  1. Research & Development Department (RDD) New tasks, new roles: Libraries in the tension between Digital Humanities, Research Data, and Research InfrastructuresDr. Stefan Schmunk | Jasná, 3rd April 2017 @DARIAHde @StefanSchmunk

  2. Overview – Agenda • Introduction • Digital Humanities: DARIAH-DE and TextGrid • Research Data in theArtsand Humanities • Digital Scholarly Editions asnewtasksfor Research Libraries • Conclusion

  3. The Research & Development Department • Largest library R&D in Germany • 2016: 30 FTE, abound 14 third-party funded projects • > 80% third-party funding • Funded in 2002 • mission: develop new infrastructure services for research

  4. Digital Humanities – an interdisciplinary approach Digital Humanities = Applied digital enabled research in the Arts and Humanities Arts and Humanities & Social Science Computer Science Libraries & Archives – Information Science

  5. funding: 2011-2019 • Continousoperation after 2019 • fundedby • about 15 m euros • consortiumof17 partners: universities, researchinstitutions, computingcentres, libraries, AcademyofSciencesand Humanities, SME, NGO • funding: 2006-2015 (integration in DARIAH-DE) • funded by • about 8 m euros • consortium of 10 partners: universities, research institutions, computing centre, library, Academy of Sciences and Humanities, SME www.de.dariah.eu www.textgrid.de 07/01/2020

  6. … supports digitally-enabled research and teaching in the arts and humanities • Teaching • Research • Research Data • Technical Infrastructure … supports the creation of digital editions in the humanities and cultural studies • Tools for text enrichment and annotation • Repository for long term preservation • Training and education  Research driven and conceptualized as an architecture of participation 07/01/2020

  7. DARIAH-DE – four main tasks Teaching (support, training) • Workshops on methods,expert colloquia, Summer Schools • Coordination of national and international curricular developments Research Data (research data collections, research data management) • Best practices for metadata, standardised exchange of data, ontologies • Development of generic search, collection and schema registry • Development of a tool based federation architecture for research data Research (DH & Information Science) • DH methods and practices • Use Cases: Annotation, Big Data • Tools and services • Bibliography Doing Digital Humanities Technical Infrastructure (development and provision of infrastructural services) • collaborative research environments, virtual machines, monitoring, authentication and authorization infrastructure etc.

  8. Research Data – Arts and Humanities Definition Research Data “By research data in the Arts and Humanities is meant all those sources and outputs that are based on a research question, collected either by scholars, libraries, archives or any other institution, which may be described, evaluated and/or generated and stored in machine-readable form for analyzing, archiving purposes, citability, and for further processing.”

  9. Research Data – Arts and Humanities Metadata, bibliographical data, finding aids Digital and/ordigitizeddataand/or digital representationof analog data Digital objects(toolgenerateddata) Fulltext, transcripts Enrichedfulltext Images, movies, music & notes Authority files, controlledvocabularies, ontologies ...

  10. Example: Epigraphical Database Research Data Collection – epidat • Data: 30.000 inscriptions of more than 130 Jewish cemeteries in Germany and the Netherlands (1050-2000) • Contains: Digitized Data, transcripts, maps, photographs, and archival sources • Methods: Visual Analytics, Named-Entity-Recognition, Temporal-Spatial Visualization Source: http://www.steinheim-institut.de/cgi-bin/epidat?info=edv&art=art6

  11. Example: Epigraphical Database Scholarly Edition – synoptical view of inscriptions Symbols Photography Burial site Further information about Epidat: Thomas Kollatz kol@steinheim-institut.org

  12. Epidat: Data-Visualisation • DARIAH-DE Geo-Browser • Visualisationofdata, sets, andcollection • Temporal-Spatial-Contextualisation • Open Source toolas a serviceforthecommunity www.geobrowser.de.dariah.eu Source: http://www.steinheim-institut.de/cgi-bin/epidat?info=e4d&lang=de

  13. What is the situation for the Digital Humanities? Research data are representations of observations, objects, or other entities used as evidence of phenomena for the purposes of research or scholarship”C.L. Borgman (2015). Big Data, Little Data, No Data: Scholarship in the Networked World. New challenges in the Humanities dealing with Research data concerning: • Discovering data • Access to data • Extended search strategies for data • Using data tools (and generating data) • Linking articles with data  enhanced publications 07/01/2020

  14. Tool-oriented approach ...Building a Data Federation Architecture No Silos Interoperability! https://de.dariah.eu/data-federation-architecture 07/01/2020

  15. Repositories for the Arts and Humanities Archive, store, preserve, but also: explore, find, analyzeand visualize DARIAH-DE Repository TextGrid Repository https://de.dariah.eu/publish https://textgridrep.org Integrating existing tools Analyze and visualize Data e.g. Voyant Tools 07/01/2020

  16. Digital Scholarly Edition Theodor Fontane‘s Notebooks • period: 1859 - 1880s • 67 notebooks • 64 - 120 leaves each • < 10.000 pages Theodor Fontane(1819 - 1898) https://fontane-nb.dariah.eu/index.html 07/01/2020

  18. The wave Growth of Information – User requirements – e. g. : Science 2.0, collaborative networks, social media Diversity of media types and formats

  19. New Tasks for Libraries: Data, Infrastructures, and Digital Humanities • Documentation of research data for replication and detection of fraud • Sharing and publication of research data: „old“ data for new research • Building up research infrastructures for scientist • Keep digital data usable despite changes in technology, organisations, background knowledge, ... • Supporting researchers during the project phase (embedded data managers) Research Data observationaldata, audio, video, interviews, statisticaldata, ... Research Object Publication 07/01/2020

  20. Consequences for Libraries • Scientific Information is more than a journal article or a book • Libraries should open their catalogues to any kind of information • The catalogue of the future is NOT ONLY a window to the library‘s holding, but • A portal in a net of trusted providers of scientific content 07/01/2020

  21. „Vision 2030“ for Libraries Libraries will be ... • Data provider • Information centers (adviseandconsultscientist) • Scientific softwarehouses • Training facilities • Expertsforenhancedpublications • Hoster ofresearchinfrastructures • Research institutions in thefieldofinformationscience • Networkedinformationfacilities (open interfaces) • ... 07/01/2020

  22. It is not only a challenge … … it is an opportunity Libraries should ride the wave … 07/01/2020
