Title:
Linked Open Archaeology from France: ArkeoGIS, ArkeOPEN, OpenArchaeo and the MASA+ consortium
Content:
This paper will emphasise on the ArkeoGIS online WebGIS and its open version ArkeOPEN and will also present the consortium of French Archaeologists and Archivists MASA+, insisting on the possibilities offered by OpenArchaeo and Nakala in order to link existing projects.
As in many countries, databases about hillforts -and oppida- began to exist with punch cards and have been implemented and rewritten several times since then. Nowadays, several tools offer access to basic data (where/when/what) but also to more detailed data (pictures, plans but also typologies). Semantic web tools help to link these different online solutions, and to create powerful queries online. The paper will present some of those tools and extend the discussion to other problems.
So far, France has an excellent infrastructure (Huma-Num IR*) that hosts those data and make it possible to share without the risk of losing the work and archives at the end of the founded project. All presented tools are FAIR if not Open and sustainable for the near future, interoperating with other European projects is already possible.
