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.
Text+
Text+ has been providing infrastructure and services for text- and language-based research data since the second funding round in 2021. The consortium focuses on collections, lexical resources and editions with their respective methodological paradigms and data characteristics. This addresses the needs of linguistics, literary studies, philosophy, classical philology, anthropology, non-European cultures and languages as well as language and text-based research in the social, economic, political and historical sciences.
The Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH) for the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities and the Arts (AWK) and the Data Center for the Humanities (DCH) at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Cologne are involved in the consortium. With Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Andreas Speer, the CCeH also provides the spokesperson for the data domain Editions.
