FAIRification Tools und LOD-Projekte aus der Archäoinformatik und den Geowissenschaften

Abstract

Innovative approaches to the FAIRification and interlinking of research data promote sustainable use and interoperability in archaeology and geosciences. Linked Open Data (LOD) and open-source tools such as the SPARQL Unicorn Research Toolkit enable semantic linking and querying of research data, while the fuzzy-sl ontology models and clarifies fuzziness and wobbliness in geodata. These methods support the creation of transparent and reusable datasets that can be linked internationally as well as interdisciplinary and integrated into research networks. A particular focus lies on the inclusion of citizen science to contribute to knowledge generation through standardised and quality-assured data. The connection of semantic data in community-driven data hubs like Wikidata creates new opportunities for collaborative and interdisciplinary analyses. Sustainability, the alignment of community standards, and ensuring data quality remain central challenges, while automated validation methods and the further development of FAIRification tools have the potential to strengthen open science.
