DARIAH
DARIAH-EU is the "Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities"; which legal form is an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium). The blocks composing the research infrastructure build on national initiatives.
Digital research methods are a fundamental part of the mainstream of humanities, arts and social sciences research. The digital arts and humanities are at a critical point in the transition from a specialty area to a full-fledged community with a common set of methods, sources of evidence and infrastructure. All of these are necessary for achieving academic and data driven scientific recognition. Information and data- intensive, distributed, collaborative and multidisciplinary research is now the norm in many scientific areas. The goal of DARIAH is to be an infrastructure that would ensure that the state-of-the-art of these collaborations is preserved and integrated, and that common best practices and methodological and technological standards are followed also in the field of AAI.
Currently the DARIAH community has almost 3000 active users.
