261 F<strong>in</strong>ally, the CLARIN website provides access to newsletters, scientific publications, and extensive readable documentation 741 on the technological decisions of CLARIN. Documentation is available regard<strong>in</strong>g the development of their concept registry, component metadata, persistent identifiers, longterm preservation, standards and best practices, text encod<strong>in</strong>g, virtual collections, service-oriented architecture, and web services <strong>in</strong>teroperability. DARIAH Project DARIAH, 742 which stands for “Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities,” has been funded to “conceptualize and afterwards build a virtual bridge between different humanities and cultural heritage data resources <strong>in</strong> Europe” (Blanke 2010). The DARIAH project commenced <strong>in</strong> September 2009 and seeks to improve access to the hidden resources of archives, libraries, and museums across Europe. It completed its preparatory phase <strong>in</strong> February 2011, and is currently mov<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to the “transition phase” where it will “submit an application to the European Commission to establish a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).” 743 If this application is successful it will help to establish a legal framework that will enable the long-term susta<strong>in</strong>ability of DARIAH and they will beg<strong>in</strong> a “construction phase” <strong>in</strong> January 2012. DARIAH has also made a number of documents available as it prepares to move <strong>in</strong>to its construction phase, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g a technical report 744 on lessons learned dur<strong>in</strong>g the preparatory phase of DARIAH and a list of strategic policy documents regard<strong>in</strong>g data and data management 745 that will guide DARIAH activities <strong>in</strong> the next phase (such as <strong>in</strong> terms of data creation, collection <strong>in</strong>gest, management and preservation, and trusted digital repository compliance). DARIAH is a consortium of 14 partners from 10 countries. 746 Similar to that of CLARIN, the work of DARIAH was divided <strong>in</strong>to work packages: Project Management, Dissem<strong>in</strong>ation, Strategic Work, F<strong>in</strong>ancial Work, Governance and Logistical Work, Legal Work, Technical Reference Architecture, and Conceptual Model<strong>in</strong>g. DARIAH has explored the use of the Fedora digital repository and the iRODS data grid technology developed by the San Diego Supercomput<strong>in</strong>g Center <strong>in</strong> terms of design<strong>in</strong>g a humanities research <strong>in</strong>frastructure, and their current plan is that any <strong>in</strong>frastructure that is designed will be built on top of the “exist<strong>in</strong>g EGEE gLite <strong>in</strong>frastructure.” 747 Recently, Tobias Blanke offered a succ<strong>in</strong>ct overview of DARIAH’s basic architecture: DARIAH will <strong>in</strong>tegrate pan-European humanities research data collections by us<strong>in</strong>g advanced grid and digital repository technologies. Formally managed digital repositories for research data can provide an effective means of manag<strong>in</strong>g the complexity encountered <strong>in</strong> the humanities <strong>in</strong> general, and will take on a central and pivotal role <strong>in</strong> the research lifecycle. The DARIAH <strong>in</strong>frastructure will be fundamentally distributed and will provide arts and humanities publishers and researchers alike with a secure and customizable environment with<strong>in</strong> which to collaborate effectively and purposefully (Blanke 2010). 741 http://www.clar<strong>in</strong>.eu/external/<strong>in</strong>dex.phppage=publications&sub=3 742 http://www.dariah.eu/ 743 http://ec.europa.eu/research/<strong>in</strong>frastructures/<strong>in</strong>dex_en.cfmpg=eric 744 http://dariah.eu/<strong>in</strong>dex.phpoption=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=477&Itemid=200 745 http://dariah.eu/<strong>in</strong>dex.phpoption=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=92&Itemid=200 746 http://www.dariah.eu/<strong>in</strong>dex.phpoption=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=301&Itemid=200 747 http://technical.eu-egee.org/<strong>in</strong>dex.phpid=149
