DARIAH Theme 2017: “Cultural Heritage and Humanities Research”
In 2017 DARIAH further explored the possible expectations of both cultural heritage institutions and researchers in the arts and humanities of what a closer working relationship might look like. The DARIAH Theme, therefore, sought to bring cultural heritage institutions and researchers together in order to explore a variety of possible issues related to the expression of attribution and licenses, technical formats and recommendations for facilitating re-use, dissemination and hosting, etc. Such events contributed to enriching the data re-use charter itself with additional or more precise features, but also addressed the issues at the heart of the charter without directly engaging with it.
