Çatalhöyük Living Archive

[Karl Grossner]

Hello all,

We invite you to have a look at the just completed pilot phase work for Çatalhöyük Living Archive, which includes an experimental web application with spatial-temporal visualization of browse and search results, the publication of a fair quantity of data as RDF, and a simple first pass API.

http://catalhoyuk.stanford.edu/

A screencast provides a tour of major functionality (http://vimeo.com/107441979), and some further details are found in the "About" section of the site.

The long term goal for the project is the re-organization and publication of 21+ years of Çatalhöyük data so it may be more easily re-interpreted, annotated, and integrated in cross-project studies.  The near-term goal of this phase was exploring possibilities and charting a future course. We are now looking into funding opportunities for a significant phase two with several partners in the US and UK. Comments, questions, and critiques are most welcome!

cheers,

Karl (on behalf of Ian Hodder, Elijah Meeks and Claudia Engel)
