[Air-L] New on ICT Guides

[Craig Bellamy]

Dear AOIR,

ICT Guides is a service offered by the Centre for eResearch at King's
College in London (CeRch). It seeks to promote the use of ICTs in
research and learning through cataloging digital arts and humanities
projects along with the tools and methods they employed.

A number of new projects have been added to ICT Guides:

Highlight: Semantic Tools for Archaeological Resources

"Increasingly within archaeology, the Web is used for dissemination of 
datasets. This contributes to the growing amount of information on the 
‘deep web’, which a recent Bright Planet study estimated to be 500 times 
larger than the ‘surface web’. However Google and other web search 
engines are ill equipped to retrieve information from the richly 
structured databases that are key resources for humanities scholars. 
Important archaeological results and reports are also appearing as grey 
literature, before or instead of traditional publication. Typically 
these are not indexed or made available for searching other than as 
ordinary web documents. It is difficult using conventional search 
engines to link these to datasets or indeed to search them using 
terminology other than that employed by the authors".

Suggestions for new projects most welcome.
