Research infrastructure SweDigArch is a national distributed infrastructure for digital archaeology that provides expertise, services and resources for digitising archaeological data.
By utilising and making accessible the enormous knowledge potential that exists in archaeological documentation, natural science analysis results and cultural heritage collections, opportunities are created to implement complex data-driven analyses of these materials.
Swedigarch is a consortium led by Uppsala Uppsala University that inclues the universities of Umeå, Lund, Stockholm, Karlstad and Gothenburg, SciLifeLab, the Swedish National Historical Museums, and the Swedish National Heritage Board. The consortium combines its resources and utilises all the opportunities of digitisation to realise its goals. Linked data, open formats, joint vocabularies and the semantic web will increase the useability of Swedish archaeological data exponentially, not just for the different research fields, but also in an international context.
The national research infrastructure SEAD (Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database) is Swedigarch' main node at Umeå University.
