STAGE 1 – Archiving Strategy Engaging with MEDIN • Identify a practical approach to the deposition of a range of marine digital datasets acquired for archaeological purposesaccording to MEDIN priorities • Develop a model of data flow which meets the archival requirements of the heritage sector
STAGE 1 – Archiving Strategy Engaging with MEDIN • Identify a practical approach to the deposition of a range of marine digital datasets acquired for archaeological purposes according to MEDIN priorities • Develop a model of data flow which meets the archival requirements of the heritage sector • DACs and data types • Primary and secondary archives – splitting archives – duplicating archives Archive scenario 1 - England Archive scenario 2 - Scotland
STAGE 2 – Data Preparation Assessment of archiving process, practicalities of data preparation and generation of metadata 39 datasets from 5 surveys Preparation according to the specific requirements of the different archive centres Geophysical/geotechnical datasets – 1.5 days per survey Diving/ROV datasets – 3 days per survey Conclusions The need for an archiving strategy to be incorporated/specified at the outset Dataset granularity, duplication of effort and metadata translation tools MEDIN Metadata Engaging with MEDIN
