Introduction
The Problem(s)• Subject: Archaeological data is particularly
difficult to aggregate across borders, as it must not only be multilingual, but also represent a wide range of research traditions
• Temporal concepts: Time in archaeology must also be geolocated (Bronze Age in Yorkshire is not the same as Bronze Age in Crete)

Mapping Concepts
• Original datasets not necessarily produced with aggregation, consolidation, reuse and cross-search in mind
• I say “potato”, you say “pomme de terre”, she says “maris piper” – multiple barriers to cross-searching subject metadata – language, punctuation, spelling, homonyms, synonyms, level of specificity
• Text-based search is limited by all of these
• Need to establish common meaning

concept is (more or less) the same…

Mapping Concepts
• Concepts from 27 vocabularies from 12 data partners were mapped to Getty AAT
• Mappings by individual partners ranging from a few to over 1600 concepts
• 6416 mappings total
• Most at similar level of generality
• Some partner vocabs more specialised than AAT but in a few cases AAT was more specialised

• H2020 Research and Innovation Action focused on using automated image recognition to identify archaeological pottery
• Needed to create multilingual digital comparative collections for the pottery types

Plate, Platter or Dish?

Had to agree a baseline on how aspects are recorded Created controlled vocabularies for use within the comparative database:
• Sherd type e.g. “rim”• Form e.g. “plate”• Decoration form e.g. “burnished”• Decoration colour e.g. “yellow”
• Fabric e.g. “North African 1”

Although the pottery terms were much more specialised than the subject terms for ARIADNE, mapping to the AAT was still a good solution
The Italian terms graffita, graffita a punta, graffita a stecca= “sgraffito” http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300266416
The Spanish term Cántaro= “jars” http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300195348
The German terms gebogener Henkel, Ohrförmiger Henkel= “handles” http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300266416

Often this was more complicated, with partners having differing perceptions on what to call something (e.g. “plate” versus “platter”)
In truth, this confusion may also be reflected by what has come out of the ground!
An advantage of using the AAT (SKOS thesaurus), is that ambiguity or difference in nomenclature can be resolved by a broader term or concept
