Description
Data is a messy thing and it comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be generated by space-facing telescopes, deep earth probes, tiny computers, humans at a keyboard or in countless other ways; but that is only the beginning! While its sources can vary hugely, there are certainly crucial commonalities about what needs to be done to organise it, curate it and present it to the world, making it available now and preserving it for future generations. This session looks at three different projects with those common aims, no matter where the data comes from!
This presentation covers concepts, goals and technical architecture and components adopted in the National Data Storage project (NDS), conducted by PSNC together with 4 academic computing centres and 4 MAN centres in Poland, including Cracow, Gdańsk, Warsaw, Wrocław, Białystok, Częstochowa, Łódź and Kielce.
The main goal of the project is to provide a very well integrated and easy to use...
Research Data Services (RDS) is a self-hosted cross-platform interoperability layer which allows research data to be curated, prepared, and published directly from an EFSS solution. It reduces friction of FAIR data handling by seamlessly integrating into the academic workflow. Researchers can log on to their respective EFSS solutions, such as Sciebo (ownCloud) or Sunet Drive (Nextcloud) and...
Preserving cultural data and making it easier to access is of crucial importance to humanity. Unfortunately, this is ongoing work as new methods of digitisation emerge, platforms age, and new ways of sharing are found. Albania, like many other countries, wish to ensure their cultural heritage is available to all and have started work on a new digital platform. The project is led by the...
The speech will address an innovation Project in digital humanities, entitled "National Museum Inventory System (MUES)" which fosters a complete digital transformation in the cultural heritage field not only of inventorial records but also the management, research, and education procedures. We will discuss digital solutions that MUES brings to the disconnection of institutional processes,...
