Text+

Project start: 10/2021 – Project end: ongoing

Short description of the project

Text+ is a consortium of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Text+ aims to preserve text and speech-based research data in the long term, initially focusing on data domains such as collections, lexical resources, and editions. Since October 1, 2021, Text+ has been funded for an initial period of five years.

Project content

The three data domains—collections, lexical resources, and editions—are among the classical fields of humanities research. The plus sign in the project name indicates that Text+ includes not only research data of textual media but also those of spoken language and multimodal data. Framing these three data domains is the Task Area Infrastructure/Operation (abbreviated as IO). IO is responsible for the basic infrastructure and interoperability of services and data, both within and beyond Text+.
