The review and development work described in this report focuses on the aspects of semantic linking and annotation particularly relevant to ARIADNE. Semantic linking within ARIADNE is considered within the spatial, temporal and subject dimensions. The subject dimension is considered in depth, starting with a review of linking tools considered relevant to ARIADNE followed by a discussion of the ARIADNE approach and the vocabulary mapping tools used within ARIADNE. The Getty AAT proved an appropriate vocabulary mapping hub that afforded a multilingual search capability in the ARIADNE Portal via the semantic enrichment of partner subject metadata with derived AAT concepts. A case study conducted an exploratory investigation of the semantic integration of extracts from archaeological datasets with information extracted via NLP across different languages. The investigation followed a broad theme relating to wooden material including shipwrecks, with a focus on types of wooden material, samples taken, wooden objects with dating from dendrochronological analysis, etc. The Demonstrator is available for general use. The user is shielded from the complexity of the underlying semantic framework (based on the CIDOC CRM and Getty AAT) by the Web application user interface. The Demonstrator highlights the potential for archaeological research that can interrogate grey literature reports in conjunction with datasets. Queries concern wooden objects (e.g. samples of beech wood keels), optionally from a given date range, with automatic expansion over hierarchies of wood types.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
