PREMIS Digital Preservation Metadata Birds of a Feather
No full textThis BOF conversation will benefit individuals and institutions interested in implementing PREMIS metadata for the long-term management and preservation of their digital information, for both experienced implementers and those who have limited experience in implementation. Participants can be cultural heritage professionals, researchers, technology developers, professional educators, and anyone else involved in management and preservation of digital resources. For a fruitful discussion it is best to have a mixture of familiarity so new users can learn from existing users and vice versa, through a conversation facilitated by PREMIS EC members
The rune stone investigations
No full textThe two rune stones raised by King Gorm and King Harald play a key role in the narratives and historical interpretations of the Jelling monument complex. They tie known historical individuals to a location which, despite the two great mounds, would otherwise have remained anonymous, and rather than being randomly (independently) placed, appear to have been integral elements of the overall plans for the site. It was never really questioned that King Harald’s rune stone was intended to stand midway between the two mounds. It was obvious, however, that the older, smaller rune stone raised by King Gorm no longer stood in its original position. The digging that was required in 2011 for protective case foundations, technical installations and the securing of the rune stones offered an opportunity to re-examine this central part of the monument area. The results of the investigations are presented in this chapter, after a summary of the observations previously made by Dyggve and Krogh
Royal Jelling
No full textSince the discovery and investigation in 2006-2013 of the remains of a palisade that enclosed the royal mounds and rune stones in Jelling, the interpretation of the monument complex and its development through time has changed considerably. From having been perceived mainly as a place of burial and commemoration in the tenth century, it is today regarded as a ritual and ceremonial space, which was located in a landscape on which it seems to have had little immediate impact, either in terms of settlement patterns or burial customs. . In its entirety, the complex gives the impression of a meticulously planned layout that was based upon strict architectural and geometric principles, which appear to have been established and maintained over several decades. Whilst much was new or built on a vastly exaggerated scale, the structural and ideological references embedded in the monuments suggest that the meaning and function of the place rested upon far more than innovative thinking and physical dimensions, or the implied control of manpower and natural resources. In this chapter, the results of the many investigations and research initiatives presented in this volume are summarised as a prelude to the discussion of the purpose of the enclosure, and the wider implications of the successive additions to the monuments
