Markus Gylling and the levels of semantic enrichment
Gloves off in the #Swedigarch workshop! Marcus Smith and Markus Gylling on the implementation of the #LinkedArt data model to build a knowledge graph for Swedish #HeritageData
Erik Lernestål and one of the Vendel helmets in 3D
Rosemary Hanson
Erik Lernestål and Rosemary Hanson on how the Swedish History Museums work with 3D digitalisation, importance of common work processes. Difficult to find perfect solution for both preservation, accessibility, and information.

Eva Vedin
Eva Vedin, Swedish History Museums, on the ongoing work with vocabularies and links to authorities in other sources like Wikidata. There are 21 different places named "Lund" in the database that need to be differentiated. #Swedigarch
Sven Kalmring in front of screen showing the 3D visualisation of the marine remains
Sven Kalmring, National History Museum, on the work to enrich the Birka collection data and use it and GIS Data to generate 3D visualisations both above and below the water level around the old harbour. #Swedigarch
Fredrik Gunnarsson presenting SOCH for the workshop attendees
Full day workshop for #Swedigarch, national research infrastructure for #DigitalArchaeology. Meetup to discuss how we can ensure interoperability between museum, university and agency data resources through the SOCH aggregator.
Audience and the panel participants
Final panel on #Swedigarch conference: How can the different sectors contribute to Open #DigitalArchaeology?
From national and local agencies to contract archaeology to Academia.

Green: Synthesis of radiocarbon dates need to take into consideration sampling methods. E.g. Roman period sites in Britain were mainly dated through artefact typologies. Distribution plots can look like a regression in population rather than opposite.

Time for #Swedigarch conference on #DigitalArchaeology and #OpenScience in Sweden.
Baroque Hall at the National History Museum filled to capacity.
So fun to mingle for a day with archeologists from all over Sweden in Uppsala. So many similarities and similar challenges in our subjects
I'm in the steering group of one of Sweden's largest infrastructures in social science
#swedigarch Swedish national infrastructure for digital archaeology
#SweDigArch will contribute to the SDGs with archaeological and palaeoecological data and knowledge for landscape-based systems for solutions
Red dots all the findings in Sweden from diverse data sets and organizations
Very exciting!
