2. Overview ESFRI Background and Progress DARIAH as an integrating activity/scaling national projects EU platform: Results to date

3. www.dariah.eu ESFRI, ERIC’s, etc. Background

4. Operational Construction Transitional Preparatory Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH)

5. Sharing Digital Arts and Humanities Knowledge Long-established tradition of digital arts and humanities research in Europe Lots of projects but nothing to connect and sustain their results Sharing Knowledge beyond the narrower community

6. Sharing means self- organization: For researchers by researchers Sharing not just resources: An infrastructure is about connecting people, data and computation Infrastructure as a collection of shared services Sharing with outsiders: DARIAH as a platform People Data Computation People Data Computation Digital Literary Studies Digital Medieval Studies Sharing Digital Arts and Humanities Knowledge

7. ESFRI European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI)

8. Total Costs: ca. 45.000 Mio Euro

9. 2006: DARIAH included in the ESFRI Roadmap 2008 – 2011: Preparatory Phase project, Preparing DARIAH 2011 – 2013: ‘Transition Phase’, establishing the DARIAH-ERIC, integrating national activities A quick history of DARIAH

10. DARIAH on the ESFRI Roadmap Multi-national collaborations –Organised as a legal entity called ERIC –Need member states to pay fees for the sustained infrastructure Budget: >€4m per year Distributed: Several national projects with a relatively small European organisation (~10-20%)

11. Towards DARIAH ERIC Founding Membership Austria Croatia Denmark France (Host Country) Germany Greece Italy – new ! Ireland Luxembourg The Netherlands Slovenia Serbia Italy, MoU signature: National Research Council (CNR) & Ministry of Culture: 27 Feb 2013

12.

28. Cross-fertilization with affiliated projects The CENDARI example What does CENDARI get from DARIAH? DARIAH-DE technical environment (e.g. virtual machine, long-term archiving, wiki) Expertise in data modeling and standards for (meta-) data interoperability Sustainability plan for CENDARI results How does DARIAH benefit from CENDARI? Close links with historians, their research questions and methods Access to a wide network of European archives Good practices in formats and standards for archival description (EAG, EAC, EAD)
