The way researchers in the arts and humanities disciplines work has changed significantly. Research can no longer be done in isolation as an increasing number of digital tools and certain types of knowledge are required to deal with research material. Research questions are scaled up and we see the emergence of new infrastructures to address this change. The DigitAl Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) is an open international network of researchers within the arts and humanities community, which revolves around the exchange of experiences and the sharing of expertise and resources. These resources comprise not only of digitised material, but also a wide variety of borndigital data, services and software, tools, learning and teaching materials. The sustaining, sharing and reuse of resources involves many different parties and stakeholders and is influenced by a multitude of factors in which research infrastructures play a pivotal role. This article describes how DARIAH tries to meet the requirements of researchers from a broad range of disciplines within the arts and humanities that work with (born-)digital research data. It details approaches situated in specific national contexts in an otherwise large heterogeneous international scenario and gives an overview of ongoing efforts towards a convergence of social and technical aspects.

“…DARIAH recognizes this, and thus a key feature of its provisions is a virtual "social marketplace", a framework that offers projects such as TextGrid and TEXTvre a forum for exchanging such tools and services, and that supports advanced collaboration across diverse networks and specialized service providers. As detailed by Blanke et al (2011), such a marketplace has three main pillars:…”

“…It is an open environment where services can be exchanged, but of course in any such environment trust is a major issue, and some kind of compliance framework is required to ensure the quality of the exposed services. Within the DARIAH community, a service can simply be documented without certification, in which case users cannot assume that it is reliable, or else it can be fully certified as compliant by the DARIAH organization (Blanke et al 2011). Compliance with DARIAH guidelines ensures that data and services can be contributed by decentralized parties while at the same time ensuring that they are both accessible and trustable across the DARIAH ecosystem.…”

“…While variety is to be expected at this level, the diversity of local and national data services will be brought together into a common European data layer through a toolkit of lightweight services that allows, for example, cross-referencing and discovery across various data repositories. The existing DARIAH Persistent Identification (PID) service is a good example of such a lightweight solution (Blanke et al 2011). DARIAH recognized early on that the use of PIDs within the new infrastructure is imperative; when a researcher cites an article or dataset, whether digitally or in hardcopy, they need to be assured that the citation itself will always lead to the original resource cited.…”

International audienceIn recent years, a variety of initiatives have been funded with the aim of producing software tools or environments of a type variously known as virtual research environments, research infrastructures, or cyberinfrastructures. These initiatives vary in their scale, specialization, scope, and level of funding. One issue that they face in common, however, is that of sustainability: how can the continued--and useful--existence of a system or tool be guaranteed, or at least facilitated, once a project's funding has been spent? In this paper, we examine how such sustainability has been enabled, in the particular case of infrastructures for textual scholarship, in the context of three international projects: TextGrid,1 TEXTvre,2 and DARIAH3. Firstly, we will address the inter-project collaboration and crossfertilization between TextGrid and TEXTvre, including architectural decisions and shared data infrastructures, and investigate how the projects benefited from the exchange. We will then discuss how this existing collaboration can be taken forward by the loosely-coupled and distributed framework being developed by the DARIAH community, and how it can serve as a model for the sort of collaborations that DARIAH plans to enable

“…TextGrid 2010), DARIAH (http://www.dariah.eu/), CLARIN (http://www.clarin.eu/ external/), and the Canadian Writers Research Collaboratory (CWRC, http:// www.cwrc.ca/). Projects of this kind must all confront a central set of strategic concerns and design challenges, including questions about how much uniformity to impose upon the data, how to accommodate variation, how to create interoperability layers and tools that can operate meaningfully across multiple data sets (Blanke et al 2011), and how to manage issues of sustainability (of both the data and the service itself). TAPAS is distinctive within this landscape because of its focus on a single form of data (TEI-encoded research materials) and also because of its initial emphasis on serving an underserved constituency (scholars at smaller or underresourced institutions) rather than on providing an infrastructure that can operate comprehensively.…”
