Wells SAA 2014 Public Data for Public Archaeology
Jul 08, 2015
Joshua J. Wells (Indiana University South Bend) presented “Public Data for Public Archaeology: Developing Linked Open Data, Open-Source GIS, and Sensitive Data Standards for the Digital Index of north American Archaeology” on behalf of his co-authors (Kansa, Kansa, Yerka, Noack Myers, DeMuth and Bissett) at the 79th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Austin, TX in April 2014. This presentation discusses the relationships between archaeological linked open data and the very same “Big Data” discussed by Anderson. Intersecting with law, research, education, and ethics, the perspectives of anthropology, informatics and cybernetics accommodate a unique look at the broad scope of implications of this type of research and work to prevent disuse, misuse and abuse as we navigate new human vs. technological problems.

#OpenGov Base of DINAA Data
DINAA Openness in Practice
we make we use
Who can use it: Anybody Who should use it: Everybody
Lowering Barriers to Access
*DINAA has no connection with Code for America
DINAA: #OpenScience #OpenGov & #DH Practices at Work

*Discussant did not pay me for this
Yes, Archaeology is Changing …
But Can We do This?
DINAA in Cultural Context 1
DINAA in Cultural Context 2
The Othering of Digital Subjects
Archaeology + LOD + Geospatial & Myths of Computer Revolution
informatics (n): the science of information in computing systems and how those systems create, structure, process, and communicate that information.
archaeology (n): the systematic and scientific study of the material record of past people
A SELECTIVE LIST OF ISSUES: algorithms, archival media (storage), authorship, bioinformatics, citation strategies, copyright/left, databases, data loggers, data types, desktop publishing, drones, file management, geographic information systems, geoinformatics, geophysical remote sensing, global positioning systems, legacy information, linked open data, internet, metadata, modeling, multimedia, network data storage (clouds), ontology, open source, operating system interoperability, proprietary, radiocarbon calibration software, satellite imagery, security, search engines, silos, social media outreach, uniform resource locator, visualization □
An Informatics Approach
social informatics (n): the body of systemic research about the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICTs); an interdisciplinary study of the design, uses, and consequences of ICTs that takes into account their interaction with institutional and cultural contexts (Kling et al. 2005)
• Analytical – how can we examine processes? • Critical – what’s really going on? • Normative – are there ways to improve?
Pros and Cons of Openness: Learning from Dick Cheney
The Heart of Openness
But some open is dangerous…
Place v. Space: Safeguard XY coords with big, complex data
An End to Fear: Big Data, LOD,
and Ethical Sharing of Place
