As open science grows, the management of research data is not standardized. The archaeological community tends to take over more and more the relational databases and is now collecting natively digital data. Using the methods of socio-anthropology, the purpose of this study is to understand the obstacles to the sharing of scientific information in the use of databases among researchers and with archeologists. For this purpose, the structuring of research communities is analyzed at different levels, individual, collaborative and institutional, in terms of disciplines and professionals, designer and user. These interactions generate friction (Vinck, 2009), translated into negotiations, thus allowing the production of new knowledge.
