Archaeology and 3D technology is a special interest group for archaeologists and heritage professionals working with 3-dimensional data and spatial analysis technologies, including laser scanning, LiDAR and other high-precision survey technologies. The group is a forum for the discussion of techniques, new applications, methodologies and philosophies of archaeological recording with 3D technology and aims to provide an environment for creative thinking on the applications of these techniques. The forum looks to find ways to push forward the boundaries of what is possible with spatial technology and archaeology, building on the work of the initial work of the Heritage3D project, and will be a means of communication for practitioners across this field.
The forum will cover many aspects of this theme, but relevant topics include:
* Survey techniques and data capture
* Multi-format data integration and analysis
* Data curation and management
* Data extraction, visualization and presentation

Qualitative GIS is an emerging, mixed-method and interdisciplinary research approach that is attracting interest across a range of disciplines. The early literature has highlighted the innovative nature of the Qualitative GIS approach to combining ‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’ spatial data and encouraging multiple epistemological approaches to spatial research. The emerging body of Qualitative GIS research calls for further methodological, theoretical and empirical development of this research approach. [read more...]

Community collections, (like The Great War Archive www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/gwa), help to harness the collective resources of a wider community and spread the costs of creating and contributing to a collection across the education and public sectors. A community can also be harnessed to enrich an existing collection with tags or comments (like Galaxy Zoo, www.galaxyzoo.org). Oxford University would like to invite those interested in such projects to take part in a free RunCoCo workshop on 26 May (http://projects.oucs.ox.ac.uk/runcoco/events/index.html). [read more...]

CIDOC-CRM
I'm trying to get to grips with CIDOC-CRM for desribing 3D visualisations/recreations of lost architecture and the research sources on which the visualisations are based. I would be grateful for any links or comments relating to projects which have already used CIDOC-CRM in a similar ways, or any publications on this.
I'm still at the beginning of this project, so haven't done much research into this area yet - if people are interested I can post up my results as I go along...
