We present our methodology and a prototype for an Australian archaeological digital collection based on data grid technologies and infrastructure. We also report on preliminary results using innovative visualisation techniques for spatio-temporal data based on the Google Maps/Google Earth technology and progress on the development of a 3D reconstruction tool that visualises excavated archaeological deposits and associated stratigraphy. Data from three major archaeological projects in Queensland are employed, spanning Indigenous, contact and historical archaeology: Mill Point Archaeological Project, Cania Gorge Regional Archaeological Project and Index of Dates from Archaeological Sites in Queensland. These case studies were selected to represent the different challenges in deploying digital technologies to Australian archaeological applications.

Almost all critical aspects of datagrid research and technology are encountered when developing a Virtual Observatory. Issues include interoperability of datasets and processing software, metadata format standardisation, and resolution of ontological issues. Members of the ANU Supercomputer Facility (ANUSF) are undertaking research and implementation projects in several key VO areas. In this paper we discuss the data sets and astronomy projects with which ANUSF is involved, and outline the VO projects we are undertaking based on these resources.

We explore this theme by reference to three recent developments, demonstrating different architectural approaches to spatial data distribution. First, the ACT Pilot system assesses the feasibility of transferring cadastral data over the Web in vector form, to facilitate interaction based around the map image. Secondly, the Hydra-4 project extends the vector-based map interaction for environmental mapping in an interactive system for water quality planning. Hydra-4 enables Web access to both spatial and temporal data. Thirdly, the on-going SMART project assesses the technical feasibility of spatial Internet marketplaces, in which applications are built from data and processing services offered by multiple, independent providers. A small SMART demonstrator system has been built.