262 Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Blanke, DARIAH thus seeks to build a secure, distributed, and customizable <strong>in</strong>frastructure. Similar to TextGrid, DARIAH <strong>in</strong>tends to create a flexible architecture that is loosely coupled so other communities can also add their own services on top of it. Aschenbrenner et al. (2010) have also stated that the major strategy beh<strong>in</strong>d the DARIAH repository <strong>in</strong>frastructure is that <strong>in</strong>dividual repositories should rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dependent and evolve over time (thus rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g open), but at the same time all contents and tools provided through DARIAH should appear to researchers as if they were us<strong>in</strong>g a s<strong>in</strong>gle platform (thus a closely knit <strong>in</strong>frastructure). Various <strong>in</strong>stitutions and researchers have been <strong>in</strong>vited to contribute their content and tools to the DARIAH <strong>in</strong>frastructure, and Aschenbrenner et al. reported that they are committed to support<strong>in</strong>g reasonable levels of semantic diversity and <strong>in</strong>teroperability: L<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g diversity is at the core of Dariah’s philosophy. Discipl<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> the humanities differ greatly with regard to their resources—their data, tools, and methodologies. Moreover, <strong>in</strong>novation is sometimes associated with <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g variations <strong>in</strong>to their data, tools, or methodologies, thereby re<strong>in</strong>forc<strong>in</strong>g heterogeneity even with<strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle discipl<strong>in</strong>e. Through l<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g this diversity Dariah aims to build bridges, to enable researchers from different discipl<strong>in</strong>es or cultural backgrounds to collaborate on the same material <strong>in</strong> a common research environment, and to share their diverse perspectives and methodologies (Aschenbrenner et al. 2010). DAR IAH seeks both to learn from and be <strong>in</strong>teroperable with other repository federation <strong>in</strong>itiatives such as DRIVER and Europeana 748 and consequently has decided not to enforce rich metadata guidel<strong>in</strong>es. The project is still determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g how to deal with diversity not only among research data <strong>in</strong> the humanities but also among the different agents that will participate <strong>in</strong> the DARIAH environment (e.g., collaboration platforms, service registries, private and public archives, content or service providers, applications and data created by <strong>in</strong>dividual scholars). Aschenbrenner et al. (2010) also emphasized that <strong>in</strong>teroperability is not the same as uniformity; any <strong>in</strong>teroperability scheme used for DARIAH may differ significantly from <strong>in</strong>ternal metadata schemes used at <strong>in</strong>dividual partner sites. Currently DARIAH is work<strong>in</strong>g on “enabl<strong>in</strong>g an evolutionary metadata approach” where scholars can start with m<strong>in</strong>imum annotation and this can be extended over time by other scholars or automatically. To support the federation of a wide variety of repositories and other agents, DARIAH has created a prototype federation architecture 749 for “expos<strong>in</strong>g repository events” that is based on a “hybrid push/poll notification pattern” us<strong>in</strong>g Atom and supports “CRUD” 750 events: S<strong>in</strong>ce the Dariah environment will prospectively consist of a cont<strong>in</strong>uously grow<strong>in</strong>g number of agents that may depend on each other’s state, a notification pattern is a suitable architectural build<strong>in</strong>g block. The Atom feeds conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the events of Dariah repositories can be consumed by decentralised agents, decentralised mean<strong>in</strong>g that they only use the data available from the Atom feeds and do not plug <strong>in</strong>to any proprietary repository <strong>in</strong>terfaces. Such decentralised agents could hence be built by other <strong>in</strong>itiatives consum<strong>in</strong>g the event messages from various sources without the repositories be<strong>in</strong>g aware of them (Aschenbrenner et al. 2010). 748 http://www.europeana.eu/ 749 In addition to us<strong>in</strong>g the Atom syndication format (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287.txt), this prototype made use of the Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) (http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/) for <strong>in</strong>dividual digital object descriptions and OAI-ORE Resource Maps for the creation of aggregated objects. 750 CRUD: The creation, update, or deletion of an object <strong>in</strong> a digital repository.
