  KATI - Katasterdokumente

  Das Projekt Pro-Kat-Digital – Die Protokolle des Franziszeischen Katasters in Tirol. Digitalisierung-Sicherung-Aufbereitung (KATI-digital) wird vom Land Tirol als Leuchtturmprojekt im Bereich Digitalisierung finanziert und in den Jahren 2019 bis 2021 realisiert. Projektpartner sind die Universität Innsbruck und die Europäische Genossenschaft READ-COOP SCE mit Unterstützung des Bundesamts für Eich- und Vermessungswesen, des Tiroler Landesarchivs sowie des Tiroler Bildungsforums. Im Projekt Pro-Kat-Digital werden die Urmappen (Kartenblätter) des Franziszeischen Katasters und die dazugehörigen Detailvermessungsoperate (Protokolle) für eine breite Öffentlichkeit im Internet zugänglich gemacht und die darin enthaltenen Informationen erschlossen und miteinander verschränkt. Es handelt sich für das heutige Bundesland Tirol um 7.650 Mappenblätter (ca. 22 pro Katastralgemeinde) und etwa 160.000 Seiten Protokolle (ca. 457 pro Katastralgemeinde). Die Protokolle enthalten neben den Grund- und Bauparzellenprotokollen ein alphabetisches Verzeichnis, Grenzbeschreibungen, ein Häuser- und Flurnamenverzeichnis, einen Bodennutzungsausweis, etc. Die digitalisierten Mappenblätter und die Grund- und Bauparzellenprotokolle liegen – sortiert nach Katastralgemeinden – in dieser Webplattform zur Bearbeitung auf. Ziel ist es, durch die Markierung der Parzellennummern sowohl in der Urmappe als auch in den Protokollen eine Verschränkung zwischen den beiden Quellen zu erreichen. Damit wird die Voraussetzung für weitere wissenschaftliche Auswertungen, aber auch für Nutzungen durch die Öffentlichkeit geschaffen. Ab Herbst 2020 sind daher alle Ortschronist\*innen und andere Interessierte dazu eingeladen, jeweils ihre Gemeinde zu bearbeiten. Das große Ziel einer möglichst flächendeckenden Verknüpfung von Urmappe und Protokollen kann nur von vielen Händen gestemmt werden! Vertiefende Informationen zum Franziszeischen Kataster und zum Projekt sind in der Zeitschrift Tiroler Chronist, Ausgabe Nr. 155/156 (2020), nachzulesen! Weitere, allgemeine Informationen zum Franziszeischen Kataster können unter der Adresse www.franziszeischerkataster.at abgerufen werden. The Pro-Kat-Digital project – The records of the Franciscan cadastre in Tyrol. Digitization, preservation, and processing (KATI-digital) is funded by the province of Tyrol as a flagship project in the field of digitization and will be implemented between 2019 and 2021. The project partners are the University of Innsbruck and the European cooperative READ-COOP SCE, with support from the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying, the Tyrolean State Archives, and the Tyrolean Education Forum. The Pro-Kat-Digital project makes the original cadastral maps ("Urmappen") and detailed survey records (protocols) of the Franziszeischer Kataster publicly accessible online. For Tyrol, this includes 7,650 map sheets and around 160,000 pages of records, featuring parcel data, indexes, boundary descriptions, house and field names, and land use certificates. The digitized materials are organized by cadastral municipality and can be edited via a web platform. The goal is to link maps and records by matching plot numbers, enabling deeper research and public use. Since fall 2020, local historians and volunteers are invited to contribute. The major goal of linking the original map and records as comprehensively as possible can only be achieved with many hands! More detailed information on the Franciscan cadastre and the project can be found in the magazine Tiroler Chronist, issue no. 155/156 (2020)! Further general information on the Franciscan cadastre can be found at www.franziszeischerkataster.at.

  Creative Commons Lizenzen bei Digitalen Editionen

  EMPFEHLUNGEN OPEN ACCESS Als Open Access Standard, mithin als «echte» Open-Access Lizenzen, gelten bei digitalen Editionen nur CC-0, CC-BY und CC-BY-SA. Der Zusatz NC (Non Commercial) etwa schränkt die Nachnutzbarkeit bereits so stark ein, dass nicht mehr von «Open Access Publikationen/Daten» gesprochen werden kann. Diese Auslegung entspricht auch den Grundsätzen des SNF, der für jede Einschränkung der Nutzungsrechte, die über CC-BY hinausgeht, eine Begründung erwartet. Wir empfehlen deshalb, wenn immer möglich die Verwendung von CC-BY. RECOMMENDATIONS OPEN ACCESS Only CC-0, CC-BY, and CC-BY-SA are considered open access standards, i.e., “genuine” open access licenses, for digital editions. The addition of NC (Non Commercial), for example, restricts reusability to such an extent that it can no longer be referred to as “open access publications/data.” This interpretation is also in line with the principles of the SNSF, which expects justification for any restriction of usage rights that goes beyond CC-BY. We therefore recommend the use of CC-BY whenever possible.

