The collaborative Basilica Iulia Project: A Digital Knowledge Ecosystem for Integrated Archaeological Research

Abstract
The Basilica Iulia Project addresses the challenge of integrating heterogeneous archaeological data through a collaborative digital ecosystem based on the Extended Matrix (EM) framework and s3Dgraphy ontology. By transforming traditional disconnected workflows into an integrated environment aligned with CIDOC-CRM standards, the project enables seamless collaboration across architectural, archaeological, and conservation domains. The implementation demonstrates how open- source tools developed through a project-driven approach can create sustainable ''Living Lab'' environments for complex archaeological sites. Key innovations include the Data Transformation Chain (DTC) or process documentation and intuitive interfaces for multidisciplinary teams. The resulting framework, validated through the Basilica Iulia case study, provides a scalable model for digital archaeology that maintains scientific rigor while fostering cross-domain collaboration.
