Point of departure
Problem statement
Solution proposal
Humanities data is often text or text-like phenomena & often in semi-structured formats
There are standards for markup, coding, metadata, but they are not widely known and discipline-specific
A lot of resources are invested in creating DSEs
They are aimed to be used widely across academic, cultural heritage, educational and cultural institutions and society at large
In Norway, there are no national or international solutions for long-term archiving of DSE data, systems and user interfaces, for data accessibility, for operation of systems
Cannot guarantee access to and reuse of humanities data after project end
Valuable and precious data in outdated, unusable or legacy systems with no one to host, maintain and further develop
Non-Norwegian/Scandinavian materials will not be systematically indexed, archived, or kept accessible by large cultural heritage institutions like National Libary or National Archives
Expertise in long-term preservation, accessibility, and curation of cultural heritage material
Strong focus on data management and FAIR & CARE principles
Longer-term strategy
