Short description of the project

The project aggregates information on digital projects and consortia that deal with non-Latin scripts in the broadest sense. The collected data is visualized and aims to provide insights into what is necessary to improve the conditions for working with NLS in the field of Digital Humanities. Additionally, the project serves as a knowledge base for researchers who want to get an overview of the state of the field. The project makes all research data, code, and workflows available in open access via GitHub. Das Projekt stellt alle Forschungsdaten, den Code und die Workflows im Open Access über GitHub zur Verfügung.

Project content

The project is BUA-funded and based at the Seminar for Semitic and Arabic Studies. It focuses on analyzing the status quo of digital Arabic studies in the German-speaking world, but increasingly also on non-Latin scripts in general and beyond the DACH region. The target audience is researchers in the DH field before and during the project phase and individuals working on the strategic development of the scientific enterprise. The project is led by Theodor Beers and Prof. Beatrice Gründler (FU Berlin) as project leader. The project is financially supported by the BUA in the area of "Advancing Research Quality and Value". Currently, the project is in its second funding phase until 06/2026.
