Supporting and enhancing digitially enabled research.

The Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) aims to develop and maintain an infrastructure in support of ICT-based research practices across the arts and humanities, acting as a trusted intermediary between disciplines and domains. DARIAH is working with communities of practice to:


  • Apply and explore ICT-based methods and tools to enable new research questions to be asked and old questions to be posed in new ways

  • Link distributed digital source materials of many kinds

  • Manage and provide access to digital research collections

  • Exchange knowledge, expertise, methodologies and practices across domains and disciplines

The preparatory phase project will construct two demonstrators:


  • an exemplary Service-Oriented Architecture based on the “Archaeological Records of Europe - Networked Access” (ARENA).

  • an exemplary digital archive to showcase DARIAH as an infrastructure that offers sustained access to arts and humanities research results in various formats. The archive will be based on the collections at the Nordisk Forskningsinstitut, Denmark among others.
