Short survey on Web tools
We’re conducting a short survey about what types of web tools archaeologists currently use in their work (as well as tools they wish they could use!). If you have a spare 10 minutes or so, we would very much value your feedback about how you use web technologies in your work. The qualitative responses are […] Read MoreArchaeological Communities Online (Part 1)
Affiliation When you type in “archaeology” or “archeology” in Google search, you find a plethora of web sites and pages (25 million and counting) but who actually produces these? Which groups within the larger archaeological community produce online content? Do they overlap? Do they work together? Are they interlinked? Actually, a lot of these search […] Read MoreSharing Archaeological Data: Part 2 – Exploring the Needs
Last time, I introduced some of the background of the research project that is the subject of this blog. I pointed out the diversity of approaches to data sharing and asking whether such systems can meet the various needs of users across multiple disciplines. This question forms the basis of our 2-year study of user […] Read MoreTool Space
As we continue to digest the fruitful results of our kickoff workshop, one area of interest is which technologies our target audiences currently use and how that constructs their workflows. In one of our sessions we asked people to specifically enumerate the tools they use and so I thought it might be interesting to see […] Read MoreSharing Archaeological Data: Part 1 – The Value of User Needs Studies
Many systems for sharing archaeological content have come on line in recent years. These systems have made tremendous innovative strides in sharing content that would otherwise be difficult to access or use. Many are meeting specific needs on a project or sub-discipline level (for example, the extensive Çatalhöyük database, which provides a wealth of context-specific […] Read MoreOpen Context Testing Site
We’re just begining the monumental task of organizing and digesting the massive amount of documentation that came from the first Workshop in this project. During the workshop, I did a very quick demo of the revisions taking place on Open Context. The site testing the new and improved Open Context is available at: http://testing.opencontext.org/sets/ This […] Read MoreUser Experience Workshop, Jan 23-24, 2009
Our project launches with a 2-day workshop entitled Exploring User Needs around Digital Heritage, which will take place January 23-24, 2009 at the School of Information at UC Berkeley. The workshop is aimed at developing specific strategies and methods to enhance access to and usability of primary archaeological research content. It brings together 12 Community […] Read MoreAbout the Project
This blog provides a space for discussion of specific strategies and methods to enhance access to, and usability of, primary archaeological research content. It reports on the progress and findings of a new NEH-funded project led by the Alexandria Archive Institute and the ISD Program at the School of Information at UC Berkeley, exploring user […] Read More- 17 of 17
