ETANA-DL Managing complex information applications: An archaeology digital library [Prototype]

This research proposes to develop a digital library (DL) for ancient Near Eastern studies with two archaeological components: DigBase (DB) - a repository and an archive for archaeological data from the Near East and beyond, and DigKit (DK) - a compatible field tool for collecting and recording archaeological data during archaeological surveys and excavations. DB is a model-based, extensible, archaeological componentized DL that will manage complex archaeological information sources based on the client-server paradigm of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). DK is a compatible field tool for collecting, recording and exposing archaeological data in an OAI compliant manner during archaeological surveys and excavations.
