The present document reports on the implementation of the ARTEMIS infrastructure during the second quarter (M10-M18) of the ARTEMIS project, describing both technological and semantic components, as well as decisions made to facilitate access and integration. It follows the work initiated during the first quarter (M1-M9) of the ARTEMIS project, as reported in Deliverable 7.1, ‘Infrastructure Design and Setup’.
During this period, the cloud and services infrastructure have been implemented to provide stability and security for hosting ARTEMIS services, comprising Development, Integration Testing and Production platforms. Additional resources have been incorporated since its initial design in Deliverable 7.1, and internal training has been undertaken on the INDIGO-IAM authentication/authorisation service. This work has been complemented by a resource request procedure, to ensure that the requirements of ARTEMIS services and pilots can be met in an efficient and consistent way.
Concurrently, substantial progress has been made on the data infrastructure, which is now operational. In particular, the CIDOC CRM-derived ARTEMIS Ontology has received major updates to ensure robust and consistent description of services and digital operations, while also finalising the modules for common entities, heritage science, and 3D information. This ontology lies at the core of the ARTEMIS Knowledge Base, which has been implemented in GraphDB and provides multiple access points, including a SPARQL endpoint, REST API, and the ARTEMIS portal, which also incorporates natural language querying using AI technologies. The development of mapping strategies to enable the integration of new datasets is ongoing.
The above work will continue over the second half of the ARTEMIS project, as the cloud and services infrastructure evolves to optimise support for ARTEMIS services and to ensure robust security procedures following the public launch of the infrastructure in Autumn 2026. Simultaneously, data infrastructure development will focus on facilitating the ingestion of new data and managing the resulting expansion of the ARTEMIS Knowledge Base, while continuing to experiment with and evaluate semantic reasoning and AI technologies.
