Short Description
In cooperation with the ACDH-CH of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Prehistoric Department of the NHM Vienna is developing the open source software OpenAtlas, which is used for data acquisition, processing and curating of research data from the archaeological and historical area. With THANADOS a frontend for the presentation and dissemination of data is also being developed.
The data model is based on the CIDOC CRM.

Based on these software developments, the Prehistoric Department of NHM operates and curates an open data repository of early historical and medieval grave finds of Austria - THANADOS.
