Humanities at Scale Work packages 5,6,7 and 8 meet in Goettingen. The two-day event takes place from May 18-19. On the first day of the (internal) meeting presentations will give an overview of first results and the progress made in the project so far. The second day is reserved for working sessions.

The mentioned work packages focus on enhancing the DARIAH infrastructure. Their tasks are to improve DARIAH services and tools as well as their accessibility, and pursue the development of an open data infrastructure. Below you find a short description of the participating work packages.

Work package 5 “Integrating and Scaling National DARIAH Contributions” Work Package 5 will establish a DARIAH-space (online tool), to assess, evaluate and visualise national DARIAH in-kind contributions.

Work package 6 “Supporting the Lifecycle of Digital Humanities Basic Services” Work Package 6 will enhance the DARIAH infrastructure by focussing on central services that are easy to use and able to support future research projects in the humanities. This includes development, hosting, and collaboration services (e.g. Git, Etherpad, etc.).

Work package 7 “Open Data Infrastructure” Work Package 7 will develop an open data platform for European researchers in the arts and humanities.

Work package 8 “Open Methods Infrastructure” Instead of centralising a registry resource work package 8 will develop a range of tools and services to embed the methods’ descriptions directly in the project (websites) that have developed them and final insert them in traditional forms of publications in the humanities in order to achieve better recognition by peers.
