Resource Discovery and Curation

of Complex and Interactive Digital Datasets

This 10,000 word chapter submitted at the invitation of the editors to book in the prestigious Ashgate series ‘Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities’. This volume concentrated on the use of ICT methods in the visualisation of cultural heritage. My, sole authored, chapter looks specifically at a little recognised (at that time) problem of creating resource discovery and technical metadata for complex and interactive digital datasets. This work built on my on PhD research as well as research undertaken at the Archaeology Data Service focussing on these key technical issues. The research is interdisciplinary in nature, covering archaeology, the humanities generally as well as computer science and informatics. One book reviewer (Catherine Moriarty, Brighton University) has commented “the impact of ICT is one that has far-ranging ramifications on the formation of knowledge and the practices of visual culture research. This book will play an important role in provoking thought about these issues”. I have also delivered well received versions of this chapter as part of conference presentations including for the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in (ISPRS) 2011 and Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) 2012.
