GEON

The Digital Archeological Record project (tDAR) Project is a collaboration among a team of archaeologists and computer scientists at the Arizona State University with the goal of designing and developing a digital information infrastructure for systematically collected archaeological data.

tDAR has been a technology collaborator of GEON. The project is developing a portal based, initially on the concepts developed in the GEON portal, including the ontology-enabled data integration technologies.
Using the GEON portal code base as a starting point has allowed tDAR to become operational much more quickly, allowing the project to focus more quickly on specific integration issues in the archaeology domain.  Though the research domains are different (earth science vs. archaeology), the underlying technologies are applicable in both fields.

A separate code repository had been established to enable concurrent development of software between tDAR and GEON.

tDAR is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under grant #0624341.
