Make your digital research more sustainable and visible: Data Sharing and Data Management Techniques & Tools for Digital Medievalists

Due to the digital transformation of research practices, for Medievalists, activities and issues around planning, organizing, storing, and sharing data and other research results and products (e.g. digitized source materials, analysis results, web applications) play an increasing role.

Knowledge and skills acquired in this workshop, will support the participants in the production of reusable, machine-readable data, a key prerequisite for conducting effective and sustainable projects adhering the FAIR (Findable, Reusable, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles as promoted by the European Commission and national funding agencies within the framework of Open Science/Open Scholarship. There will be also to discuss barriers and needs and how to overcome them. The summarized (anonymous) results of this workshop will be reported back to relevant infrastructures and made public for funders e.g. in a blogpost, project deliverable etc.

Workshop Topics:

• Theoretical reflections on the role of data within humanities research,
• Opportunities and challenges of digital practices within the Arts and Humanities,
• Implementation of the FAIR principles and relevant standards,
• Basics of Research Data Management Planning & tools (e.g. RDMO – Research Data Management Organizer, https://rdmorganiser.github.io/) and further information resources,
• Discussion of needs and next steps.

Participants should bring their own laptop. No special previous knowledge or programming skills are required.
