XML Information Services in Archaeological Excavation

چکیده
The increasing economic viability of mobile devices has lead to a new breed of computational tools that can be applied to existing problems. Archaeological excavation is one application area to which mobile devices are being used and a range of tools that aid in this domain are being developed. However as archaeologists use a variety of these tools in recording data there becomes the need to store this data that is represented in numerous formats. In this paper an information store is proposed that is able to manage the multitude of data recorded at excavation in an XML format. The proposed store, xmldig also provides collaboration facilities so that data can be transformed into the format of any tool registered with the store.
