Implementing a FAIR Information System for Archaeology-Related Interdisciplinary Research

Within the DFG funded, archaeology-focused project Collaborative Research Center 1266 (Scales of Transformation) an information system is implemented including roles, processes, hardware and software infrastructure with the goal to collect data and meta data available, integrate the data for (re)presentation, exploration as well as analysis, and therefore support a project-wide data-driven synthesis. Several challenges arise from the diversity of people coming together and the heterogeneous data environment present over all the disciplines involved. This poster illustrates these challenges, what it takes to bridge the gaps between differing perspectives and briefly proposes approaches involved to successfully address them.
