National extensive databases in Norway - pitfalls in a bright future
Espen Uleberg, Mieko Matsumoto · 2009
Extensive databases are becoming more available to researchers, students and the general public. A national database makes it more possible to have an overview of the totality. Information is easier accessible, but the amounts and quality of the information creates new challenges. The system of university education in Norway has changed. The new system together with the new availability of material may change education and research style for both experienced and amateur archaeologists. In this paper, we concentrate on the consequences for research and education but also have a quick glance at cultural heritage management and public access.
