The archaeological research community has been an early adopter of digital tools for data acquisition, organization, analysis, and presentation of research results of individual projects. However, the provision of e-infrastructure and services for data sharing, discovery, access, and (re)use have lagged behind. This situation is being addressed by ARIADNE, the Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking in Europe. This EU-funded network has developed an e-infrastructure that enables data providers to register and provide access to their resources (datasets, collections) through the ARIADNE data portal, facilitating discovery, access, and other services across the integrated resources. This article describes the current landscape of data repositories and services for archaeologists in Europe, and the issues that make interoperability between them difficult to realize. The results of the ARIADNE surveys on users\u2019 expectations and requirements are also presented. The main section of the article describes the architecture of the e-infrastructure, core services (data registration, discovery, and access), and various other extant or experimental services. The ongoing evaluation of the data integration and services is also discussed. Finally, the article summarizes lessons learned and outlines the prospects for the wider engagement of the archaeological research community in the sharing of data through ARIADNE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3064527","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,14]],"date-time":"2017-08-14T12:24:33Z","timestamp":1502713473000},"page":"1-27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["ARIADNE"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0069-7429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlo","family":"Meghini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche ISTI, Pisa, Italy"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Scopigno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche ISTI, Pisa, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3938-899X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julian","family":"Richards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of York, York, United Kingdom"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of York, York, United Kingdom"}]},{"given":"Guntram","family":"Geser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salzburg Research, Salzburg, Austria"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Cuy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Deutsches Arch\u00e4ologischen Institut, Berlin, Germany"}]},{"given":"Johan","family":"Fihn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swedish National Data Service, Gothenburg, Sweden"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4058-877X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno","family":"Fanini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche ITABC, Montelibretti, RM, Italy"}]},{"given":"Hella","family":"Hollander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Data Archiving and Networked Services, HW Den Haag The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Franco","family":"Niccolucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PIN, Polo Universitario Citt\u00e0 di Prato, Piazza Giovanni Ciardi"}]},{"given":"Achille","family":"Felicetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PIN, Polo Universitario Citt\u00e0 di Prato, Piazza Giovanni Ciardi"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Ronzino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PIN, Polo Universitario Citt\u00e0 di Prato, Piazza Giovanni Ciardi"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Nurra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut National de Recherches Arch\u00e9ologiques Pr\u00e9ventives, Paris, France"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Papatheodorou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IMIS, ATHENA Research Centre, Maroussi, Greece"}]},{"given":"Dimitris","family":"Gavrilis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IMIS, ATHENA Research Centre, Maroussi, Greece"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Theodoridou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computer Science, FORTH, Crete, Greece"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Doerr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computer Science, FORTH, Crete, Greece"}]},{"given":"Douglas","family":"Tudhope","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Wales, South Wales"}]},{"given":"Ceri","family":"Binding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Wales, South Wales"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Vlachidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Wales, South Wales"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-87599-4_30"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00799-015-0166-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5555\/958671.958678"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Workshop on Extending, Mapping, and Focusing the CRM (TPDL\u201915)","author":"Felicetti A.","unstructured":"A.
