It has become almost standard practice that archaeological research on cemeteries is published in a similar fashion, specifically when primary sources supplement the data presented. Aside from the interpretative part, a catalog of all graves, buried individuals, and finds is published along with a map of the site and graphical depictions of the various entities. This is mostly structured within a four-level hierarchy beginning with the cemetery, the contained graves, the burials from each grave, and the finds associated with the burial. Today, even though many publications and their catalogs are based on or derived from digital data and published as open access, the outcome is often printed text such as a pdf file. Digital data that is properly structured and can be used out of the box for further analyses is rarely available. The presented article discusses how to digitize data on burials and how to provide them to the public in sustainable and comprehensible ways. Within previous and ongoing projects, the author and his team have developed a database system (OpenAtlas) that is used for the data acquisition of archaeological and anthropological research data that also maps information directly to the CIDOC CRM. Temporal and spatial fuzziness are dealt with following various concepts such as GeoJSON-T. For providing the data as Linked Open Data, the “linked places” format is used and an API provides a JSON-LD representation of each entity. Due to the “standard” approach implemented when publishing cemeteries, the data acquisition is mostly achieved by manually recording the published information in the database. In the following projects, data from several hundred Early Medieval Austrian and Czech burial sites with several thousand graves and finds have been digitized. To publicize the information, an online web application (https://thanados.net) has been developed to present and disseminate this data.

中世纪墓地的数字地图

以类似的方式发表关于墓地的考古研究几乎已成为标准做法，特别是当主要来源补充所提供的数据时。除了解释部分，所有坟墓、被埋葬的个人和发现的目录连同现场地图和各种实体的图形描述一起出版。这主要是在一个四级层次结构中构建的，从墓地开始，包含的坟墓，每个坟墓的墓葬，以及与墓葬相关的发现。今天，尽管许多出版物及其目录基于或衍生自数字数据并以开放获取的形式发布，但结果通常是印刷文本，例如 pdf 文件。很少有结构合理且可立即用于进一步分析的数字数据。本文讨论了如何将墓葬数据数字化，以及如何以可持续和可理解的方式向公众提供这些数据。在之前和正在进行的项目中，作者和他的团队开发了一个数据库系统 (OpenAtlas)，用于采集考古和人类学研究数据，并将信息直接映射到 CIDOC CRM。时空模糊性按照 GeoJSON-T 等各种概念进行处理。为了将数据作为链接开放数据提供，使用“链接地点”格式，API 提供每个实体的 JSON-LD 表示。由于发布墓地时采用的“标准”方法，数据获取主要是通过手动将发布的信息记录在数据库中来实现。在以下项目中，来自数百个早期中世纪奥地利和捷克墓地以及数千个坟墓和发现的数据已被数字化。为了公开这些信息，我们开发了一个在线网络应用程序 (https://thanados.net) 来展示和传播这些数据。
