The Developing Needs for e-infrastructures Professor John Wood, Chair, JISC Committee for the Support of Research
ESFRI E urope an S trate gy F orum o n Research Infrastructures What is ESFRI? • The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures • Brings together representatives of the 27 Member States,5 Associated States, and one representative of the European Commission (EC) • Projects must be “open access” and genuinely Pan-European or Global
Social Science and Humanities 6 Projects CLARIN CESSDA EROHS ESS SHARE DARIAH
CLARIN Social Science and Humanities • Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure • language resources and technology available and useful to scholars of all disciplines, in particular the humanities and social sciences • harmonise structural and terminological differences • based on a Grid-type of infrastructure and by using Semantic Web technology www.mpi.nl/clarin
CESSDA Social Science and Humanities • Council of European Social Science Data Archives • distributed RI that provides and facilitates access of researchers to high quality data and supports their use • now 21 countries in Europe • 15,000 data collections • access to over 20,000 researchers www.nsd.uib.no/cessda
DARIAH Social Science and Humanities • Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities) • based upon an existing network of Data Centres and Services based in Germany (Max Planck Society), France (CNRS), the Netherlands (DANS) and the United Kingdom (AHDS) • bring essential cultural heritage online. www.dariah.eu
SHARE Social Science and Humanities • Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe • fact‑based economic and social science analyses of the on-going changes in Europe due to population ageing • will be expanded to all 27 member States of the EU. www.share-project.org
