Xenia Kudela; cooperation partner: Dr. Jonas Müller-Laackman, Referat für Digitale Forschungsdienste, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky; Former staff: Dr. Theodore S. Beers. Laufzeit: 10/2023-06/2026. (Continuation of the project Closing the Gap in Non-Latin Script Data I)

The project pursues three overarching goals, which include community building and the development and dissemination of best practices for the digital humanities. To this end, exemplary workflows for Open Science practices in Digital Humanities projects are being developed. Last but not least, the project seeks to contribute to the development of suitable infrastructures and research data management for Non-Latin Script sources and to develop approaches to overcoming existing technical and project-organizational obstacles. It thus makes a significant contribution to the promotion of digital humanities and the so-called "small subjects" at the BUA and beyond.

Preceding project: Closing the Gap in Non-Latin Script Data I (Duration: 01/2021-09/2023)

The project aims at the development and coordination of subject-specific infrastructures in the field of digital humanities and research data management for the group of research-intensive regional science and humanities subjects within BUA. These are characterized by heterogeneity in digital "data" in non-Latin scripts (NLS), both because of their subject matter and because of international collaborations in research and teaching. The project supports the BUA initiative "Concept Development for Collaborative Research Data Management Service" and thereby aims to embed the handling of data in non-Latin scripts in all plans to build subject-specific "data communities".
