In the past decade heterogeneous datasets of the West-Central European Neolithic have been generated in the context of several research projects. A key challenge is the integration of these complex project-specific data models with one-dimensional data tables of a Web GIS. It will suggest potential ways to join archaeological data and to combine relational data structures providing spatial access on the data to enable further analysis. This scenario entails multiple problems that are prototypical and still lack a general solution. It proposes a modular data concept that is transferable to similar projects. At the same time it reviews and evaluates qualified frameworks that allow for implementing an individually tailored data model into an archaeological information system with GIS capabilities. » weiterlesen» einklappen
