Abstract

Research e-infrastructures, digital archives, and data services have become important pillars of scientific enterprise that in recent decades have become ever more collaborative, distributed, and data intensive. 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 and ARIADNEplus. 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 chapter introduces the ARIADNE programme and outlines it current and potential impact, setting the scene for the individual contributions from ARIADNE partners which make up the rest of the volume.
