The activity of design of the Joint Resource Registry is propaedeutic to the building phase of a comprehensive inventory of resources and is the result of two different activities: o A survey of resources (datasets, collections, infrastructures, services) available in the archaeological context; o The definition of the main entities for the PARTHENOS data model taking into account the ontology defined in T5.1. In this document, we present a description of the existing registries in the humanities area, derived from the analysis conducted in the first activity. The goal of the activity was to identify the main descriptive conceptual entities and features of existing resources that would be useful for the definition of the PARTHENOS Registry Data Model. This document is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the best-known standards used in the definition of registry models; Section 3 describes the survey carried out of existing registries in the thematic area of the PARTHENOS project; Section 4 contains a detailed description of the surveyed registries; Section 5 summarizes the main entities and functionalities of the analysed registries; Section 6 presents the PARTHENOS Joint Resource Registry Data Model; and finally, Section 7 presents the architecture of the Joint Resource Registry service that implements the model.
