WORKSHOP: "Accessing Digital Humanities Research on the Cultural Heritage"

Accessing research data is fundamental to scholars in any scientific field. While several infrastructures, models, and frameworks exist to support findability and access to scholarly data, it is still hard to fully appreciate the landscape of Digital Humanities research.

Current data models for describing research products lack terms for describing peculiar endeavours in the Humanities (e.g. Digital Scholarly Editions) and platforms for accessing scholarly data rarely offer means for retrieving and analysing the wealth of interdisciplinary information that connects research products to the Cultural Heritage artefacts they are related to.

The objective of the workshop is to discuss strategies, practices, and models adopted in the broad Digital Humanities community. Five speakers will focus on good practices, existing solutions, and research lines that effective Open Access scholarly metadata in the Digital Humanities would foster. Secondly, a session will be dedicated to the presentation of the DH-ATLAS project and to hands-on activities. Participants will be using the DH-ATLAS data model and DH-ATLAS web prototype for the description of DH research products and projects, contributing to create the open graph of Digital Humanities projects on the Italian Cultural Heritage.
