Wondercoins, an open data platform for ancient Numismatics in Hispania and Mauretania

Abstract

Coins are especially suitable objects for a standardised inclusion in open data systems, due to its serialised production. We introduce Wondercoins, an open-data platform to analyse, manage, preserve and disseminate archaeological numismatic cultural heritage from Hispania and Mauretania during Antiquity (from the 4th century BC to 6th century AD). Wondercoins is built on top of Dedalo, an open-source system for managing Digital Archives of Cultural Heritage. The challenges of platform building and future steps are discussed.
