ABSTRACT
Archaeological research results in the generation of large quantities of heterogeneous information managed by different projects using custom information systems. We will demonstrate a prototype Digital Library (DL) for integrating and managing archaeological data and providing services useful to various user communities ETANA--DL is a model--based, componentized, extensible, archaeological DL that manages complex information sources using the client--server paradigm of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI--PMH).

ETANA-DL: a digital library for integrated handling of heterogeneous archaeological data
JCDL '04: Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesArchaeologists have to deal with vast quantities of information, generated both in the field and laboratory. That information is heterogeneous in nature, and different projects have their own systems to store and use it. This adds to the challenges ...
ETANA-GIS: GIS for archaeological digital libraries
JCDL '06: Proceedings of the 6th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesWith the growing importance of mapping land, regions, and their related features, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become an ever important standard in fields where such detailed study of land features is required. Our archaeology digital ...
ETANA-ADD: an interactive tool for integrating archaeological DL collections
JCDL '06: Proceedings of the 6th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesETANA-DL is an archaeology digital library built based on the principles of Open Digital Libraries. A key challenge addressed in ETANA-DL is integration of new archaeological sites. To enable archaeologists to build OAI data providers for easy ...
