Ceri Binding

Ceri Binding serves as a Researcher within the Computing, Cybersecurity, Mathematics and Informatics Research and Innovation Group at the University of South Wales' Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science. His work bridges advanced information science with archaeological applications through semantic technologies.

Research focuses on controlled vocabularies, semantic web technologies, and data integration for cultural heritage. Key areas include:

• Ontological modeling for archaeological contexts
• Linked Open Data implementation in heritage domains
• Thesaurus-based metadata alignment
• Temporal expression systems for archaeological periods

Recent publications demonstrate strong emphasis on vocabulary mapping and knowledge organization systems within archaeological infrastructure, particularly through projects like ARIADNEplus. His work addresses critical interoperability challenges in cross-institutional data sharing.

Award highlights:

• Best International Impact Award (2018) for contributions to archaeological data standardization

Active in international collaborations, Binding participates in working groups for controlled vocabulary development and presents regularly at ISKO conferences. His ScAPA dataset (Scottish Archaeological Periods & Ages) serves as a key resource for temporal referencing in archaeology. Current activities include developing reproducible workflows for archaeological data processing and open-source tools for temporal expression management.
