acdh:hasDescription
The Digitizing Early Farming Cultures (DEFC) collection includes data gathered within the identically named project that ran between 2014 and 2017 at the former Institute for Oriental and European Archaeology (OREA) in close collaboration with the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW).

The project focused on data about Neolithic sites and finds from Greece and Anatolia, most resulting from projects of the Aegean Anatolian Prehistoric Phenomena (AAPP) research group (at OREA). The aim of the project was to enable research across the whole region and to overcome the issue of fragmentation of knowledge through differing terminology, chronologies, and typologies whilst complying with standards of data interoperability and data sharing. To achieve this, an online Django-based database was created – the DEFC App. The DEFC collection in ARCHE contains data of the DEFC app (an SQL database dump, 3D models with provenance metadata, CIDOC CRM mappings, maps and chronological tables, the project thesaurus and the bibliography) as well as DEFC project documentation (workflow description and reports).

The SQL database includes data from the following publications (data entry in 2016 and 2017 by M. Brzakovic, Th. Rinner, D. Bochatz, Sh. Schilk):

Additionally, 3D models of 90 representative sherds from the Schachermeyr pottery collection were 3D digitised with a Breuckmann smart Scan. The 3D models and their metadata were linked to the database and integrated into the DEFC homepage using 3DHOP (see the publication list).

Creating the DEFC app, the following data standards and tools were used:
Django framework was used to create the database itself, source code available at https://github.com/acdh-oeaw/defc-app
The database has been mapped to the CIDOC CRM, and the SPARQL query was made available on the DEFC app homepage. The mapping, documentation and exported RDFs are available in this collection.
The thesaurus was mapped to SKOS and is available in this collection and at https://vocabs.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/defc_thesaurus
Geolocations of archaeological sites were linked to Geonames (http://www.geonames.org)
Bibliographic units were entered in a Zotero database. The bibliography is available in this collection and at https://www.zotero.org/defc-orea-oeaw
Chronological periods were entered into the PeriodO gazetteer of period definitions (DEFC Collection available at http://n2t.net/ark:/99152/p0qv6m8).

The Digitizing Early Farming Cultures (DEFC) project was a project of the first generation of the Austrian go! digital projects (ACDH 2014/22). It received additional funding from the EU infrastructure project ARIADNE (FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2012-1-313193).

info This collection consists of resources created when mapping the DEFC database to the CIDOC CRM. The collection consists of mapping documentation, mapping models and created .ttl data files.
The folder Documentation_Schema includes detailed information about how the DEFC database was mapped to CIDOC CRM ontology; the version of CIDOC CRM used, which CIDOC CRM classes correspond to which database fields, and the reasons for the decisions taken during the mapping.
The folder R2RMLmodels includes the .ttl files of the mapping models created by the mapping tool KARMA. For each table of the DEFC database, a separate .ttl file was created including information on mapping the table fields to CIDOC CRM ontology.
The RDF folder consists of DEFC data structured according to the CIDOC CRM ontology. One .ttl file per table of the DEFC database was created.

The mapping of DEFC data to the CIDOC CRM is described in detail in the blog post `CIDOC CRM mapping´ by Seta Štuhec, Ksenia Zaytseva and Edeltraud Aspöck from October 2017. The blog post can be found in the folder `ProjectDocumentation\Blog_BuildingTheDEFC-App´.
