Image-Based 3D-Documentation: Next level of Data Storage in Digital Archaeology
Abstract
Digital Archaeology and Image-Based 3D-Documentation have become widespread in archaeological everyday practice. Despite its relevance, a common ground for storing and archiving the massive datasets produced by 3D-Documentation is still missing: What needs to be archived? Who needs access to data? What are current solutions? What are long-term challenges?
These pressing questions arose during the EAA annual meeting 2019 in Bern and need urgently to be discussed in more detail.
This round table will tackle these challenges in an interdisciplinary discussion with participants not only from the archaeological field, but also from digital archives and other institutions dealing with long-term data storage. The aim is to clarify the following points:
- the needs for the storage of 3D-related data like reproducibility and compatibility
- the challenges of archiving (data amount, data format, access, digital long-term storage)
- current available solutions focusing on 3D-data
Part of the discussion will draw from a survey on the needs and current solutions in European archaeology. The survey will be conducted in the first half of the year 2020.
The planned outcome of this interdisciplinary round table is a joint publication on these 3 topics. We invite researchers of all disciplines that are working with Imaged-Based 3D-Documentation, who have encountered one of these topics and are willing to contribute their experience and knowledge to take 3D-Documentation to the next level.
