Bibliographical data are one of the most important types of data for data-driven research and curation in the humanities. The goal of the panel is to introduce various aspects of current bibliographical data ecosystem which is shaped by constant interactions between various public and private stakeholders.

In this poster, researchers from different projects present the integration of existingTEI-encoded corpora into a repository and analysis infrastructure, as well as the benefits of this integration. The focus is not on resource creation (corpus design or text encoding), but on infrastructure integration, dissemination and re-use of existing resources. The NFDI consortium Text+ seeks the integration of already existing resources, for example through the publication of corpora in repositories. We present the publication of the corpora of the European Literary Text Collection in the TextGrid Repository, discuss their characteristics and the advantages of this integration. The poster was accepted and presented at the DH2023 conference in Graz.

Research assessment reform is crucial for the social sustainability of research infrastructures (RIs): RIs can only thrive in the long term if the researchers who contribute to their development and growth receive academic credit for the kind of work they do in and around research infrastructures. To put it bluntly, research infrastructures have a vested interest in supporting the reform of research assessment. But, conversely, ongoing attempts to reform research assessment can also benefit from the work of research infrastructures because RIs have a great deal of experience creating and maintaining public services for producing, curating and harvesting both traditional and non-traditional academic outputs. The goal of this paper is to outline DARIAH’s position on the importance of research assessment reform for thematic RIs and the importance of thematic RIs for research assessment reform at the European level.

ERICs (European Research Infrastructure Consortia) are European legal entities to facilitate the establishment and operation of Research Infrastructures with European interest. ERICs are increasingly asked to account for their operations (see debate on KPI in the ERIC Forum). At the same time, web services such as the EOSC Resource Catalogues, the SSH Open Marketplace, and OpenAire, provide possibilities to register and disseminate research outputs, making them ready for automatic harvesting. While the need for standardization of the description of ERIC provided services and content is still very much debated, there are also conceptual dimensions we would like to address in this paper. ERICs, by definition, create and operate in a landscape of distributed, co-created, network of processes. To summarize, services in the large domain of SSH, are increasingly ‘shared’ resources. In the spirit of Open Science and the further consolidation of the European Research Area, this interconnectedness can only be applauded. This is how the integrating function of ERICs materializes, and how we avoid the duplication of effort. At the same time, ERICs are also defined organizations with boundaries, and subject to individual assessments. To some extent ERICs are even in competition with each other, for visibility, user groups, in-kind contributions, funds allocated nationally and from the EC. This paper makes a first attempt to reflect about intrinsic challenges in accounting single nodes in a network of collaborating nodes. While each ERIC already defines its own policy of how to deal with this complexity according to their needs, there is a debate needed as to how to assess contributions to distributed infrastructures in a way which gives credit to all participating while at the same time avoid mis-allocation, double counting and so on, in particular in the context of the development of the EOSC. The matter of ethical, balanced, effective research assessment which has been discussed extensively in the realm of scholarly communication (Leiden Manifesto) also needs to be addressed in the area of research infrastructures. Such a reflection will inform the current discourse of further standardizing the metadata schema which are behind the different catalogues; the search for meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for ERICs and the further shaping of the collaboration and division of labor between ERIC’s at national and European level. This paper takes the current discourse around the DARIAH service portfolio as an example/case to highlight these more generic challenges. It also attempts to sort out various sources of ‘assignment uncertainty’ of contributions (e.g. differences in controlled vocabularies, incompatibilities of metadata schemes, user-generated content, metrics of assignments, and policy decisions). While we focus the discussion on ERICs, our motivation to present this at the DARIAH Annual event is that it might be of particular interest to see how cultural heritage institutions (libraries, archives, museums…), in their roles as content providers also for ERICs are credited for their contribution to ERICs, and beyond.

Science and research have always benefited from exchange and openness – both within their own discipline and community and beyond. This principle is the basis of the Association for Research Infrastructures in the Humanities and Cultural Studies (Verein Geistes- und kulturwissenschaftliche Forschungsinfrastrukturen e.V., GKFI) which is presented on this poster.

