OCHRE Data Service
The OCHRE Data Service facilitates the
use of the Online Cultural and Historical Research Environment (OCHRE)
worldwide to record, integrate, analyze, publish, and preserve cultural
and historical information in all of its digital forms. Located in the
Oriental Institute (OI) at the University of Chicago, we provide
personal support for customized database projects in the humanities,
social sciences, and beyond.
As a center of research devoted to the study of
the Ancient Near East, the Oriental Institute has long been an
environment where the collection, management, analysis and preservation
of cultural heritage is of the highest priority and held to the highest
standard. It is no surprise, then, that the Oriental Institute is home
to OCHRE—an innovative, integrative software system for managing data
from the past, applying it to today's research questions, and archiving
it for future study.
The OCHRE Data Service consists of a team of
advanced research scholars, experienced technology professionals, and
students trained in data entry, editing, and specialized photography. A
community of users, based at universities and other institutions around
the world, holds the OCHRE Data Service accountable for providing
services and features that satisfy the full cycle of data
management—from recording, to integration, analysis, publication, and,
ultimately, to data preservation.
