DEFC App

The DEFC App (Digitizing Early Farming Cultures) is an application for curating, exploring, and retrieving archaeological datasets. Core assets of the application are its data model, a well curated controlled vocabulary, and the usage of established norm data records (Geonames, GND), which makes the handling and normalization of very heterogeneous data sets possible.

The application, developed by the ACDH-CH, is built upon Django, a Python web framework that uses common JavaScript libraries like Tablesorter or Leaflet for organizing, visualizing, and presenting the data on the front end, which enhances the applications reusability and reduces the amount of bugs.
