A Preliminary Analysis of ARIADNE’s Administrative Metadata

This article provides a preliminary analysis of the administrative metadata of the ARIADNE resources. ARIADNE, an acronym for Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking in Europe, is a European archaeological infrastructure that supports research. The presented analyses were performed accessing the ARIADNE Knowledge Base via its SPARQL Endpoint. The distribution of available resources per publishers’ country, of archival resources, of combinations of ARIADNE subjects and of combinations of agents (publishers, creators, contributors, owners, scientific responsibles) were estimated and commented, tracing an up-to-date profile of the infrastructure.
