Archaeologists are familiar with 3D reconstructions for virtual reality as an enhancement to the museum-goer/tourist experience or for illustrative purposes. Architectural reconstructions themselves are academic. […]

Hi Mandy,

The IGCH records findspots to the nearest modern town. The coordinates on the map aren’t the precise findspot, but coordinates of the town provided by wikipedia or geonames, which is usually the […]

I am interested to learn more about how other participants are recording and sharing their data (if you are). Are you using an in-house schema or an off-the-shelf commercial or open-source database? I would like […]

The Portable Antiquties Scheme is one of the best examples of public archaeology out there. I suppose it is still controversial in some quarters, but the results cannot be denied–data for 800,000 objects that […]

I’m definitely interested in an augmented reality session, and I’m sure other THATCamp participants will be as well. I’m not currently using it, but this could be one possible approach to integrating 3D models […]

Hi Regina,

This should be theoretically possible, so the question is: has anyone actually done this yet regarding railroad symbols in particular?

No mention of rail, but this might be a useful read: […]

Another potential aspect of this project is to create an interface between the scholarly community and the archivists of the Virginia Heritage Project. The VHP is a great, if underutilized, resource, which could […]

Cool. I’m not a manuscript specialist by any means, but I’ll look forward to talking more with you about linked data next weekend. The same methods can apply across all facets of cultural heritage.

I think you’re right that linked data will play an integral role in the development of major networks of related objects. I don’t know the extent of linked data in http://papyri.info/ (a major portal for […]
