description: This deliverable presents the activities carried out by the partners during the second half of the ARIADNEplus project within Work Package 14 (WP14 - JRA3 - The ARIADNEplus knowledge management system) and describes the results of the four WP14 tasks: Task 14.1 – Monitoring knowledge integration (JRA3.1) Task 14.2 – Application profiles (JRA3.2) Task 14.3 – Vocabularies and gazetteers (JRA3.3) Task 14.4 – Assessing the CRM extensions (JRA3.4). The overall objectives of WP14 are presented in Section 2 while Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 present the detailed work in Tasks 14.1, 14.2, 14.3 and 14.4 respectively. Work in WP14 is closely related to other work packages and more specifically to WP4 where the ARIADNEplus ontology and specific extensions, the application profiles, to specific sub-domains of archaeology and archaeological science, are being implemented. Deliverables of WP4 provide a detailed description of the AO-Cat (D4.2 - Initial report on ontology implementation) and the progress on the application profiles (D4.4 - Final report on ontology implementation, due at the end of the project). Whenever necessary, references to other deliverables will be provided. Overall, the activities of WP14 were carried out successfully and with very good cooperation with other interlinked work packages such as WP4, 5, and 12. Activity Dash, integrated into the projects’ infrastructure, was used to monitor the aggregation process, with 62 active workflows creating and recording the aggregation progress status of all the data providers. The development of the application profiles was carried out in close collaboration between the partners of 14.2 and 4.4 and led to the release of four stable fundamental application profiles for the specific research domains of inscriptions, marks, graffiti and other textual entities, ancient DNA analysis, heritage science scientific analysis and mortuary archaeology. The classes and properties that constitute each application profile are borrowed from existing ontological models or derived from them and are fully compatible with the AO-Cat general model and the CIDOC CRM, which form the backbone of ARIADNEplus. Work on multilingual vocabularies was carried out in close collaboration with WP5 on vocabulary integration via mappings from partner vocabularies to the Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) and via the PeriodO framework for temporal periods (see also WP5 Deliverables and the User Manual for the ARIADNEplus Data Aggregation Pipeline). The assessment of the CRM extensions included testing integrated data from the fields of numismatics, epigraphies and mortuary archaeology. A semantic search demonstrator was built to query and test the numismatic and epigraphic data integrated to the item-level. The mapping of Thanados1 database to the infrastructure was used to test the mortuary data AP.
