What is CHLOE

CHLOE is a linked open data environment. It brings together services that collect, normalise and publish knowledge about digital archaeology and heritage science: its literature, its digital resources, its places.

Linked by design

Every record is a web resource described with shared vocabularies and connected to the others.

Open and FAIR

Data are exposed by each service and shared with aggregators such as ArchaeoHub.

Built on Omeka S

A single open-source framework hosts all services, each with its own site and data model.

Bibliography of Digital Archaeology

The literature of digital archaeology, linked.

BiDiAr is an open-access bibliographic database of references on digital methods and tools in archaeology. It traces how digital practices have shaped archaeological research and heritage documentation.

Over 25,000 resources on digital methods and tools
Publications, authors and subjects connected in a knowledge graph
A citation network showing how works build on each other

Digital Heritage Landscaping platfOrm

Mapping the digital heritage landscape.

DHeLO maps and connects the digital resources that contribute to Cultural Heritage and Heritage Science research. It works as an observatory, aggregating metadata on projects, datasets, tools and interactive resources.

Every resource tied to the people and institutions behind it
Explore by period and theme, with places referenced through ASTRA

Ancient Spatial and Temporal Reference Aggregator

Ancient places, one reference each.

ASTRA is an aggregator of gazetteers that disambiguates place names. Each place has a single record gathering its toponyms, coordinates and authority links, supporting the automatic recognition of toponyms in archaeological literature.

Alternative toponyms gathered in one record
Reference coordinates, preferably from Pleiades
Links to GeoNames and Wikidata; periods to come

Funding and framework

The H2IOSC Project

H2IOSC (Humanities and Cultural Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud) is a pioneering project to create a collaborative cluster of European distributed research infrastructures involved in the humanities and cultural heritage sectors with operating nodes across Italy.

E-RIHS.it, coordinated by the CNR ISPC – Institute of Heritage Science, leads the collaboration between the research infrastructures of the H2IOSC Cluster.

Through the enhancement and federation of CLARIN-IT, DARIAH-IT, E-RIHS.it and OPERAS-IT, the four Italian nodes of the European Research Infrastructures committed in the Social Science and Humanities domain, H2IOSC will provide researchers, businesses, and citizens with an open and multidisciplinary environment that enables access to advanced tools for conducting innovative and computationally intensive research on complex digital data and objects.