This report has been prepared by the “Bibliographical Data” Working Group of the DARIAH-ERIC consortium, which develops public digital research infrastructure for the arts and humanities. The Group consists of more than 30 members from 15 countries, most of whom are researchers and curators in the public sector who are engaged in bibliographical data (“bibliodata”) research and curation. This report is aimed at all active stakeholders in the humanities bibliodata landscape,especially public sector entities who may benefit from the Group’s insights and engage in cooperation to identify common interests, shape joint agendas, and achieve common goals. Those goals include creating shared infrastructure solutions, harmonising existing standards, and building partnerships to meet major challenges for contemporary bibliodata stakeholders. The bibliodata landscape is a dynamic ecosystem including the many stakeholders who produce, process, and use diverse bibliographical resources (datasets, tools, services). Following the digital revolution, this landscape has been reconfigured and a critical era is now upon us that demands closer investigation. This report analyses the state of the art by defining current bibliodata (Chapter 1), mapping the contemporary landscape (Chapter 2), identifying crucial stakeholder challenges and opportunities (Chapter 3), and offering recommendations for future cooperation (Chapter 4). This report presents an overview of issues in the bibliodata landscape. It is intended to provide a foundation for more detailed reports and case studies on the issues identified in this document.

With these guidelines we explain how to add Tools & Services as DARIAH National Resources into the SSH Open Marketplace. The DARIAH National Coordinators Committee agreed on therecommendations. These guidelines can also be used for other national infrastructure consortia to manage and represent their tools and services for the community in an open and collaborative way.This represents a living document, that is subject to updated versions as practices change and the SSH Open Marketplace evolves.

Poster presented at the plenary meeting of the NFDI consortium Text+ on September 12, 2022 in Mannheim, Germany., Text+ receives a funding grant from the DFG under the grant agreement number 460033370. Text+ is contributing to the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).

The presentation was held during the Mutual Learning Workshop for Improving Cultural Heritage Bibliographical Data (October 12-14, 2022) organised by the Bibliographical Data Working Group of the DARIAH-ERIC., The Mutual Learning Workshop for Improving Cultural Heritage Bibliographical Data has been supported by the DARIAH ERIC.

One of the best known but still not really solved problems in Research Infrastructures (RI) is how to understand and meet the needs and requirements of its users. At the national and European level, the most common method is to invite individual researchers into boards of RI consortia. However, this method seems to be insufficient for communities with a wide range of heterogeneous sub-disciplines. Collecting user stories serves as an additional method to align planned services in RI with the researchers’ needs, i.e. making sure that existing tools and services match the users’ expectations. We take a look at the different kinds of user stories in several scientific communities and the ability of the Humanities to listen and analyse stories in a mixture of qualitative, hermeneutic and quantitative methods.

What? Our idea is about applying research tools like the Switchboard, the Virtual Language Observatory (VLO) and the VCR - for teaching scenarios Why? We see two main benefits in this idea/challenge, one addressing the students side, the other addressing the tool/services side. Regarding the students: Learn with and use these tools the students enhance their data discovery and processing skills and also learn how to cite the datasets they use. They gain important contributions to their skillset regarding Research Data Management (RDM), collaborative modes of working (e.g. in the European Research Area) but also addressing the FAIR principles as a per-default mode of doing research today. Regarding the tool side: a common weak spot of research infrastructures is the missing connection between the developer/provider side and the user community. Often this leads to an unsatisfactory uptake in the community and vice versa to deficits regarding user experience or unsatisfactory integration in the research processes. The intensive use in a teaching environment could address this weak spot. Additionally this idea/challenge addresses an improved integration and interoperability of the mentioned tools and resources with one another.

