3 PARTHENOS-project.eu 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The PARTHENOS project empowers digital research in the fields of History, Language Studies, Cultural Heritage, Archaeology, and related fields across the (Digital) Humanities. It provides a thematic cluster of European Research Infrastructures, integrating initiatives, e-infrastructures and similar world-class infrastructures, and builds bridges between different, tightly interrelated fields. Investing in culture is investing in future!

4 PARTHENOS-project.eu 4 PARTHENOS FACTS PARTHENOS is a Horizon2020 project, funded by the EC Horizon2020 is the EU Research and Innovation Programme EC contribution to PARTHENOS: 12 million EUR PARTHENOS runs for 48 months Starting date: 1 May 2015 Closing date: 30 April 2019 PARTHENOS has a consortium of 16 partners from 9 countries Coordinator: PIN Scrl - Educational and Scientific Services for the University of Florence, Italy

5 PARTHENOS-project.eu … supports the work of the two main research infrastructures, CLARIN (language resources) and DARIAH (digital humanities), as well as various integration projects addressing cultural domains, such as ARIADNE, CENDARI and EHRI. By working together, PARTHENOS will: develop common standards to ease exploitation; coordinate joint activities among research projects; harmonize policy definition and implementation; pool methods and services; and share solutions to the same problems. 5 PARTHENOS … WHY PARTHENOS? Digital technologies have led to the creation of large digital archives, and to a variety of innovative research methodologies applicable to these archives. We are now eager to integrate these archives and new methods to support digital research.

6 PARTHENOS-project.eu … will benefit from the advanced services made available to everybody by PARTHENOS, and can have a voice in the project development by communicating their needs and wishes. Such services concern all aspects of data management, including: access to and sharing of data; management of intellectual property rights; integration of diverse datasets; tools for discovering openly available resources; guidelines, training and education. 6 Individual researchers… WHAT CAN PARTHENOS DO FOR ME? Research infrastructures enable the international scientific community to better conduct high profile research by providing integrated facilities and resources.

16 PARTHENOS-project.eu To answer more research questions more efficiently, by increasing and aligning the quality of repositories, data and metadata, by providing: A definition of shared policies and solutions throughout the research lifecycle, throughout Europe and throughout humanities disciplines, concerning issues of common interest. A definition of guidelines and best practices for supporting those common policies. Provision of an interdisciplinary research agenda and related foresights studies. 16 Objectives WP 3 – COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (1) Leader: KNAW, Hella Hollander

17 PARTHENOS-project.eu 17 WP 3 - COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (2) Overview of topics: Research Data Management Quality Assessment IPA Management, Open Access, Open Data First goal: to agree on and define the concepts of Policy, Guidelines, Best practice, their objectives and target audience. First investigations: What are the consequences of emerging approaches / new research activities / ideas? How are they connected to the data life cycle, where do they differ from current practices? What about IPR?

18 PARTHENOS-project.eu 18 WP 3 - COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (3)

19 PARTHENOS-project.eu 19 WP 4: STANDARDIZATION (1) Leader: INRIA, Laurent Romary Achievement of high-level awareness within the humanities about generally accepted digital methods and standards. Definition of a minimum common framework for standardization (the standardization survival kit). Standardization of reference resources (thesauri, gazetteers, authority lists) Definition of accepted protocols and of procedures for data production starting from material sources and experiments. Objectives Standardization Survival Kit

20 PARTHENOS-project.eu 20 WP 4: STANDARDIZATION (2) Standards in the Arts and Humanities Well established practices. Examples: - Text Encoding Initiative * Comprehensive XML vocabulary for textual documents - ISO TC 37/SC 4 portfolio * Mature set of standards for linguistic annotation - Archival standards * EAD, EAG, EAC * Governance and maintenance issues Niches to be secured: - MEI (Music Encoding Initiatives) Lacunae (or fragmentations) to overcome: - E.g. Meta-data descriptions of audio-visual data Library standards to interoperate with: - METS, MODS, FRBR descriptive framework

21 PARTHENOS-project.eu Pursuing interoperability Definition of a common semantic framework for the sector Integration of multilingual reference resources (thesauri, gazetteers, authority lists) Designing resource discovery 21 Objectives WP 5: INTEROPERABILITY AND SEMANTICS (1) Leader: FORTH, Maria Theodoridou

22 PARTHENOS-project.eu 22 WP 5: INTEROPERABILITY AND SEMANTICS (2) The scope of Work Package 5 is semantic interoperability. If technical interoperability may be achieved by standardization, agreement on meanings is required to go deeper and create an interwoven network of data, resources and researches.
