Abstract

This paper outlines the ongoing work of the DigiNUMA project for creating solutions in data harmonisation, analysis, and dissemination of pan-European archaeological and numismatic Cultural Heritage, using linked data and semantic web technologies. The project focuses on Viking Age (800–1150 AD) Finnish and English numismatic data as a case study. A broader context is gained by research into harmonizing collection data of the National Museum of Finland, the British Museum, and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge for compatibility with the international Nomisma.org ontology, and by creating tools that can be used to work with other Nomisma.org datasets.
