Preparing DARIAH
In this paper, a preparatory project for an integrated European research infrastructure in the humanities is presented. This project, Preparing for the construction of the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities - or Preparing DARIAH for short, is part of the ESFRI e-infrastructures programme and supports the emergence of a new collaborative framework in which researchers are able to maximise the impact of their work on the international stage and aims at providing the foundations for the timely construction of the infrastructure requisite for the arts, humanities and cultural heritage communities in the digital age. DARIAH uses an interdisciplinary approach and involves tackling a number of interrelated issues such as strategic, organisational, financial, technical and conceptual in order to facilitate long-term access to and use of all European humanities and cultural heritage information for the purposes of enhancing and expanding research, thereby increasing our knowledge and understanding of our histories, heritage, languages and cultures. The DARIAH network will act as a place where the incubation of new ideas and ways of working can be facilitated and developed, and then transitioned into established organisations thus ensuring long-term sustainability and stability and the integration of these methods and techniques into everyday research practice. DARIAH will support research practitioners at all stages in the research process, and at differing levels of sophistication, from beginners through to those employing advanced techniques and methodologies
A Conceptual Model for Scholarly Research Activity
This paper presents a conceptual model for scholarly research
activity, developed as part of the conceptual modelling work
within the ???Preparing DARIAH??? European e-Infrastructures
project. It is inspired by cultural-historical activity theory,
and is expressed in terms of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference
Model, extending its notion of activity so as to also
account, apart from historical practice, for scholarly research
planning. It is intended as a framework for structuring and
analyzing the results of empirical research on scholarly practice
and information requirements, encompassing the full
research lifecycle of information work and involving both
primary evidence and scholarly objects; also, as a framework
for producing clear and pertinent information requirements,
and specifications of digital infrastructures, tools and services
for scholarly research. We plan to use the model to tag interview
transcripts from an empirical study on scholarly information
work, and thus validate its soundness and fitness for
purpose
Towards a national web in a federated country : a Belgian case study
Although the .be domain was introduced in June 1988, the Belgian web is currently not
systematically archived. As of August 2016, 1.550.147 domains are registered by DNS Belgium.
Without a Belgian web archive, the content of these websites will not be preserved for future
generations and a significant portion of Belgian history will be lost forever. In this paper we present the initial findings of a research project exploring the policy, legal, technical and scientific issues around archiving the Belgian web. The aim of this project is to a) identify current best practices in web-archiving b) pilot a Belgian web archive and c) identify research use cases for the scientific study of the Belgian web. This case study is seen as a first step towards implementing a long-term web archiving strategy for Belgium
Crowds for Clouds: Recent Trends in Humanities Research Infrastructures
Humanities have convincingly argued that they need transnational research
opportunities and through the digital transformation of their disciplines also
have the means to proceed with it on an up to now unknown scale. The digital
transformation of research and its resources means that many of the artifacts,
documents, materials, etc. that interest humanities research can now be
combined in new and innovative ways. Due to the digital transformations, (big)
data and information have become central to the study of culture and society.
Humanities research infrastructures manage, organise and distribute this kind
of information and many more data objects as they becomes relevant for social
and cultural research
D5.3 Overview of Online Tutorials and Instruction Manuals
UIDB/03213/2020
UIDP/03213/2020The ELEXIS Curriculum is an integrated set of training materials which contextualizes ELEXIS tools and services inside a broader, systematic pedagogic narrative. This means that the goal of the ELEXIS Curriculum is not simply to inform users about the functionalities of particular tools and services developed within the project, but to show how such tools and services are a) embedded in both lexicographic theory and practice; and b) representative of and contributing to the development of digital skills among lexicographers. The scope and rationale of the curriculum are described in more detail in the Deliverable D5.2 Guidelines for Producing ELEXIS Tutorials and Instruction Manuals. The goal of this deliverable, as stated in the project DOW, is to provide âa clear, structured overview of tutorials and instruction manuals developed within the project.âpublishersversionpublishe
Organize training measures, including workshops in accession candidate countries
The DESIR project sets out to strengthen the sustainability of DARIAH and firmly establish it as a long-term leader and partner within arts and humanities communities. The project was designed to address six core infrastructural sustainability dimensions and one of these was dedicated to training and education, which is also one of the four pillars identified in the DARIAH Strategic Plan 2019-2026. In the framework of Work Package 7: Teaching, DESIR organised dedicated workshops in the six DARIAH accession countries (Czech Republic, Finland, Israel, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) to introduce them to the DARIAH infrastructure and related services, and to develop methodological research skills. The topic of each workshop was decided by accession countries representatives according to the training needs of the national communities of researchers in the (Digital) Humanities. Training topics varied greatly: on the one hand, some workshops had the objective to introduce participants to specific methodological research skills; on the other hand, a different approach was used, and some events focused on the infrastructural role of training and education. The workshops organised in the context of Work Package 7: Teaching are listed below:⢠CZECH REPUBLIC: âA series of fall tutorials 2019 organized by LINDAT/CLARIAHCZ, tutorial #3 on TEI Trainingâ, November 28, 2019, Prague;⢠FINLAND: âReuse & sustainability: Open Science and social sciences and humanities research infrastructuresâ, 23 October 2019, Helsinki;⢠ISRAEL: âIntroduction to Text Encoding and Digital Editionsâ, 24 October 2019, Haifa;⢠SPAIN: âDESIR Workshop: Digital Tools, Shared Data, and Research Disseminationâ, 3 July 2019, Madrid;⢠SWITZERLAND: âSharing the Experience: Workflows for the Digital Humanitiesâ, 5-6 December 2019, Neuchâtel;⢠UNITED KINGDOM: âResearch Software Engineering for Digital Humanities: Role of Training in Sustaining Expertiseâ, 9 December, London
