Data fluidity in DARIAH -- pushing the agenda forward
This work aims to improve data practices for humanities researchers and cultural heritage institutions, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing infrastructure.
The paper addresses data management challenges in the European DARIAH infrastructure for the humanities, proposing action lines such as data hosting, a seal of approval, a charter with cultural heritage institutions, and certification mechanisms.
This paper provides both an update concerning the setting up of the European DARIAH infrastructure and a series of strong action lines related to the development of a data centred strategy for the humanities in the coming years. In particular we tackle various aspect of data management: data hosting, the setting up of a DARIAH seal of approval, the establishment of a charter between cultural heritage institutions and scholars and finally a specific view on certification mechanisms for data.
