"This productivity map for Google Earth is an example of such an application. It renders the university buildings in 3D - the building height indicates the number of publications written by researchers working in the respective building."
"Digital material can be easily reproduced at no cost. But this potential is often not realised, because the vast majority of archaeological information is not shared. Researchers and research groups usually restrict access to their data to a small group of people. In other words, data sharing is not so widespread among archaeologists as one might wish, and dissemination of research is still mostly based on traditional pre-digital means like journal articles, books and the like."
