The document summarizes the ARIADNE Portal project, which aims to create a common research portal for European archaeologists. Key points: - Funded EU infrastructure project with 24 partners across 16 countries and a budget of 6 million Euro - Will develop common standards, policies, and tools like a portal for accessing archaeological research data and documents from across Europe - Faces challenges like lack of existing common infrastructure/standards and varying technological expertise among partners - Will aggregate data from different sources using common metadata schemas and enrich data using thesauri and mappings before publishing on the portal
