Arachne is the central object-database of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI). In 2004 the DAI and the Research Archive for Ancient Sculpture at the University of Cologne (FA) joined the effort to support Arachne as a tool for free internet-based research. Arachne's database design uses a model that builds on one of the most basic assumptions one can make about archaeology, classical archaeology or art history: all activities in these areas can most generally be described as contextualizing objects. Arachne tries to avoid the basic mistakes of earlier databases, which limited their object modeling to specific project-oriented aspects, thus creating separated containers of only a small number of objects. All objects inside Arachne share a general part of their object model, to which a more class-specific part is added that describes the specialised properties of a category of material like architecture or topography. Seen on the level of the general part, a powerful pool of material can be used for general information retrieval, whereas on the level of categories and properties, very specific structures can be displayed.
The Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (AMCR) is a repository designed for information on archaeological investigations, sites and finds, operated by the Archaeological Institutes of the CAS in Prague and Brno. The archives of these institutions contain documentation of archaeological fieldwork on the territory of the Czech Republic from 1919 to the present day, and they continue to enrich their collections. The AMCR database and related documents form the largest collection of archaeological data concerning the Czech Republic and are therefore an important part of our cultural heritage. The AMCR digital archive contains various types of records - individual archaeological documents (texts, field photographs, aerial photographs, maps and plans, digital data), projects, fieldwork events, archaeological sites, records of individual finds and a library of 3D models. Data and descriptive information are continuously taken from the AMCR and presented in the the AMCR Digital Archive interface.
