'''Bio:'''

Since beginning my own studies, I have recognised the importance and interdependence of both History and Digital technologies. I graduated in History of Art from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2013 where I specialized in Ancient Art in Roman Spain. After completing my degree, I studied for an MA in Classical Art and Archaeology at Kings College London, where I attended the Digital Classics module at the Institute of Classical Studies and collaborated with the Heritage Gazetteer of Cyprus Project at the Department of Digital Humanities. At the moment, I am a PhD student at the Open University looking at Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain Through Linked Open Data Technologies. I have collaborated with the Sunoikisis Digital Classics online programme where I designed and taught a class on Geographic Semantic Annotation and visualisation and I have taken part in several trainings and workshops on the incorporation of Digital tools for the study of the Ancient World.

Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data.

==Abstract==

Current scholarship regarding the question of cultural interaction in Early Roman Spain is producing significant amounts of data that need to be managed at an ever-growing scale. Nevertheless, initial research has identified several barriers to the access and consumption of this data. In most cases, archaeological databases constitute closed-world data silos that allow very little access to the information and impede data querying and processing. The findability of content is restricted to browsing facilities on the respective Web portals, and even then, the functionality offered by these resources is far from ideal.

My research deploys Linked Open Data technologies to overcome the impediments regarding data processability, accessibility and interoperability in archaeological scholarship with the aim to investigate the question of Cultural Contact in Early Roman Ulterior Baetica from 3rd ct. BCE to 1st ct. AD [https://www.academia.edu/37812494/Cultural_Contact_in_Early_Roman_Baetica_through_Linked_Open_Data_Poster Poster]. With this aim, I have created the Early Roman Ulterior Baetica dataset [https://github.com/paulagranados/CulturalContactBaetica ERUB], a dataset of almost 3 million RDF triples integrated by data gathered online from LOD databases such as Pleaides, Nomisma.org and EDH and a whole set of new triples generated ex novo based on a subset of data collected from Spanish institutional catalogues and secondary scholarship using python scripts.

During the modelling of the data, dissatisfaction with the existing domain ontologies for capturing data related to cultural phenomena has motivated the development of the Cultural Contact Ontology [https://github.com/paulagranados/CuCoO CuCoO]. CuCoO defines main concepts related to cross-cultural interaction in antiquity and explores different ways of perceiving and modelling cultural contact phenomena.

At the moment, I am a PhD student at the Open University in the Classics Department. I have collaborated with the Sunoikisis Digital Classics online programme where I designed and taught a class on Geographic Semantic Annotation and visualisation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVS4jde6yWs&t=83s Geographic Semantic Annotation and visualisation ] and I have taken part in trainings and [https://www.academia.edu/37812472/Digital_Tools_for_Classicists_Workshop workshops] on the incorporation of Digital tools for the study of the Ancient World.

Working title

Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data resources.

Abstract

Even though the Romanisation debate seems to be already over in English scholarly literature, other countries, such as Spain, have only just started to revise traditional discourses. During the 1900s, Spanish studies on Romanisation were mainly focused on documentation of the immense amount of evidence always from the Imperial point of view. This meaningful, though -mainly descriptivescholarship established Roman archaeology in the Iberian Peninsula. Today, this work is beginning to be re-examined by incorporating new methodologies and perspectives. Within this paradigm shift, novel initiatives are emerging that aim to provide a new scenario by looking at this cultural encounter from the eyes of the colonised agent. My research "Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data" explores the possibilities offered by Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web to connect, share and make available large amounts of archaeological data regarding the question of cultural interaction. Using Linked Open Data resources and other digital technologies, this study aims to make effective relations between large amounts of data. These connections will provide the basis to interpret, reuse and contextualise the information more broadly to understand the dynamics of a colonial encounter where the data is fragmentary, heterogeneous and interdisciplinary, and therefore, advance current scholarship.

'''Bio:'''

Since beginning my own studies, I have recognised the importance and interdependence of both History and Digital technologies. I have graduated in History of Art from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid with my final project on "Pre-Roman Sanctuaries in the Iberian Peninsula" and I have specialised in Early Roman Spain. Looking forward to expanding my competence in History of Art, I have completed a Master’s degree at King´s College London and University College London as an intercollegiate student. During this degree, I have gained expertise in academic research related to the Classical world and I have also developed my knowledge about Digital Humanities through the Digital Classics Intercollegiate Module at the Institute of Classical Studies and my collaboration with the Heritage Gazetteer of Cyprus project at the Department of Digital Humanities at King´s College London. Currently, I am a Digital Archaeology PhD candidate at the Open University, UK. My research focuses on the study of Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data resources.
