1 IntroductionandObjectives

This document presents transnational access activities organised by the Digital Curation Unit,ATHENA R.C. (DCU) in 2015 and 2016, underWP8 of the project (ARIADNE Description ofWork(Versiondate:05-04-2014),p.31).Theseactivitiesbelongtoabroaderrangeofsuchactivities,inthecontext of the ARIADNE project, offering services and opportunities to archaeologists to enableaccesstotheresearchinfrastructure,includingonlineservices,trainingworkshops,accessvisitsandsummerschools.

2 ARIADNESummerSchools

2.1Year1(June29-July3,2015):Emergingdigitalpracticesinarchaeologicalresearch

The first summer schoolwasorganisedbyDCUbetween29 Juneand3 July2015,asanARIADNETransnational Networking Action, on the topic of “Emerging digital practices in archaeologicalresearch”. This thematic area included discussions on unlocking the possibilities for the effectivediscovery, integration, enrichment and reuse of archaeological data and resources, afforded bydigital tools and services such as the ARIADNE registry of archaeological datasets, controlledvocabulariesandmetadataschemas,andthroughmethodologicalknowledgeondigitalcurationandsemantic modeling of archaeological data. It also drew from the international experience ofparticipantson issuesasdiverseas thecapture, representationandreuseof fielddata, thedigitalcuration of archaeological information, the application of virtual archaeology, and the impact ofopen and community archaeology practices, as well as global, networked and cloud informationinfrastructures,ontheformationofthedigitalarchaeologicalrecord.

The main objective of this summer school was to enable researchers and professionals inarchaeology to engage with cutting edge and emerging digital practices within archaeologicalresearch,rangingfromnewmethodstocapture,organiseandcuratearchaeologicalresourcesanddata to new approaches of archaeological interpretation and dissemination, mediated by digitalinfrastructures.Thus,theformatfocusedonadetailedelaborationofasmallnumberofscenariosordigitally-enabledarchaeologicalresearchthatmakeuseofemergingdigitalinfrastructures,toolsandservices, put in the context of select methodological sources on digital archaeology, bringingtogether the research experiences of participants, and leveraging theARIADNE registry andotherinformation systems,aswell as semanticandontological approaches. It combined formal talksbyinvited speakers with structured discussion and breakout group activities. More particularly, theschool started with a foundations module introducing the core themes (‘Curating archaeologicalknowledge digitally: frompractice tomethod’),moved on to half-daymodules on selected topics(Semantic Modeling, LiDAR and Geophysical field data, Registries and Repository services, GIS,VirtualArchaeology,DigitalCuration)andconcludedwitha11/2dayExpertForumon‘Thefutureofdigital archaeological practice 2020-2025’. Among the invited speakers and participants weremembers of the ARIADNE Special Interest Group on archaeological digital research practices andmethods, collectively possessing significant expertise on digital archaeology, as well as visitingresearchersconductingarchaeologicalfieldworkinGreece.

2.2Year2(June13–17,2016):Digitalcurationofarchaeologicalknowledge

Followingthesuccessful launchandevaluationofthe2015ARIADNEsummerschoolon“Emerging

digital approaches in archaeological research”, the DCU hosted another summer school in 2016,

focusing this time on the “Digital curation of archaeological knowledge”, as an ARIADNE

TransnationalAccess(TNA)activity.Thissummerschool,whichtookplacebetween13and17June,

was also co-organised by the Faculty of Information (iSchool), University of Toronto and the

Departmentof Informatics,AthensUniversityofEconomicsandBusiness. Itdrewprimarilyon the

researchexperienceandinterestsofparticipantsonissuesasdiverseasdatamodelingandreuseof

pre-existing archaeological and historical evidence; its integration with scholarly and local

knowledge, its applicability for the construction of reliable digitalmodels and scientific data, the

impact of open and community archaeology practices, aswell as of global, networked and cloud

informationinfrastructures,ontheformationofthedigitalarchaeologicalrecord.

The main objective of the summer school was to enable researchers and professionals in the

knowledge domains of archaeology, information and archival science, museums and cultural

heritagemanagement toengagewith currentapproaches to thedigital curationof archaeological

knowledge, ranging frommethodstorepresent,contextualiseandcuratearchaeological resources

anddata,tonewapproachestoarchaeologicalinterpretationanddissemination,mediatedbydigital

infrastructures.Theformatofthesummerschoolincludedbothformallectureswiththeelaboration

of individual case studies based on participant projects, as well as structured discussion and

breakout group activities. Similar to the 2015 Summer School, it consisted of two modules: a

workshop on “Digital approaches to archaeological knowledge curation” and an Expert Forumon

‘The future of archaeological knowledge curation 2021-2026’. The firstmodulewas composed by

twotracks:half-daymodulesonselectedtopics, intandemwiththeelaborationandmentoringof

3EvaluationandresultsThe participants of the two Summer Schools were asked to fill in the online “ResearchInfrastructures: User group questionnaire” (https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/RIsurveyUSERS)as well as the ARIADNE “TNA Summary - User Feedback Report” (http://www.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/Transnational-Access/User-feedback-report). Both questionnaires provided uswithinformationabouttheirprofessionalstatusandacademicbackground,theirprojectsaswellaswithevaluationreportsandcommentsabouttheservicesprovided.

Overall, 13 participants attended the two Summer Schools, six in 2015 and seven in 2016. Asexpected most participants are European nationals, while in the second Summer School non-European nationals also participated, namely from the USA and Brazil. Most of the EuropeannationalswerefromItalyandtherestfromvariousEuropeancountries(seeFig.1).
