| Round Robins | Adam | - Archeology data management group meeting met and they had Dena Reed from Archeology, Art History, Jonathan Jarves, Adam, Jessica Trologin, Brian Roberts, Texas Archeologyal research lab
- They discussed challenges - mainly places to store it and in terms of archiving and dlong term publication strategies
- They came up with the list of the items they had and what they were creation
- They decided to write up a paper about what exactly they want to do - what the ADMG wants as outcomes
- Ladd was present at that meeting
- There was follow-up from Denee: we'll what kind of legs it has but everyone was interested and it was clear that they all share these issues about their data sets
- Other archaeologists are interested in seeing solutions once they've been tried
- Reflectance transformation imaging - allows you to take an object with surface relief with changing light source, and creates a single file where you can dynamically predisposition the light
- this creates original raw photos
- color corrected photos
- project file in complex directory structure
- increasing amount of computational photography
- 2 big categories of data from the meeting were giant amount of photographs that take their meaning from databases and GIS data
- Michael Thomas - and John Clarke (Ontopolis born-digital project)
- They still don't have a preservation plan
- Large and complex thing, database they don't know what to do with
- reference files "transactional data"
- 3d model that integrates original data and database
- Complex relational database
- Digital lab notebook will be happening in the spring where metadata can be added to the reflectance imaging images on the fly
- There was a group that is trying to make low-cost dome lights for this projects
- Highlight ITI - the software uses the highlight on the sphere to calculate the light which allows you to calculate the normal - so you can figure out other lighting options dynamically
- If Adam can procure a low-cost dome, there imaging activities would increase considerable
- Metadata extraction tools for the archeology digital images (outputting Dublin Core)
- D3
- working alpha-level prototype by the end of the semester
- possible demo or presentation by Adam's student
- can do a check on the Dublin Core that is being created - does it need to be Dublin Core - how are they getting descriptive elements by extracting info from the image itself
- Any of those faculty members from the management group would be willing
- Jessica Trologin for staff
- Michael Thomas is not faculty but
- John Clarke will be around in the Spring (Ontoplis project or the ICA digital projects - Joe Carter)
- Growing pains related to building capacity for creating more stuff but not matching that in terms of grasping cost projections for long term storage and access (I/O)
- tDAR pricing scheme core.tdar.org
- OpenContext platform manages data in a more complex fashion - California, publication platform stored in CDL
- Carolina Digital Library has some archaeological data in something that looks like DSpace
- But many of the repositories being used vary widely in terms of the cost associated with storage and access
- Heurist - the University of Sydney is being used by the Federated Archaeological Data Management System (Android-based collecting platforms)
- Poke Adam about contacting faculty
