This paper presents an approach how to create FAIR data for prehistoric mining archaeology, based on the CIDOC CRM ontology and semantic web standards. The interdisciplinary Research Centre HiMAT (History of mining activities in the Tyrol and adjacent areas, University of Innsbruck) investigates mining history from prehistoric to modern times with...
In this article we introduce our semantic modeling approach for data from over 50 years of excavations at Tell el-Daba in Egypt. The CIDOC CRM with some of its extensions is used as an ontological framework to provide the semantics for creating a knowledge graph containing material remains, excavated areas, and documentation resources. An objective...
Im Rahmen eines vom Forschungszentrum HiMAT 1 der Uni-versität Innsbruck koordinierten DACH-Projektes 2 wurden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Amt für Bodendenkmäler, Autonome Provinz Bozen-Südtirol (Catrin Marzoli, Umberto Tecchiati), dem Palais Mamming Museum (Elmar Gobbi), der Soprintendenza per i beni culturali (Franco Marzatico) und dem Museo Castel...
The research center „History of Minining Activities in the Tyrol and Adjacent Areas – Impact on Environment and Human Societies“ (FZ HiMAT) of the University of Innsbruck investigates mining history of the Eastern Alps from prehistory to modern times since 2007. The work presented targets the localisation, identification and interpretation of prehi...
The exploitation of copper deposits in the mountainous areas of the Alps gained enormous economic importance particularly in the 2nd and 1st millennium B.C., as Alpine copper began to play a central role in the metal supply of Europe. This volume summarises the current state of research on prehistoric Alpine copper exploitation from the western and...
The integration of information sources is a fundamental step to advance research and knowledge about the ancient mining landscape of Schwaz/Brixlegg in the Tyrol / Austria. The approach is applied for the localization, identification and interpretation of mining structures within the area. We want to show the use of the CIDOC CRM ontology with exte...
CRMgeo is a formal ontology intended to be used as a global schema for integrating spatiotemporal properties of temporal entities and persistent items. Its primary purpose is to provide a schema consistent with the CIDOC CRM to integrate geoinformation using the conceptualizations, formal definitions, encoding standards and topological relations de...
The ancient mining landscape of Schwaz/Brixlegg in the Tyrol, Austria witnessed mining from prehistoric times to modern times creating a first order cultural landscape when it comes to one of the most important inventions in human history: the production of metal. In 1991 a part of this landscape was lost due to an enormous landslide that reshaped...
There is a huge amount of data spread across the web and stored in databases that we can use to build knowledge graphs. However, exploiting this data to build knowledge graphs is difficult due to the heterogeneity of the sources, scale of the amount of data, and noise in the data. In this paper we present an approach to building knowledge graphs by...
A wealth of information on cultural heritage coming from archaeological investigations exists in the form of geometric information. Here we want to question how this geometric information relates back to the reality it was intended to document. Building upon the CIDOC CRM - an ontology to represent data for cultural heritage -
we apply CRMgeo, an e...
Sharing archaeological data across national borders and between previously unconnected
systems is a topic of increasing importance. Infrastructures such as ARIADNE aim to provide services that
support sharing of archaeological research data. Ontologies such as the CIDOC CRM are an appropriate
instrument to harmonize different data structures and th...
There is a rising interest to enrich cultural heritage data with precise and well identified descriptions of location and geometry of sites of historical events or remains, objects and natural features. The "geospatial community" and the "cultural heritage community" have developed standards reflecting different foci – the OGC/ISO Standards for Geo...
The ISO certified ontology of the CIDOC CRM provides the concepts to model archaeological data in their semantic context while the Open Geospatial Consortiums (OGC) defines standards for geographic information. In this paper we present the CRMgeo extension which integrates the CIDOC CRM the with the OGC standard of ‘GeoSPARQL– A Geographic Query La...
Im traditionsreichen Bergbaugebiet von Schwaz/Brixlegg in Nordtirol ist seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre eine umfangreiche prähistorische Kupfergewinnung auf der Basis von Fahlerzen nachgewiesen. Zahlreiche, noch heute erhaltene Gruben, deren prähistorisches Alter lange Zeit unerkannt geblieben war, können mittlerweile einem spätbronzezeitlichen bis frü...
The extraction and processing of metal ores, particularly those of copper and tin, are regarded as among the principal motors of Bronze Age society. The skills and risks of mining lie behind the weapons, tools and symbols that drove political and ideological change. But we hear much less about the miners themselves and their position in society. Wh...
In this paper we want to present a methodology for data integration based on the CIDOC CRM. Spatial data is included in the integration process which provides us on the one hand with the possibility to access the CRM structured data through an interactive map. On the other hand in the future GIS functionalities of spatial analysis can generate new...
Mining plays a very important role in the history of man. From the very beginning man's development has been accompanied by the extraction, processing and utilization of mineral substances. In the past, mining often exerted influence on economic, social, legal and cultural structures within society. The technological aspect must be emphasized as we...
The multidisciplinary research program HiMAT (History of Mining Activities in the Tyrol and Adjacent Areas) at the University of Innsbruck is dedicated to the research of mining in the Eastern Alps. The aim of this project is together with internationally renowned partners from european universities and the German Mining Museum in Bochum the invest...
