Outline Introduction ETANA-DL Canned Demonstration Tools for Data Publication and Integration Discussion
Problems
Delay in publication of primary archaeological data
Lack of sustainable solutions to long-term preservation of valuable information
Lack of services useful to the archaeology community, including “traditional DL services”
Difficulty in understanding complex archaeological information systems
Difficulty in requirements elicitation for archaeological systems
Interoperability among heterogeneous archaeological systems
Solution – our approach
Applying and extending Digital Library (DL) techniques to solve the following problems: making primary data available, data preservation, and interoperability
Modeling archaeological information systems using 5S theory to better understand the domain and design the system and the supported services
Using componentized frameworks: eliciting requirements, providing useful services

Data and Service Providers
Data Providers – YOUR PROJECT possess metadata and share it (internally / externally) via well-defined OAI protocols (e.g., database servers)
Service Providers – ETANA-DL harvest data from Data Providers provide higher-level services to users
Why be an OAI Data Provider?
Speed up publication
Long-term preservation
Do not need to worry about providing services too
