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.
