What DARIAH is not... • It is not primarily a network of data archives as is CESSDA • It is not primarily focused on a single discipline area as is CLARIN • It is not primarily an aggregator of cultural heritage content as is EUROPEANA • It is not primarily a network of research publications repositories as is DRIVER • Although it will interact and collaborate with all of the above...
What DARIAH is... • DARIAH = Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities • Aims to develop and maintainan infrastructure in support of ICT-basedresearch practices across the arts and humanities

Scholars and research data • “The coolest thing you can do with your data, will bethought of by somebody else” (WoCRIG) • Encourage researchers to publish their data: accessibilityplus re-usability of research data • Across political boundaries and disciplines • Register my data • Support researchers in developing new/old researchquestions, e.g. quantitative analysis: • Text mining, data visualization… • Research Data Infrastructure … driven by scholars!
How will we achieve this? • An interoperability layer that connects resource providers, also to outside providers such is Bamboo • A package of software and consultancy/training, which supports emerging DARIAH centres in establishing their own technology environment quickly • Technical consultancy and tutorials that help existing humanities data archives to link their systems into the DARIAH network
