This is the first release of two latex scripts used to create detailed catalogues of archaeological artefacts, here pottery sherds, including photographs and descriptions. These two examples make one entry on one page. These scripts can be used with any latex editor. The resulting entry can be previewed in the two PDF files.

This is an interactive live modelling system which can automatically convert simple tab separated triples or JSON-LD (experimental) into graphical models using the mermaid library. General updates and improvements have been carried out, with the addition of an improved process of submitting data with a URL, moving from the old Graph model type to the new Flowchart type, adding options to link directly to SubGraphs. The compression of data within bookmark URLs has been updated and an option for the direct creation of png version of models has been added. Instructions: Several worked examples, including some simple instructions relating to how this system works are included in the interactive web site: dynamic modelling, with all of the related code presented in GitHub. {"references": ["Joseph Padfield, Orla Delaney, & Anna Amat Alberti.

Official repository of the Extended Matrix formal language The Extended Matrix (EM) is a scientific method and formal language for the Cultural Heritage domain. It is based on knowledge graph networks and grounded on FAIR and Open Science principles. EM formalises complex interpretative philological phenomena such as virtual reconstructive hypotheses in a transparent and robust manner; EM enables verifiability of results, reusability of data and collaborative interpretation. In this repo, you can find the official icons of the EM language the EM reference sheets (also in editable format) the EM palette to draw metadata as graphs of knowledge. All the details about the EM, including examples, documentation and community support can be found on the EM website the standardized source list Excel file to collect the first list of sources in libraries or on the field. the EMdb template collection (beta stage) EM allows experts involved in reconstructive processes to: organize the complexity of reasonings behind; map the sources employed; support the compatibility of reconstructive pipelines with other ontologies; declare the reliability of your final proposals; present your final results both as a graph-of-knowledge and a series of 3D models; EM also provides a suite of interoperable open-source software tools, namely the Extended Matrix Framework (EMF), that allows the creation, visualization, exploration and sharing of cultural heritage 3D models online. Examples are the EM-tools, 3DSC and EMviq software tools.

Extended Matrix 3D tools (EMTools) is a Python-based addon that brings the formal language Extended Matrix within the Blender 3D open-source software. It has been designed and developed by E. Demetrescu (CNR-ISPC, former ITABC) and is part of the Extended Matrix Framework (EMF). With EMtools users can import, manage, visualize, modify, represent and export all the information (geometries, data and paradata) concerning micro and macro scale contexts, single objects or collections of objects. The EMtools user manual is freely available. The original GitHub repository of the EM formal language can be found here Channel to join the community of users Telegram open-group For more details see the EM-tools page on the EM website Main features: * Integration of Extended Matrix language with Blender * Full support to create and visualize reconstruction hypotheses (EM reconstructive workflow) * Full support to annotate archaeological stratigraphy in 3D (EM archaeological workflow) * Full support to annotate masonry stratigraphy (EM architectonical survey workflow) * Export full dataset to ATON 3 (EMviq app) Changelog of EM-tools 1.3 full support of EM 1.3 (coloured nodes) new button to turn off and turn on just reconstructive elements “per epoch” (according to the removal of the “epoch”-“epoch rec” duality) an importer for the EM "source list" (.xlsx format) to enrich the standard information about the source (URLs, description, etc..) contained in the GraphML file.

gCube Catalogue (gCat) API is a library containing classes shared across gcat* components. gCube is an open-source software toolkit used for building and operating Hybrid Data Infrastructures enabling the dynamic deployment of Virtual Research Environments, such as the D4Science Infrastructure, by favouring the realisation of reuse-oriented policies. gCube has been used to successfully build and operate infrastructures and virtual research environments for application domains ranging from biodiversity to environmental data management and cultural heritage. gCube offers components supporting typical data management workflows including data access, curation, processing, and visualisation on a large set of data typologies ranging from primary biodiversity data to geospatial and tabular data. D4Science is a Hybrid Data Infrastructure combining over 500 software components and integrating data from more than 50 different data providers into a coherent and managed system of hardware, software, and data resources. The D4Science infrastructure drastically reduces the cost of ownership, maintenance, and operation thanks to the exploitation of gCube. The source code of this software version is available at: https://code-repo.d4science.org/gCubeSystem/gcat-api/releases/tag/v2.2.0
