Hacia una Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales Arqueológica. Geoportal de la excavación arqueológica de Geoktchik-depe, Turkmenistán

Abstract

Several years have passed since the publication of the regulations INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) and its transposition into Spanish law. So far, there is no fully harmonized geoportal to INSPIRE archaeological information. This is due in part to the lack of a profile of the application schema adapted to archaeological data. This article describes the process for the preparation of a geoportal with access to data from an archaeological excavation according to the draft of schema “INSPIRE Cultural Heritage Data” compiled by the CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas) and its associated services. The aim is to structure the information in a way enabling both interoperability and understanding of it, being accessible through standardized services1. All this applied to the site of Geoktchik-depe, Turkmenistan.
