Europeana GIS services and archaeology/architecture site data

The Europeana GIS services and archaeology/architecture site data report evaluates the use of the Europeana GIS services for the archaeology/architecture site data sector. These consist of the geo-parsing tool, gazetteer tool, map annotation tool and web mapping tool. The report also looks at the potential for enriching the place-name services in Europeana through monument inventory where geographic data is included.

Sustainability of Digital Curation and Access to Heritage Data

A Review and Analysis of the Sustainability of Digital Curation and Access to Heritage Data has been researched and written by ADS as it is an important objective of CARARE to define a sustainable business model and to achieve a viable and extensible aggregation service after the end of the project funding. This report provides an overview of a broad range of funding models currently adopted by organisations with a role in generating, curating and disseminating digital cultural heritage.
