Intrasis is a digital documentations system designed by archaeologist at the Swedish National Heritage Board. It is built on the experience from more than 600 digital excavations and has up till now been used at approx 4000 excavations. The use of Intrasis is sold as software licenses and is today in use in several countries around Europe.
Intrasis is designed to handle and structure archaeological documentation and field data. By using Intrasis, all data related to one excavation, or site, becomes easy accessible and possible to combine. This increases the possibilities of interdisciplinary research when data from e.g. osteology or paleo-ecology can be combined with the archaeological information.
During this workshop we will show the basics of Intrasis and how it is used on an archaeological excavation - from field documentation with total station or GPS via registration onto analysis and publication. Everyone with interest in the software could attend and the duration will be approx 90 minutes. Limitation of attendees will be according to the room available.

The aim of this workshop will be the presentation of the Mnemea database system. Mnemea is a computer application based on relational database systems, whose main aim is the management of the archaeological data, both technical and administrative. This application has been developed on the base of the commercial software Filemaker© v10 and according to the main rules of standardization. The application provides friendly use and high capacity.
This software is designed to assist in the management of Archaeological museums, public agencies of heritage management or research teams specialized in archaeological surveying.
Mnemea software has been developed from several inter-related modules, that allows a better efficiency in data entry. Each of which handles different data types:
-
Administrative and spatial site management.
-
Management of fieldwork seasons in each site.
-
Powerful tool for stratigraphic units management.
-
Registration, classification and analysis of archaeological items and samples.
-
Management of archaeological items location and storage.
-
Graphic records (photography and plots).
-
Digital records management.
This computer application provides an high searching capacity and report generation. The software can work locally or remote, in client-server mode, and can hold up an elevated number of system entries, giving it a great networking capacity.
The session will run 60-90 minutes, focused to explain the features and powerful of this computer application and several study cases by the developers, in which the attendees can participate actively. Also, will be presented the use of this database system in the management of a regional museum by the museum director. Attendees do not need prerequisites other than minimal computer ability or minimal experience computer data management. The maximum number of participants will be limited to the size of the venue.

Author: Stephen Stead, Member of the CIDOC CRM-SIG, Paveprime Ltd, UK
This seminar is about the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM), a top-level ontology and ISO standard (ISO21127:2006) for the semantic integration of cultural information. It will explain the scope and objectives of the model. It will detail the construction principles used and the major concepts it defines.
In order to use the model for information integration, multiple data structures have to be mapped to the model, so that data contents can be transformed automatically into a CRM compatible form and be merged. Alternatively, the mappings can be used to transform queries against the CRM into queries against local data structures. The mapping is the critical step, in which the domain expert’s knowledge is needed. IT tools can automatically execute later steps. The mapping process also shows compatibility with the CRM.
The seminar will explain in practical examples and exercises how to map a data structure to the CIDOC CRM.
