AHRC-EPSRC-JISC eScience research grants scheme: AIM: To allow archaeologists to discover, share and analyse datasets and legacy publications which have hitherto been very difficult to integrate into existing digital frameworks BUILDS UPON: Common Information Environment Enhanced Geospatial browser PARTNERS: Natural Language Processing Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield Joint Information Systems Committee

Datasets include: –National Monuments Records (Scotland, Wales, England) –Excavation Index (EH) –Archive Holdings –Local Authority Historic Environment Records Thesauri include: –Thesaurus of Monuments Types (TMT) –Thesaurus of Object Types –MIDAS Period list –UK Government list of administrative areas, County, District, Parish (CDP) – Not MIDAS

Oracle RDBMS MIDAS XML Record Information Extraction RDF Resource Knowledge triple store XML Docs of Thesaurus Query User Interface Information Extraction When, Where, What ontologies as entries to faceted index Input

“WHAT” Records that have no subject information Records that use terms not found in TMT, so these records cannot be indexed (6,442 unique terms) Records (1,001,407) 19,269 records (2%) Records (1,001,407) 101,507 records (10.1%)
12
“WHEN” Records that have no temporal information Records that use period terms not found in MIDAS so these records cannot be indexed (457 types of irresolvable dates) Records (1,001,407) 292,793 records (29.2%) Records (1,001,407) 114,505 (11.4%) 1066, 1001-1100,11 th Centuary, C11, 11C, Eleventh Century

“WHERE” Records that have no spatial information Records that use terms not found in CDP, so these records cannot be indexed. Records (1,001,407) 11,126(1.1%) Records (1,001,407) 245,601 records (24.5%)

XML tagging of semantic content CIDOC: CRM

Information Extraction in Archaeotools What (subject) Where (place name) When (temporal info) Grid reference (easting and northing) Report title Report creator Report publisher Report publisher contact Report publication date Event date Bibliography & references
22
Example annotations in highlighted colours are positive examples Un-annotated texts are negative examples Features of this annotation: first_letter_capitalised: true word_found_in_gazetteer: true preceded_by: the followed_by: period
23
Rule based systems are good for extracting information that match with simple patterns, and/or occur in regular contexts, thus are applied to: Grid reference (easting and northing) Report title* Report creator* Report publisher* Report publication date* Report publisher contact Bibliography & references Machine Learning is good for extracting information that can not be matched by patterns, or occur irregularly with contexts, or are large amount, thus is applied to: What (subject) Where (place name) When (temporal info) Event date