All persons listed have actively contributed to the Text+ proposal. In addition, thanks go to Alexander Czmiel, Sonja Friedrichs, Anne Klammt, Wolfgang Klein, Frank Michaelis, Stefan Schmunk, Alexander Steckel and Roberta Toscano. Text+ aims to develop a research data infrastructure for Humanities disciplines and beyond whose primary research focus is on language and text. Text+ will be flexible, scalable, and thus open for different discipline-specific requirements. By offering easy access to high quality research data, Text+ will support a maximum of methodological diversity, which in turn is a prerequisite for innovative and transdisciplinary research. Text+ focuses on Collections, Lexical Resources and Editions. These data domains have a long tradition of research and are linked to mature methodological paradigms that require distinctive but also cross-disciplinary practices of data generation, curation and management. The three types of research data are indispensable for a wide range of Humanities disciplines, including, but not limited to, Classical Philology, Linguistics, Literary Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology, Non-European Cultures, Jewish Studies and Religious Studies, Philosophy, and language- and text-based research in the Social and Political Sciences. From the outset, 26 data centres will participate in Text+ that are technically sound and that are highly regarded in their fields of specialisation. They will provide data, tools, and services for the analysis and re-use of research data across a broad range of disciplines. By grouping data, tools, and services into thematic clusters, an optimal bundling is achieved. There are 34 institutions participating in Text+ that represent the communities addressed by Text+ as broadly as possible: research libraries, universities, Digital Humanities data centres as well as members of the Union of German Academies of Arts and Sciences and of the Leibniz Society. In addition, leading computing centres ensure robust and persistent operation of services for a distributed research data infrastructure. The high level of interest in Text+ is not only evidenced by the substantial in-kind contributions by the Text+ partner institutions, but is also documented by the more than 120 research-driven user stories and by the large number of letters of support from the communities of interest participating in Text+. At the heart of the governance structure are three scientific coordination committees for the data domains and one for the infrastructure. Their task is to continuously evaluate the portfolio of data, tools and services and to promote its further development according to the priorities of the participating disciplines in coordination with the infrastructure providers. The research data management strategy of Text+ is the core instrument for achieving the main objectives of Text+ in the NFDI context. It paves the way for the integration of data, tools and services into an infrastructure that meets relevant standards and implements the FAIR and CARE principles.

This deliverable summarises the activities within Task 3.3. that were led by CLARIN ERIC with the main partners CLARIN/Athena, CLARIN/CUNI, and DARIAH/UGOE, and additional collaboration with SciencesPo. Over the course of M1-M38 the partners developed three demonstration scenarios that highlight the value of NLP (Natural Language Processing) technologies for the SSH field and investigated which aspects of the outcomes of T3.3. and in which form can be shared via SSH Open Marketplace. Three types of scenarios include: (1) Application of TDM (Text Data Mining) to large bodies of multilingual texts on the use case of processing Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs); (2) Integration of linguistic analysis for information extraction into SSH tasks on the use case of verbal aggression detection in the context of social media. (3) TDM handling of heterogeneous data on the use case of processing the intertextuality phenomena in European drama history. All use cases work with data in multiple languages, and created pipelines take this multilinguality into account. The outcome of the demonstrations are stored to be accessed after the end of the project as online code notebooks and a workflow on SSH Open Marketplace (use case 1), service in the EOSC portal (use case 2), and a set of python scripts on the publicly accessible GitHub pages and a workflow on SSH Open Marketplace (use case 3)., Approved by EC - 27 April 2022

DARIAH-DE is one of the initial national nodes of the DARIAH-ERIC and was continued via project-based funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in three phases from 2011 to 2019. During this long period many important services were created and maintained. Apart from the actual production and creation of new services a concept to measure the service life cycle and the impact of each service was developed. In 2019 DARIAH-DE partly merged into CLARIAH-DE and was continued as an operating cooperation by most of the initial partners until 2021. The challenges of sustainability, changing funding programs and a highly dynamic and heterogeneous community are leading us to an exciting future.

„Ehre“ ist im Kontext religiös motivierter Auseinandersetzungen zwischen radikalisierten Fundamental-Islamisten und der westlich-christlichen Welt offenbar eine weiterhin schwierige Frage. Dabei glaubte man diese Dichotomie, die sich auf Orient und Okzident bezieht, in der öffentlichen Debatte überwunden zu haben. Ohne an dieser Stelle auf die Medienberichterstattung bezüglich sogenannter Ehrenmorde in westlichen Gesellschaften mit verschiedenen Migrations-hintergründen eingehen zu können, noch die in Teilen problematische Haltung einer als ‚zivilisiert‘ und ‚westlich‘ definierten Gesellschaft gegenüber einer aufgrund ihrer Ehrkonzepte als ‚primitiv‘ und ‚barbarisch‘ definierten Gesellschaft im allgemeinen diskutieren zu können, fragt die vorliegende Studie mit Ansätzen aus Anthropologie, Philosophie und Gender Studies nach der Ehre-Beziehung der Geschlechter in einigen literarischen Beispielen vom 16.-17. Jahrhundert (Calderón, Tirso de Molina, Shakespeare, Molière) über das 19. Jahrhundert (Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe) bis zum 20. Jahrhundert (Lorca)., apropos [Perspektiven auf die Romania], Nr. 3 (2019): Beziehungsweise(n) – Affektive Relationen und Relationalität in den romanischen Kulturen
