Why we have convened this panel
• Sharing of data is long established in the Humanities, but the concept of ‘research data’ in humanities scholarship is less developed
• Data stewardship is particularly relevant to DH, which often deals with large datasets, qualitative data
• Humanities data is unique (or is it?)
• RDA membership has been driven by the hard sciences and life sciences; want to increase voice of Humanities
• RDA outputs speak to best practices – community driven – so let’s make sure they are relevant to work we do.
