The archeoViz Ecosystem for Online Visualisation and Presentation of Archaeological Data
Résumé
Since the 1960s, numerous attempts at building up standards and repositories were made in archaeology. All projects tended to collect as much data as possible and several independent databases existed with the same themes. The pitfalls of this centralised approach were addressed in the early 2000s with the development of the semantic web, ontologies, and linked open data technologies. archeoViz is designed along the same line. Rather than collecting all data in the same place as in the centralised approach, archeoViz users create a particular instance of archeoViz for each dataset to visualise and communicate. These instances can be deployed on the server of their choice (e.g., shinyapps.io, huma-num, or any other institutional or personal server). Nevertheless, archeoViz can be used in four ways.
