Towards an Open Access policy for digital arts and humanities in Europe:

a DARIAH vision

Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH)

To enhance and support digitally-enabled research across the arts and humanities

• 2006: DARIAH included in the ESFRI Roadmap

• 2008 – 2011: Preparatory Phase project, Preparing DARIAH

• 2011 – 2013: ‘Transition Phase’, establishing the DARIAH-ERIC, integrating national activities

A quick history of DARIAH

Towards DARIAH Founding Membership

• Austria• Croatia• Denmark• France (Host Country)• Germany• Greece• Ireland• Luxembourg• The Netherlands• Slovenia• Serbia

Challenge: Research diversity

A wide variety of research communities

Digital Archaeology

Viewing platform of the Domus Severiana on the Palatine in Rome as in its construction phase in Flavian time (about 80 CE). Visualisation of the visual axis of the Domus Severiana over the city of Rome – German Archaeological Institute

Challenge: Publication diversity

A wide range of publication formats: books, journals, conferences, academic blogs…

Hypotheses.org – academic blogs

NARCIS: Gateway to scholarly information in The Netherlands

Enhanced publications: ‘an Enhanced Publication is a new form of communication in science, where researchers make publications available online in conjunction with other material’

public funded research = a public good

DARIAH principles

Attribution is essential

Encourage systematic use of a Creative Commons CC-BY licence – supporting systematic attribution (and thus citation) of the source

academic primacy vs. increased citation

Alleviate the fear

http://www.cendari.eu/

CENDARI Data Sharing Agreement

Seamless interconnections

experimental new models which articulate seamless interconnections between blogs, digital

primary sources (from WW1 archives to musicology) and… publications

Innovation?

Scientific publication is a quickly evolving environment…

Open electronic publishing

http://www.revues.org/

Freemium

http://www.openedition.org/8873

Towards a robust repository network?

Variety of existing settings for research publications, is one single place for research output necessarily a

good thing?

HAL: Human sciences repository

http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/

OpenAIRE compliance

Towards a DARIAH repository?

Discussion points?

• Complex group of communities• Scientific publications are quickly evolving• Towards a robust repository network?
