Expanding and Sustaining an Open Future for the Past: Data Literacy and Community-Building in Digital Heritage
The expansion of archaeological data publishing
and archiving services, development of a data literacy program for the broader
public, and establishment of a consortium to sustain open access to
archaeological data in the future.
Digital data increasingly informs our understandings of the present
and the past. We seek funding to expand on our achievements in data sharing and
address critical and immediate needs to broaden fundamental data literacy
competencies. Our Challenge Grant plans include: (1) expanding our core
archaeological data publishing and curation services; (2) launching a Data
Literacy Program for broader public education; and (3) establishing a network
of museum, library, publisher, and other institutional sponsors to financially
sustain open access research data. By reinforcing and expanding collaborative
ties across institutions, we can help insure a more sustainable, open, and
inclusive historical and archaeological record for generations to come.