  3M - Mapping Memory Manager

  Mapping Memory Manager (3M) is a free online application developed by the ICS-FORTH team (Heraklion, Greece). 3M allows the matching of data in XML format with ontologies, in particular CIDOC CRM and its extensions, in order to bring these data to the Semantic Web. This mapping enables data to be exported in standard formats adapted to the Semantic Web, such as Turtle, RDFS and N-Triple. To achieve this goal, 3M uses two main languages: XPath, for exploring an XML tree to retrieve, select and return data ; X3ML, for using triplet templates to structure XML data file in output XML file in Turtle, RDFS or N-Triple format.

  Coordinating the European Research Area: the role of ERICs and national stakeholders - strengthening the Social Sciences and Humanities

  Concerning the role of ERICs for the coordination of the European Research Area, there seem to be two trends visible, partly orthogonal to each other:  (1) More and more disciplines, specialties, and interdisciplinary networks form their own alliances in the European Research Areas. We thus see more ERICs emerging.  (2) On the other hand, methods are shared across many fields in the SSH - even reaching out to STEM fields -  and so coalitions are formed and infrastructures are set up for both Social Sciences and Humanities - to take one example. There is a certain tension between the increase in variety of networks and the merging of networks into super-structures.    There are many good reasons to reflect on this more systematically. Formation of networks comes with costs, so there is a limit of how many networks can actually co-exist. National and European funding might grow, but not to the extent of fostering all emerging ERICs and other cross-disciplinary networks. However, niches are important to be able to exist further as innovation tends to grow in niches first. Therefore, too stringent centralisation and standardisation of governance for the sake of effectiveness may be counterproductive when it comes to fostering innovation.  The Netherlands, with its landscape of varied institutional, platform, and funding instruments, carries a lot of thoughts and tacit knowledge on how to balance between variety and selection. Parts of the social sciences are collaborating within the ODISSEI-project (https://odissei-data.nl/en/) while parts of the humanities are collaborating within CLARIAH (https://www.clariah.nl/). Together, social sciences and humanities are collaborating within SSHOC-NL (video https://edu.nl/xxtb7; https://edu.nl/jt39x). The Thematic Digital Competence Cluster SSH adds to the landscape by bringing the SSH domain together and strengthening their research infrastructures. Internationally, collaborations are also taking place within the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Science Cluster, which encompasses a series of EOSC-projects and dataspaces. This workshop aims to address opportunities and challenges which emerge in this dynamic and rich landscape.

  Performing Arts Thesaurus

  During its second phase (2024–2025), the THEATRALIA working group has developed a prototype of a multilingual thesaurus for the performing arts. Covering theatre, dance, performance, and circus arts, the thesaurus is for now available only in English, with future extensions planned in French, Spanish, Croatian, Portuguese and Indonesian. It provides a coherent conceptual framework to support the description, indexing, and interoperability of archival resources, foster multilingual database research, and promote the valorization of intangible cultural heritage. This prototype marks an exploratory step toward a shared, evolving tool, open to contributions from researchers and professionals. The thesaurus in progress can be downloaded here: https://hal.science/halshs-05156229v1 The project is carried out within two international research initiatives: THEATRALIA, supported by DARIAH-EU, and PERFORMA, funded by the Institut des Amériques. For implementation, OpenTheso, was used, an open-source, RDF-compatible platform hosted by HumaNum, balancing usability and interoperability. The initial corpus was built from online glossaries (American Association of Community Theatre, Theatre Development Fund) and printed dictionaries, mainly those by Patrice Pavis, which have been translated into several languages. After extraction and normalization, about 1,400 terms were integrated into OpenTheso, including around 100 entries with fully developed, context-specific definitions for performing arts archiving and research.

  Dublin Core for Performing Arts

  The Dublin Core for Performing Arts (DCPA) is a digital description language model specifically designed for performing arts archives. It aims to establish a common framework for describing performing arts collections while adhering to the FAIR principles—ensuring that data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The Dublin Core for Performing Arts (DCPA) was developed by the THEATRALIA Working Group (DARIAH-ERIC) during its second phase, titled Performing Arts: Navigating through Digital Knowledge Models (2024–2025). You can download the DCPA here: https://hal.science/hal-05214127 The Dublin Core for Performing Arts (DCPA), developed by the THEATRALIA Working Group (DARIAH-ERIC), addresses the wide variation in vocabularies and metadata schemas used internationally in performing arts archives. Many practitioners lack expertise in archival standards and often create non-standardized descriptive systems, hindering data interoperability. To tackle these issues, THEATRALIA developed a common digital description model based on the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI). To design this model, the THEATRALIA Working Group has built upon the Dublin Core Set, which provides 15 standardized metadata fields for a simple yet effective archival framework. Recognizing the complexity of performing arts archives, the group has also considered the more detailed “Qualified Dublin Core” (DCTERMS) to allow greater flexibility and customization. Performing arts collections include diverse materials—from paper documents to digital assets—requiring a tailored approach. This framework integrates core Dublin Core elements while allowing users to select only the fields relevant to their specific archival needs, ensuring both consistency and flexibility.
