TALOS participation in the 53rd CAA International Conference in Vienna
TALOS researchers Melissa Bergoffen and Antonia Lourentzaki participated in the 53rd CAA International Conference in Vienna, presenting their work on the application of semantic data methods in archaeology. Bergoffen explored how ontoterminologies can better structure complex iconographic metadata, using the Bronze Age “Ladies in Blue” fresco as a case study. Lourentzaki detailed the development of a FAIR Linked Open Data framework and domain-specific ontoterminology to conceptualize and query the complex spatial and artefactual record of Göbekli Tepe.
