Completed European Projects
ARENA + ARENA2• A partnership between six EU
countries. Funded by the EU
Culture 2000 programme
• Goals:
• To make selected European
archaeological archives

Funded by EU Information Society
Technologies
• Goals:
• To explore archaeology and
underwater exploration,
photogrammetry, virtual

investigate archiving
strategies, and the
development of a Guide To
Good Practice on managing
marine archaeological data.

Completed European Projects
CARARE• A best practice network between
29 EU partners. Funded by EU ICT
Policy Support Programme
• Goals:
• To bring together heritage
organisations across Europe
to establish a service to
make digital content
discoverable within
Europeana
• The ADS used the service to
make over 17,000 of our
resources discoverable,
including the Grey Lit Library,
ERA, Image Bank and Virtual
Amarna

Current European Projects
LoCloud• A best practice network with 32
partners across 26 EU countries.
Funded by EU Competitiveness and
Innovation Framework
• Goals:
• Combine the methodology of
CARARE with cloud technology
to help smaller heritage
organisations make their
content discoverable within
Europeana
• ADS is the UK aggregator, and
will provide more of our own
metadata, and identify other
organisations who might
benefit

Current European Projects
NEARCH•A project with 14 partners across 10 EU
countries. Funded by the EU Culture
Programme
•Goals:
• To explore different dimensions
of public participation, and the
significance of archaeological
heritage within today’s Europe
• ADS is working with the digital

Current European Projects
ARIADNE• A project with 24 partners across 16
EU countries. Funded by the EU FP7
Infrastructures Programme
• Goals:
• To bring together and integrate
existing archaeological data
infrastructures, so researchers
can use the datasets and new
technologies as an integral
component of their work
• ADS is deputy coordinator, and
will assess good practice, work
with thesauri, semantic
annotation and linking, NLP, and
coordinating transnational access

Conclusions
Conclusions•EU projects are messy, and
everyone comes to them with
different expectations
•As much about learning to work
together as they are about getting
results
•Those who work together and get
good results are starting to gain a
significant advantage over those
who don’t (increasingly about
what you do, not who you know)
•When people share a pint, things
get done!
