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
Sustainability in design engineering education: experiences in Northern Europe
In recent years, the implementation of sustainability into the curricula of engineering has become increasingly important. This paper focuses on the experiences of integrating sustainability in Design Engineering education in the academic bachelor programs at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, at the University College of West-Flanders in Belgium, and at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The different approaches are described and discussed. This paper aims to share insights and lessons learned in how to accomplish true integration of sustainability in bachelor course curricula of Industrial Design Engineering

Historical Research and Evidence in the Digital Age: The Case for New Approaches in Holocaust Research

Integrating Holocaust Research
In this article we present our ideas for an integrating activity for archival research on the Holocaust. We analyse how we can improve Holocaust-related collection descriptions for research, which we will make available online, and how EHRI provides travel grants for transnational access to existing infrastructures in Holocaust research. Both approaches help us overcome that Holocaust-related material is geographically dispersed and address the challenges for historical research stemming from the way documentation on the Holocaust has been attempted up to now. We have chosen to implement the EHRI integrated information resource using graph databases. With their emphasis on relationships, graph databases are particularly well suited for historical research in particular and humanities research in general. We analyse the architecture and implementation details of this novel approach and show how graph databases integrate with traditional ways of searching and browsing historical collections. This way, we support more advanced means of access to facts in the documents and enable deep semantically meaningful access to the documents. The innovation of EHRI lies in the combination of digital and non-digital means to integrate existing infrastructures. We believe this might be a model for many related research activities in the humanities. </jats:p
