A Framework for Supporting the Workflow for Archaeo-related Sciences: Managing, Synchronizing and Analyzing Data

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the challenges of the workflow in archaeo-related disciplines. We extract the main parts of the workflow and consider them in our solution for an eScience service in this domain. First, we describe the dynamic framework xBook to be used for different archaeo-related databases. Afterwards, we show the Synchronization supporting the collaboration with colleagues and sharing data. Finally, we describe the Analysis Tool, that allows analyses to be executed directly inside the framework. Concluding, we show a sample analysis in OssoBook, a zooarchaeological database.
