2 Sushi? Fish&Chips? Or Pizza? BA in Ethnology&Archaeology (Keio University) MA in Heritage Management (The University of Birmingham) MSc in Archaeological Computing (The University of York) IT Project Assistant (Wessex Archaeology) Volunteer (Museum of Archaeology, Soton, Leeds Industrial Museum) Part-time Researcher (The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (MOMAT)) CHIRON Fellow (Vast-Lab, PIN, The University of Florence) Yung & Yang: East & West Melting Pot without PhD

3 Areas of Research 1. JAD2 Survey and ACT Archaeology 2. The Museum of Imperial Forums, Rome (EPOCH) 3. CIDOC-CRM integration & multilingual thesauri

4 1. 1 JAD2 Survey JAD2 Survey (Digital Data survey for Japanese Archaeology) Motivation Rapid development of arch computing, International exchange of data (World Archaeology), the need for standards; but it is uncertain what data is created, manipulated, re-used, and preserved, how much? where? how? by whom? Keypoints Up-to-date Statistics Archaeological Data, the practice of ICT, the expectations/needs of archaeologists etc Salvage excavations (93% of all exc per year. 637 Million Euro) Digital and Non-Digital Resources PART I On-line Data (Web Evaluation) PART II Off-line Data (Questionnaires Individuals/Organisations) Basemap for standard, documentation, policy and practice

5 For example, Archive/Database size (Organisation)

6 30 25 Create these n=29 n=190 In digital format n=29 n= Academic Theses Excavation Reports Indeces of Bibliography Photos/Slides Movies Plans Illustrations Maps Aerial Photos Teaching Materials Scientific Data Designated Sites Data Designated Artifacts Data Non-designated Sites Data Non-designated Artifacts Data Info of Current Excavation Museum Collections Data Sites/artifacts Distribution Map Indeces of Excavations Event Information Oraganizational Data Staff Information Data Creation (and in Digital Format) (Individual)

7 Data Analysis 5% Image Processing 18% DTP 16% Database 14% GIS 5% CAD 11% What ICT skills/knowledge would you ask for Information Officer? (Organisation) What ICT skills/knowledge would you like to have? (Individual)

8 Many Other Scary Questions For Individuals What web contents have you used? What you would like to see? What prevent you from using digital data? What do you think the (dis-)advantages of digital data? Have you bought data? Do you intend to? What backup media do you use? etc For Organisations Do you have information officers? Do you have IT training? How do you provide information? What software do you use? How many resources have you digitised? etc

9 1.2 ACT Archaeology A Grassroot Group Proposal for Re-run of JAD2 Survey (to Arch Org) caz of bad response rate + more than just a survey Propaganda Campaign for Archaeological Computing caz JAD2 is a material for the development of the subject Supported by International Petition (Pressure from abroad, powerful proposal) Proactive political action for better archaeology & ICT

10 Achivements *Trilingual website (JP, EN, IT) *Publication (1 Published, 4 Forthcoming, 1 writing) *5 Presentations (4 countries) *Creation of a loosely connected network of people working in the related domain (ACT Community website) *25 signatures from Japan, UK, Italy, Greece, Spain, USA, Taiwan, HongKong/China, Malaysia, Mexico and expanding *Introduced in a nation-wide newspaper (3.8 Million copies sold all over Japan) It s Not Me! Problem?? YES BIG ONE.

11 2. Museo dei Fori Imperiali Trajan s markets Roman street Medieval houses and tower Nerva s forum Augustus forum Trajan s forum Peace Forum (Vespasianus) Caesar s forum

12 Film Production 20 min video For a wide range of target visitors (multi-lingual setting) No many texts Main theme: Summary of Museum Architectonic re-composition Synchronic/diachronic development of 5 Forums Advice from international heritage management point of view Provide strategy and scenario Design of mascot cartoon Design of promotional flyer and poster

13 SWOT analysis Strength Various range of materials (videos, photos, plans, drawings, paintings, satellite images, model etc ) Opportunity 3D makes it spectacular (depending on time) Weakness Use of mascot story DVD sales at museum shop Vast-Lab is costeffective Threat Talk with each other Resource Sharing USP (Unique Selling Point) Please come to see me! Scenario

14 3. CIDOC-CRM integration & thesauri A Project (Proposal for 3D Image Documentation of Cultural Heritage) AMA (Archive Mapper for Archaeology) project (EPOCH)

15 My part/interest (Still just ideas) Show the potentials of Semantic Web (CIDOC-CRM ontology, metadata, image annotation) in CH Development of multilingual thesaurus for practical use of Semantic Web in CH

16 Semantic Web HTML is not good enough to use data (find, exchange, automate, customize..etc) Network of semantics by RDF (Resource Description Framework) CIDOC-CRM: (How to model the CH documentation?) ISO 21127:2006: A ontology standard for the exchange of CH information Describe structure & relationships of info CHIRON Workshop ACT Archaeology Logo Subject Participated in was produced by Go Sugimoto Predicate Object Human/computer can understand data

17 How to represent the knowledge of Crimea Conference? In particular, how to describe this photograph of a museum collection?

18 CIDOC-CRM ontology P138 Represents E38 Image P46 Forms part of But how to model a part of the image? How to annotate Churchill in the image?

19 For example, RDF Image Annotator <image:haspart> <image:rectangle rdf:id="p2"> <image:points>229, ,422</image:points> <dc:title>zone2</dc:title> <dc:description>central chair</dc:description> <image:depicts rdf:parsetype="resource"> <dc:description>roosebelt from USA</dc:description> </image:depicts> </image:rectangle> </image:haspart> Format: Exif extension? XMP (Adobe)? Ontology: MPEG 7?

20 Will be something like this Semantic-based Map Content-based 3D Acquisition (Pattern Recognition) Technology Annotation (Metadata) Embed/Se parated Map More Powerful Image Retrieval. Potential for 3D

21 Problems of Archaeological terminologies and standards Ontologies like CIDOC-CRM need thesauri/classifications/ terminologies in order to compare/use various data Not many archaeological thesauri widely used (different from art history/museum thesauri) Often localised and mono-lingual

22 Solution? If thesauri/classification includes graphical elements, for example, Multi-lingual Graphical Thesauri

23 The same terms can be found in different domain thesauri ICONCLASS Art & Architecture Thesaurus

24 Mapping Again! Interdisciplinary Semantic Network Map Maybe new data & relationship found

25 Not Problems but Potentials CIDOC-CRM deals with Cultural Heritage information (Wide range of information/resources) Domain: Library, archive, museum, history, archaeology, ethnology, literature, language, economics etc Types (Digital/Non-Digital): (un-) structured texts, drawings, illustrations, photos, scientific data, GIS, 3D, movies, sounds websites etc Difficult to integrate, but more possibilities Discovery of New Data/New Relationships/Interpretations Helps: Scientific Research and Education etc
