Metadata for the Humanities – a use case from ÖAW Lately, we have observed a new drive and considerable enthusiasm at the Academy: many new digital humanities projects are starting at the numerous humanities institutes. Very diverse in their nature and goals, they all have one thing in common: the need to discover, describe and manage research data both pre-existing and newly created in the course of their projects. Being part of a wide range of diverse communities of practice, the researchers need to be able to structure this information in a diverse array of formats. The newly created institute ACDH-OEAW is dedicated to support these digital humanities projects, providing technical expertise and consulting regarding conceptualisation and modelling of data. In this presentation, we want to share our experiences, discussing the encountered metadata formats, issues and the implications for repositories and research infrastructures.
