The NFDI at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Cologne
With the "Daten & Datteln" collection cards for the winter semester 2022/2023, we would like to inform you about the current developments towards a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities' involvement in this:
Since the Council for Information Infrastructures (RfII) initiated the formation of an NFDI in 2016, structures for a nationally networked research data infrastructure in Germany have been steadily advanced. The focus is on establishing an organizational and technical infrastructure for the systematic management of research data in line with the FAIR principles.
The project is being implemented by subject and/or data-driven consortia, in which subject-specific research and infrastructure institutions as well as the subject community itself are involved. The humanities are represented within the NFDI by four consortia: NFDI4Culture, Text+, NFDI4Memory and NFDI4Objects.
NFDI4Culture
Since the first funding round in 2020 NFDI4Culturehas been the first humanities consortium to receive funding. The aim of NFDI4Culture is to establish a demand-oriented infrastructure for research data on tangible and intangible cultural assets and to create joint, national structures for the sustainable safeguarding, standardization and provision of research data on cultural heritage. NFDI4Culture thus addresses a broad spectrum of disciplines ranging from architecture, art and music to theater, dance, film and media studies.
At the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cologne, the prometheus image archive is involved in NFDI4Culture as a co-applicant. In addition, the Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH)the Data Center for the Humanities (DCH) and the Theaterwissenschaftliche Sammlung (TWS) as participants in the consortium.
