Workshop on SAVE, a new online, peer-reviewed journal for digital archaeology
Participants: Bernard Frischer, Dean Abernathy, Chad Keller, David Koller, Alyson Gill, Arne Flaten

This workshop will give the second progress report on the creation of SAVE (“serving and archiving virtual environments”), a new journal to be launched in 2009 by the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia. We last reported on SAVE at CAA 2006 in Fargo. Since then, we have completed a needs assessment survey, the results of which will be presented. An editorial board has been established. We have explored the use of Google Earth as a vehicle for the publication of large, real-time models on the Internet, and we have developed VideoView, a program for secure rendering of high-resolution video animations of itineraries through a 3D model. Finally, we have shown how third-party models can be combined seamlessly to create large-scale, collaborative virtual worlds. To illustrate our progress toward the launch of SAVE, we will use our institute’s model of Rome in 320 A.D. (“Rome Reborn 1.0”).
