstraction from real objects to data, many interpretive steps in classifying etc.#CAAPerth<\/a><\/p>\n

Guus’ example of term variation and disambiguation reminded me of the @sotonDH SAMTLA talk from a few weeks ago. This discussed a tool that enabled exactly the form of multiple-term searching. Watch the SAMTLA seminar video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

14:31<\/p>\n

Guus Lange talking now: Beyond metadata; computing archaeological knowledge<\/p>\n

14:29<\/p>\n

Q&A: mentioned Sebastian Heath<\/a>‘s nomisma<\/a> project as an example.<\/p>\n

14:23<\/p>\n

Holly discussing a University of Southampton resource held on the ADS: Roman Amphora a Digital Resource<\/a>. This resource has had 370,000 page views this year. Users stay for extended periods on many parts. It is by far the most used resource the ADS hold. There are twice as much as our entire Grey Literature Library (18,000 fieldwork reports).<\/p>\n

In Holly’s work she has tried to map this dataset several times, due to the complexity of the process and the many possibilities. @leifuss<\/a> suggested that it should be aligned to locational data for example. Reminded also of this tweet and the surrounding discussion #caauk<\/a>:<\/p>\n

@mr56k<\/a> making linked data dreams come true by skosifying archaeological thesauri #caauk<\/a> #whyhavewewaitedsolong<\/a><\/p>\n

Holly found that even stripping out skos:related it was too complicated. She decided it was \u00a0better to create a variety of classifications – need to take the literals (skos:altlabel) and create an RDF node.<\/p>\n

Big questions:<\/p>\n
