This deliverable (D2) is the Data Management Plan of the Spoke 4. This Data Management Plan describes the categories of data that will be/is being produced by the project and details how they will be handled in a transparent manner and according to FAIR principles. This deliverable is a living document and will evolve during the lifespan of the project: new updated versions have already been planned for month M15 and M27. In addition, the DMP will be updated whenever important changes to data management or data management policy occur.

On April 21st, 2023 this presentation kicked off the process of drafting the Spoke's Data Management Plan.

This is a digital poster presented at the Italian Tripartite Assembly for the EOSC: ITAEOSC-2023 (Rome, June 5, 2023). It briefly describes the project PE5 Changes - Spoke 4: virtual tehcnologies for museums and art collections and how some early key research data management (RDM) decisions have been made by the group and documented in a data management plan (DMP). The project is part of Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP/PNNR).

Poster presented by the Data Stewards from the University of Bologna at the EUDAT Conference 2022 in Athens, Greece (13-15 September 2022). Two graphical tools developed by the team are presented: - the “UNIBO RDM data lifecycle”, structures a series of “actions” that researchers should consider at every stage of their project.(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7249051) - the "RDMDecisional tree" that includes the most important questions researchers should ask themselves before collecting and/or generating data, in order to follow FAIR principles while complying with all privacy/ethics/IPR requirements. (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7190005) &nbsp

A fruitful discussion around research data in the humanities, their exact definition, and how to manage them according to FAIR principles is ongoing. Critical reflections on the term “data” are often accompanied by calls to involve research communities in analysing and defining the workflows of knowledge creation, with an eye to adapting FAIR principles to existing research practices. This poster presents some of the results of a survey involving humanities researchers at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies of the University of Bologna and revolving around their research and data management practices.

Presentation given on November 16, 2022 at the conference "EOSC Symposium 2022," in the session "Fair enabling practices - Part A," Zenit Room, 2:30-4:00 p.m., Clarion Conference Hotel, Prague (CZ): https://symposium22.eoscfuture.eu/symposium/fair-enabling-practices-2/ We presented tools that we have created to support researchers to address, from the early stages of a research project, the major problems that can be encountered during the data lifecycle regarding RDM, Privacy, Ethics, Intellectual Property Research Data Management Decision Tree, available here:10.5281/zenodo.7190005 Research Data Management: Data Lifecycle, available here:10.5281/zenodo.7249050&nbsp

Come tradurre nella pratica di ricerca quotidiana i principi della Open Science? Quali strumenti utilizzare per aprire ogni passo del ciclo di ricerca? Lo sentiamo dall’esperienza concreta di due ricercatori di area umanistica che ci raccontano due progetti attualmente in corso: SPICE, incentrato su strumenti e metodi per supportare la citizen curation, e un progetto congiunto di indagine sul concetto di dato nelle Scienze Umane, nell’ottica di perimetrare la gestione FAIR dei dati in queste discipline.

This dissertation describes the interviews we conducted in late 2021 with 1 representative for each of the 19 disciplinary areas within the department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies (FICLIT) at the University of Bologna. The answers we gathered from participants were analysed using the Grounded Theory method and allowed us to reflect on the definition of the word “data” in the humanities domain, what research materials should be considered to fall within this definition, and what researchers in this field think of the term. In addition, we gathered information on other aspects of research, such as methodologies, possible copyright and privacy concerns, preservation strategies, and more. First, we extracted a list of 16 research materials that constitute the “building blocks” of research in the humanities, as far as our interviewees are concerned; publications emerged as the most important one. The majority of participants included most of the materials they use in research within their definition of data, and this term did not seem to be especially problematic for them, contrary to what has been reported elsewhere. Most researchers also stated they have a precise methodology, although rarely formalised, which is surprising when compared to the available literature. Regarding data management practices, our results mostly confirm what emerged from previous studies, but collaboration was a notable exception: sharing with colleagues, and teamwork appear more common than reported elsewhere. Finally, the attitudes towards open science and open data are mostly positive among the interviewees. The study should be replicated on a larger scale, and include other disciplines, to confirm these findings and paint a more precise picture of how research is done in the humanities and how it can be made more FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable).

The main objective of T4.1 was to “help researchers in their selection of an appropriate publishing venue and, generally, of a scholarly communication strategy”. Some guidance to achieve the goal was provided. The solution chosen was to build the working prototype of a tool that was called Operas Pathfinder. This allowed not only to respond to the different requests of the task, but to pave the way for the implementation of one of the upcoming dedicated services of Operas, which can be fully tested as of today.

In questo lavoro viene delineata la struttura di un'edizione digitale del carteggio tra Rosa Calzecchi Onesti (che tradusse l'Iliade per Einaudi nel 1950) e Cesare Pavese (che, poco prima della sua morte, curò la traduzione per conto dell'editore).
