[...] From the website (the bold font is mine): The project will use an innovative new approach to data management in order to bring together the many separate sources of information that we have about ports in the Roman Mediterranean. The Semantic Web is a way of linking data by storing it as statements rather than in tables. Because the statements are composed of the same URIs that you use in the address bar of an internet browser, they can be accessed by other computers so different datasets can be connected together more easily. It also means that we can see all the information related to a given concept, whether it’s a thing, a property or a class of objects. [some interesting papers about this approach can be found here] [...]

Please let us know if any of the papers hit the web so we can enjoy.
Thanks for the post. Archaeogeeks are watching!

Exciting stuff! I might pinch some ideas and links for http://museum-api.pbwiki.com/ (which is really about re-usable and interoperable cultural heritage data, despite the name).

I’d echo Jo’s important point – Internet Archaeology is expensive! At nearly £40 per volume that’s beyond what most non-academic archaeologists (i.e. most archaeologists..) can afford.
