Bibliography Relating to Open Context
Open Context publishes archaeological data to facilitate reuses, including reuse that requires more sophisticated forms of data integration. However, many of the problems involved with data publication are difficult and complex, especially because community expectations and technologies continually change.
Because of these challenges, we continually work to improve Open Context. This page lists publications that help document our efforts.
