Features
Data Integration for Conservation Science
GCI received grant from the SeaverInstitute
Started in 2014
Development of data integration tools to facilitate sharing of data and analyses from scientific research on cultural heritage
• across objects/collections• with different input data• between studies/over time
Data Use
Find correlations/trends
Data Organization and Management• many institutions lack a uniform way of organizing data (minimize institutional knowledge req.)
• want to enhance ability to locate data, particularly that collected by different researchers• want to enable data mining
• dynamic data examination• link to public databases
and other resources• re-analysis or re-
interpretation given new information
Data Analysis and Interpretation
• researchers require access control based on object, user
type, time, etc.• institutional policies may
impact degree of access granted
Data Access and Sharing
NEEDS OF THE FIELD
Needs assessed during use case studies
Found that Data Organization and Management was biggest need • across objects/collections
• with different input data• between studies/over time

Data Access and Sharing
NEEDS OF THE FIELD
Implements basic data storage, query, and retrieval
Implements a data management platform that supports CIDOC CRM ontology
Implements controlled vocabularies to enhance searching capabilities
UI that supports workflows such as creating users and research projects, uploading data and project documents, and managing access rights
Allows discovery of analytical results across research projects
Prototype delivery: June 2017
