Grants awarded for making Heritage Research Data more re-usable

Social Sciences and Humanities

FAIR and Open data RDM Consultancy

Humanities researchers tend to work with data derived from heritage collections, such as museums, archives or heritage libraries. Ideally, these data remain available for anybody to use for their own research interests. Often, however, when the projects which generate the data have ended, there are no means to turn the datasets into truly interoperable and reusable resources. It is therefore fortunate that the CLARIAH digital infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities has now designated funding specifically for that: curating existing heritage data sets with the aim of making them useful for a wide range of scholars.

But what are the community’s needs? A survey during the February edition of the Data Stewards Interest Group (DISG)-meeting gave insights into those needs.

NARCIS.nl will go offline from July 3rd, 2023

Contrary to earlier announcements, the NARCIS website will remain online until Monday 3 July. This was decided because it was recently announced that a number of parties need more time to make adjustments.

The technical environment as well as the content of the NARCIS website have been frozen from 9 January 2023. The NARCIS service will not be updated anymore. In case of issues, the site will have to be taken offline. For this reason, and because harvesting on behalf of NARCIS will also end then, 3 July is the deadline for phasing out.
