The MaDiH (مديح): Mapping Digital Cultural Heritage in Jordan, Opportunities and Limitations

MaDiH (مديح): Mapping Digital Cultural Heritage in Jordan is an AHRC/Newton funded collaborative project between King’s Digital Lab (KDL), the Hashemite University, the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL), the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, the Jordanian Open Source Association, and the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) project. The project aims to contribute to the development of Jordan’s digital cultural heritage by identifying systems, datasets, standards, and policies, and aligning them to government digital infrastructure capabilities and strategies. The MaDiH data catalogue or, in future, repository includes datasets that have been created over the past 50 years by archaeological teams, official institutions, museums, research institutions, or individuals from Jordan and other countries such as the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, France, Japan, and Canada.
