ARCH-ON: A new ontological framework to describe archaeological objects for Digital Humanities research
This paper presents the idea and preliminary results of the ARCH-ON (Archaeological Ontologies) pilot project. This project aims to lay the groundwork for the semantic description and classification of archaeological artefacts, enabling new approaches to the recording, study, international data harmonization and public accessibility of information regarding material culture from the past.
