Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Ag
Comments of the Association of Research Libraries Concerning “Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Agencies across the Federal Government” Submitted to the Office of Science and Technology Policy, January 15, 2010 Summary Thank you for the opportunity to comment on “Public Access Policies for Science and Technology Funding Agencies Across the Federal Government.” Enhancing public access to federally funded research results has been and continues to be a priority for the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and its member libraries. We very much appreciate the interest and focus of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in stimulating a public discussion regarding the benefits of enhancing public access to federally funded research. ARL supports enhanced access to federally funded research resources because such policies are integrally tied to and support the mission of higher education and scholarship. ARL believes that extending public access policies to federally funded research to other science and technology agencies will be a central component of President Obama’s transparency and open Government initiative. We fully support such an extension. ARL is an association of 124 research libraries in North America. These libraries directly serve 4.2 million students and faculty and spend $1.3 billion annually on information resources of which 45% (in 2008) is spent of electronic resources. New investments in cyber and information infrastructure are critical components to advancing science and education and spurring innovation. Reports such as the National Academies report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, reflect the pressing need to ensure an environment that is conducive to enabling the United States to meet the global challenges of the 21st century. -

In 2011, the project members took part in excavations at East Chisenbury, recording and analysing material exposed by badgers burrowing into the Late Bronze Age midden, in the midst of the MoD’s estate on Salisbury Plain. e season in 2012 at Barrow Clump aims to identify the extent of the Anglo-Saxon cemetery and to excavate all the burials. is positive and inspiring example of the value of archaeology has recently been recognised at the British Archaeological Awards with a special award for ‘Project of special merit’. You will find two advertising flyers in this mailing. Please consider making a gi of member - ship to a friend or relative for birthday, Christmas or graduation. Details of subscription rates appear in the notices towards the end of this Newsletter. FROM OUR NEW PRESIDENT David A. Hinton Professor David Hinton starts his three-year term as our President in October, when Professor David Breeze steps down. To follow David Breeze into the RAI presidency is daunting; his easy manner, command of business and ability to find the right word at the right time are qualities that all members who have attended lectures, seminars and visits, or been on Council and committees, will have admired. Our affairs have been in very safe hands during a difficult three years. In the last newsletter, David thanked the various people who have helped him in that period, and I am glad to have such a strong team to support me in turn. ere will be another major change in officers; Patrick Ottaway has reached the end of his term of editorship, and has just seen his final volume, 168, of the Archaeological Journal through the press; he has brought in a steady stream of articles that have kept it in the forefront of research publication. -

Preservation Best Practices 3D Methods and Workflows: Photogrammetry Case Study (Repository Perspective)
Preservation Best Practices 3D Methods and Workflows: Photogrammetry Case Study (Repository Perspective) Kieron Niven Your Name Digital Archivist, Archaeology Data Service 13th August 2018 http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk 1 Same basic structure but: ● From the perspective of a repository: ○ What do we need to know about a photogrammetry project and the associated data ○ How this should be deposited, structured, archived ● Largely looking at Photogrammetry... ● Many of the points are equally applicable to other data types (laser scan, CT, etc.) http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk Planning Phase ● Engage with project at point of start up / data creation - advise on suitable formats and metadata ● Aim to exploit exports and tools for recording metadata. ● Not always possible (legacy projects). Relevant project documents, reports, methodology, process, etc. Should also be archived to describe as much as possible of the project design, creators, and intentions. ● Data should be linked to wider context through IDs, DOIs, references (external documents, creators/source of data, monument ids, museum ids, etc.) http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk Planning Phase • Planning phase is the most important phase • Both ‘Purpose’ and ‘Audience’ will influence what is recorded, how it’s recorded, and what are produced as final deliverables (e.g. LOD, opportunist/planned, subsequent file migrations, limited dissemination options). http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk Planning Phase ACCORD: Project documentation. Specific project aims and collection methodology http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk Planning Phase ACCORD project: Object-level and image documentation (multiple levels) If not specified during planning then unlikely (if not impossible) to get certain types and levels of metadata http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk Ingest Ingest is where it all begins (for us): • Specify ingest file formats (limit diversity and future migration, ease metadata capture) • Aim to ingest as much metadata and contextual info as possible. -

Introducing SEADDA. Saving European Archaeology from a Digital Dark Ages. Börner, Wolfgang; Kral-Börner, Christina, and Rohland, Hendrik (eds.), Monumental Computations: Digital Archaeology of Large Urban and Underground Infrastructures. Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Cultural Heritage and New Technologies, held in Vienna, Austria, November 2019. Heidelberg: Propylaeum. doi: 10.11588/propylaeum.747. Introduction Making archaeological data open and freely accessible must be a priority across Europe, but this cannot be achieved unless that data can be archived, migrated and disseminated within a persistent repository, in accordance with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. The depth of the problem for archaeology has become starkly apparent through the work of EU projects such as ARIADNE2 (Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Network- ing in Europe) (Aloia et al., 2017). Data often languishes in unreadable formats with inadequate metadata, and it is no exaggeration that Archaeology is facing a Digital Dark Age unless urgent action is taken. However, projects such as ARIADNE have also revealed the key to mitigating the crisis is to bring archaeologists together to share expertise and create resources that allow them to address the problem in the most appropriate way within their own countries (Wright and Richards, 2018). Important international standards exist, such as the OAIS (Open Archival Information System) standard for digital preservation, the Core Trust Seal for repository accreditation, discipline-based standards for file formats and metadata, such as those proposed in the Archaeology Data Service (ADS)/ Digital Antiquity Guides to Good Practice (Fig. -
