Originally only focussing on CLARIN consortia, this initiative was expanded twice, first in 2019 to also feature the work of CLARIN Knowledge Centres (or K-centres), which offer knowledge and expertise in specific areas to researchers, educators, and developers alike, and second in 2021 to feature Service Providing Centres (or B-centres), which serve as the technical backbone of the CLARIN

On one hand, it shall serve as a manual for researchers who don't have access to a trusted or certified digital repository and will provide information on the measures to take for preserving and sustainably disseminating research data. On the other hand, the publication will provide an overview of the technical requirements for the implementation of a service for the long-term preservation of data, as well as non-technical necessities like workflows and policies. The need for archiving will be contextualised by presenting the driving principles of good scientific practice.

We will focus on the activities of the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ACDH-CH), a centre of expertise which now supports projects in a broad range of humanities disciplines. Part of ACDH-CH's services are concerned with research data preservation in the long-term repository ARCHE, which will be elaborated on here, as will a set of text-technological and semantic services. Furthermore, the crucial role of knowledge sharing measures for the increased adoption of DH methods is described and Austrian contributions and cooperation in the context of building European research infrastructures for the humanities are highlighted.

It first discusses the technical requirements for metadata management and contrasts them with the shortcomings of existing solutions. Then, it demonstrates how the ARCHE Suite addresses those problems. After one year of use, we can assert that the approach implemented in the ARCHE Suite is viable and provides important benefits. We aim to establish the ARCHE Suite as an open-source repository solution to be used also by other parties.

The technology behind the design principles and how LOD can be created and published is described to enable less-familiar researchers to understand the presented benefits and drawbacks of LOD. Wikidata is introduced as an open knowledge hub for the creation and dissemination of LOD. Different actors within archaeology have implemented LOD, and we present which challenges have been and are being addressed. A selection of projects showcases how Wikidata is being used by archaeologists to enrich and open their databases to the general public. With this paper, we aim to encourage the creation and re-use of LOD in archaeology, as we believe it offers an improvement on current data publishing practices.

The evaluation of software is a complex topic, since its field of application and development context has a considerable influence. In addition, there are many very different use cases, ranging from students wanting a quick solution for an exercise to project developers, who have to integrate a software package into an existing infrastructure for continuous operation. Although this discussion paper is based on equal contributions from archaeology and applied computer science, the focus is on evaluation criteria for software in the field of archaeology. A major goal of this paper is to alert future reviewers to the complexity of software evaluation. A software review should enable a professional archaeological audience to make a quick, critical and fair, to both the product and the developers assessment of the softw...

Graffiti makes people laugh, wonder, angry, think. These conflicting traits are all present along Vienna's Donaukanal (Eng. Danube Canal), a recreational hotspot-located in the city's heart-famous for its endless display of graffiti. The graffiti-focused heritage science project INDIGO aims to build the basis to systematically document, monitor, and analyse circa 13 km of Donaukanal graffiti in the next decade. The first part of this paper details INDIGO's goals and overarching methodological framework, simultaneously placing it into the broader landscape of graffiti research. The second part of the text concentrates on INDIGO's graffiti documentation activities. Given the project's aim to create a spatially, spectrally, and temporally accurate record of all possible mark-makings attached in (il)legal ways to the public urban surfaces of the Donaukanal, it seems appropriate to provide insights on the photographic plus image-based modelling activities that form the foundation of INDIGO's graffiti recording strategy. The text ends with some envisioned strategies to streamline image acquisition and process the anticipated hundreds of thousands of images.

Quite often they are regarded as technicians and their function in research projects reduced to those of "helpers", diminishing their contribution to the success of the undertaking. Nowadays some students of the humanities are trained in digital technologies to bridge the information gap between the different fields (Digital Humanities, DH). A similar situation can be found in Digital and Computational Archaeology, though the two disciplines only marginally influenced each other (Hugget 10.12759/hsr.37.2012.3.86-105). Some centers of Digital Archaeology work closely with DH departments and some DH specialists moved from archaeology to the broader field of DH, which shows that the job market in Digital Archaeology does not offer enough possibilities. The temporary nature of research related projects is another reason for an unstable job market in the field. To mitigate the effects of ...

In einigen Ländern gibt es bereits bestehende digitale Archive, die sich auf archäologische Daten spezialisiert haben, wie der Archaeology Data Service in York (GB), DANS in Den Haag (NL), the Digital Archaeological Record oder Open Context (US). Auch in Deutschland war eine solche Einrichtung geplant.<br> Doch benötigt man für die digitale Archivierung von archäologischen Forschungsdaten eine eigene Einrichtung? Und muss sie fachspezifisch sein? Diesen Fragen soll im Vortrag nachgegangen werden. Dabei soll ein Überblick der bestehenden digitalen Archivierungslandschaft gegeben, Beispiele aus der guten Praxis gezeigt, üblich verwendete Metadatenschemata präsentiert und rechtliche Details erläutert werden. Schlussendlich ...

As for today just over a thousand multi-sided seals are known and recorded in the Arachne-database of the DAI and the University of Cologne. Due to the large number of seals, applying unsupervised machine learning techniques may be a viable way to detect whether there exist specific patterns for combinations of different motifs on the seal faces.
Considering material, provenance, number of seal faces and represented single or combined motifs, it may be possible, by means of clustering algorithms, to discover new seal groups, which then can be analysed from an archaeological point of view. This allows to answer questions like the following: Are there only patterns for some seal groups or none at all? If patterns exist, do they allow to draw conclusions about the function of the seals? Do they bear a meaning not yet known to us? Does the place of origin play a role in the design of a seal?
The poster gives an overview of the data, points out issues while preparing the data, and displays first results from the clustering process.
