CLARIAH-DE

CLARIAH-DE is the merger of the two research infrastructure networks CLARIN-D and DARIAH-DE. As part of the project, the two established research infrastructures were merged over two years (2019-2021).

CLARIAH-DE was a contribution to the digital research infrastructure for the humanities and related disciplines. By merging the CLARIN-D and DARIAH-DE consortia, CLARIAH-DE has created added value for researchers by further developing existing services along the FAIR principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability and making them jointly available. The portfolio includes the sustainable provision of research data, technical infrastructures, digital tools and virtual research environments for the humanities, information and training materials as well as handouts on standards and procedures.

The project was divided into six work packages:

AP 1 – Forschungsdaten, Standards und Verfahren
AP 2 – Werkzeuge und virtuelle Forschungsumgebungen
AP 3 – Kompetenzvermittlung und Nachwuchsförderung
AP 4 – Technische Vernetzung und Koordination der technischen Entwicklungen
AP 5 – Community-Engagement: Outreach/Dissemination und Liaison
AP 6 – Organisatorische Infrastruktur/Geschäftsstellen

CLARIAH-DE provides building blocks for a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and was an important pioneer of the NFDI consortium Text+ for language and text-based research data, which focuses in particular on digital collections and corpora, lexical resources and dictionaries as well as editions. CLARIAH-DE promotes the visibility, collaboration and networking of researchers in an international context and is part of the European Research Consortia (ERIC) CLARIN and DARIAH.

The implementation and development of CLARIAH-DE was ensured by the interlocking of strategic, operational and participatory committees. Together, the committees strike a balance between the technical infrastructure requirements and the research-driven needs of science. Overall coordination is the joint responsibility of the Göttingen State and University Library and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.
