• 3DHOP: 3D Heritage Online Presenter

  3DHOP (3D Heritage Online Presenter) is an open-source framework for the creation of interactive Web presentations of high-resolution 3D models, oriented to the Cultural Heritage field. 3DHOP target audience ranges from the museum curators with some IT experience to the experienced Web designers who want to embed 3D contents in their creations, from students in the CH field to small companies developing web applications for museum and CH institutions.

  3DHOP allows the creation of interactive visualization of 3D models directly inside a standard web page, just by adding some HTML and JavaScript components in the web page source code. The 3D scene and the user interaction can be easily configured using a simple “declarative programming” approach. By using a multi-resolution 3D model management 3DHOP is able to work with high-resolution 3D models (hundreds millions of triangles/points) with ease, also on low-bandwidth. 3DHOP does not need a specialized server, nor server-side computation: simply some space on a web server, and does work directly inside modern web browsers, no plug-ins or additional components are necessary.

• 3M - Mapping Memory Manager

  Mapping Memory Manager (3M) is a free online application developed by the ICS-FORTH team (Heraklion, Greece). 3M allows the matching of data in XML format with ontologies, in particular CIDOC CRM and its extensions, in order to bring these data to the Semantic Web. This mapping enables data to be exported in standard formats adapted to the Semantic Web, such as Turtle, RDFS and N-Triple. To achieve this goal, 3M uses two main languages:

  • XPath, for exploring an XML tree to retrieve, select and return data ;
  • X3ML, for using triplet templates to structure XML data file in output XML file in Turtle, RDFS or N-Triple format.

• ARIADNE Data Management Plan - Tool and Template

  ARIADNEplus offers an online Data Management Plan Tool which supports archaeological data managers and archaeologists who want (or are obliged to) make a data management plan for producing and sharing data that comply with the FAIR data principles (see: https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/ .

  A complication is that the requirements for a DMP, although similar in intention, vary across research funders and organisations. Therefore ARIADNEplus currently provides the tool with three DMP templates:

  • the Protocol for Archaeological Data Management, which is based on the widely recognised Science Europe guidance for research data management and the principle of “comply or explain”.
  • the ARIADNEplus DMP Researcher Template for Archaeological Datasets, developed from the Horizon 2020 requirements and tailored to community standards and practices:
  • the Horizon Europe Template for Archaeological Datasets which includes links to information and suggestions for answering the questions of the template; the related guide can also be consulted for the above protocol and template: https://training.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/dmp-guidance/

• ARIADNE Portal

  The ARIADNE Portal provides the main point of access for searching and browsing datasets and new services for processing and publishing archaeological datasets online.

  The Portal brings together existing archaeological research datasets from ARIADNE partners so that researchers can browse and access the various distributed datasets for use in their projects. The portal also provides a point of access for the new services developed by the project.

  The datasets that are registered in the ARIADNE catalogue are held by its partners and have been created through research, in excavations, in fieldwork, laboratory and other projects. In recent years archaeologists have been making increasing use of sophisticated digital equipment and techniques. During the course of a research project large volumes of data are created and collected, and become part of the research archive. ARIADNE aims to make these archives available through its portal for researchers to consult when starting new research.

• NeMO NeDiMAH Methods Ontology

  The NeDiMAH Methods Ontology (NeMO) is a comprehensive ontological model of scholarly practice in the arts and humanities, the development of which is undertaken through the ESF Research Network NeDiMAH.

  NeMO is a CIDOC CRM - compliant ontology which explicitly addresses the interplay of factors of agency (actors and goals), process (activities and methods) and resources (information resources, tools, concepts) manifest in the scholarly process. It builds on the results of extensive empirical studies and modelling of scholarly practices performed by the Digital Curation Unit in projects DARIAH and EHRI.

  NeMO incorporates existing relevant taxonomies of scholarly methods and tools, such as TaDIRAH, the arts-humanities.net and Oxford taxonomies of ICT methods, DHCommons, CCC-IULA-UPF and DiRT, through appropriate mappings of the concepts defined therein onto a semantic backbone of NeMO concepts. It thus enables combining documentary elements on scholarly practices of different perspectives and using different vocabularies.

  The development of NeMO is an on-going project that greatly benefits from the discussions in related workshops and meetings and the generous intellectual contributions of participants. Interested individuals are invited to continue participating, and also to contribute comments through this site.

• UDPipe: tool for lemmatization, morphological analysis, POS tagging and dependency parsing in multiple languages

  UDPipe is a software tool and service that analyzes (plain) text in about 100 different natural languages up to the dependency syntax level. Users specify the desired function (tokenization, segmentation, morphological analysis, lemmatization, POS tagging, dependency parsing), output format, and input text (file(s)). The resulting analysis can be used to index and search documents by lemmas instead of multiple word forms, extract syntactic dependencies with POS information to get relations between words or lemmas, or get grammatical information for every word in the text. While in many cases the results can be used directly (statistical analysis on part of speech, lemmas and words), in many other applications the results of UDPipe serve as intermediate input to more sophisticated analysis, such as information extraction, knowledge representation, term extraction etc. UDPipe software allow to train on any language for which a treebank is available in the CoNLL-U format, such as all the Universal Dependencies corpora.
