Condividere la conoscenza di un progetto: la knowledge base del SITAR
Arjuna Cecchetti, Federica Lamonaca
Abstract
On the occasion of the 2013 edition of ArcheoFOSS, the SITAR Project presented the first steps towards the setup of a Knowledge Base dedicated to the Archaeological Information System of Rome. After one year, it is interesting to present a summary of the progress of this platform. The SITAR Knowledge Base was created to promote collaboration among different partners and to facilitate the dialogue and the interaction of the users with the Information System. The project itself intends to be a meeting-point between the Institution, that has the objective to preserve, organize and represent archaeological data, and all the parties that need to use and reuse them. The dialogue is well-supported also by a wiki environment, a SITAR-glossary with official definitions of the specific terms of the project and with an open wiki for the contributions of specialized users. This paper intends to explore the perspectives of the SITAR Knowledge Base, as a system for open content management and as a dissemination instrument for archaeological and technical knowledge, creating constant two-way traffic for the construction of new archaeological knowledge while, at the same time, disclosing to the public the dataset represented through the webGIS encountering the communities that live in the city in a perspective of Public Archaeology.

Abstract
The III municipality (formerly the IV) of Rome, ever since the 1970’s, has been archaeologically documented in a particularly intensive way by the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR) in collaboration with a range of Italian and foreign scholars and institutes. This has resulted in an invaluable corpus of analogue and digital data archived by the SSBAR that is now being brought together in a single spatial database on protohistoric and Roman to medieval settlement and land use features, called SITAR. In this paper the contributors discuss the genesis, workings and actual state of SITAR, highlighting the cases of the Roman villa complex of Vigna Chiari or ‘di Faonte’ and the protohistoric settlements of Fidenae and Crustumerium, the latter serving as an example of collaboration between SSBAR and a foreign institute, in this particular case the Groningen Institute of Archaeology of the University of Groningen.
Wiki e dintorni, riflessioni sull’utilizzo del Web 2.0 per la gestione e la diffusione dei dati archeologici
Abstract
The subject of this poster is a survey in the territories of Web 2.0 and an excursion through the historical and archaeological data, the platforms of social networks and the cultural containers based on the Wiki philosophy. The route starts from the description of the most used web platforms, social networks as Facebook and Academia, and wiki containers as Wikipedia, passing through the experience of scientific teams that use the web to managing and disseminating the archaeological data, and the observation of the main features of each container. This preliminary survey explores the need for some reflections: on the quality and coherence of datasets, on the quality and traceability of sources, and on the needs of the scientific community and the web users.
