ARIADNE is hosting a Session on Preservation and Re-Use of Digital Archaeological Research Data with Open Archival Information Systems and this is followed by a Round Table which will allow for further discussion on this topic.

a) Session: "Preservation and Re-Use of Digital Archaeological Research Data with Open Archival Information Systems"

Chairs: Valentijn GILISSEN, The Netherlands | Reiner GÖLDNER, Germany | Hella HOLLANDER, The Netherlands | Maurice HEINRICH, Germany | Julian RICHARDS, UK | Felix SCHÄFER, Germany 

b) Round Table: "Long-term preservation and access: Where is an archive for my data?"

Organisers: Edeltraud ASPÖCK | Guntram GESER, Austria

Note: The round table is connected to the session, providing an opportunity for more discussion. The following questions will be addressed:

• How have repositories for archaeological data been developed, e.g. political, organizational and other drivers (exemplary cases from different European countries)?
• How is archaeological data different to data in the other humanities and hence has ‘special’ requirements?
• What options are there for long-term archiving of archaeological data if there is no appropriate national archive?

The Call for Papers, Posters and Apps is now open (until 12th June) at:http://www.chnt.at/ (See Call menu options for each of these items).
