2. IntegraDon
in
ARIADNE
• CreaDon
of
an
integrated
ecosystem
of
archaeological
informaDon
• To
guarantee
interoperability
among
data
coming
from
different
archives
• To
use
data
as
if
they
were
stored
in
a
single
archive
– Unique
access
point
– Uniform
interfaces
• To
ensure
retrieval
of
informaDon
in
a
coherent
and
meaningful
way
