The last chapter of Mark is a well-known enigma of New Testament textual criticism (NTTC): at least six different endings have been listed (e.g. Focant, 2006; Clivaz 2019a). We presumed that many useful manuscripts have not yet been studied, and therefore, should be explored. This led to significant primary results that were gradually documented during our research (Monier 2019, 2021 & 2022; Clivaz 2020, 2021). To support the harvest of results, we have created a VRE in four parts (Clivaz, 2019b): the main part of the MARK16 VRE holds 55 items visualized in a Manuscript Room application (https://mr-mark16.sib.swiss), with the code on Github (https://github.com/sib-swiss/dh-mr-mark16). Prepared in collaboration with the New Testament Virtual Manuscript Room (INTF, Münster), it provides folios of Mark 16 from ancient manuscripts in ten ancient languages. More than 20 international colleagues are MARK16 partners, and data have been nominally published in Nakala, the Huma-Num open public repository (https://mark16-snsf-prima-project.nakala.fr). The second part, Interpretations, presents scholarly individual opinions on Mark’s endings from the team and some colleagues (https://mark16-etalk.sib.swiss/search.php). It uses the tool eTalk, with the API on Github (https://github.com/sib-swiss/etalk-docker). The third part, Material, presents relevant material from the printed and digital cultures, like printed editions, articles, and also multimedia publications on Mark 16 (https://material-mark16.sib.swiss). The fourth part, forthcoming, Dataviz (https:// dataviz-mark16.sib.swiss) is building a geographical map in collaboration with the network Pelagios.

The most common approach to present objects in a museum context is to group several thematically connected archaeological artefacts within one showcase, with very short basic information about each object, and a poster with slightly more background information on the wall next to it. A similar perspective is taken by books that sketch history or a myth and back their versions of the story with images of different objects for illustration purposes. Another approach is to select one site or one object and tell its story through time, giving additional information for specific time slices – a method well established in literature. But story telling in the digital age can be so much more. A growing amount of background information is available and can be linked to tell the object‘s history.

Since the 1990s digital storytelling, as an extension of the traditional narrative theory set against the backdrop of the “digital turn” (Noiret, 2018), has received significant attention in several fields that are concerned with human expression and experience, such as media research, public history, and education. Digital storytelling, understood here as a movement or method for creating, expressing, and sharing information using digital tools and new media forms, has been viewed as a “democratization of culture” (Clarke & Adam, 2011). It draws attention away from the mainstream and gives a voice to the marginalized, the minority, the overlooked and forgotten. Effective storytelling is based on the full participation of the both speaker and listener, providing a means of expression that can resonate both cognitively and emotionally (Chaitin, 2003). Despite ongoing discourse and practice in literary, education, and media research, its theory construction and practice in DH projects is still at an exploratory stage. This presentation examines how digital storytelling has been used as a critical research method in the DH project A Journey from Wukang Road at Shanghai Library. Taking the site of Wukang Road and its associated buildings as the framework, this project uses knowledge organization methods and linked data to extract the relevant narrative elements and related details about people, events, activities, and historical changes from the appropriate library collection resources (including newspapers, old photos, books, maps, videos, etc.). In this way, the project reconstructs and restores the historical evolution of Wukang Road over more than 100 years by using the memories of the people connected with it (Xia et al., 2021). By organizing cultural resources based on their narrative elements, the evolutionary history can be reconstructed and decolonized with a more complete and clear storyline. It also engages citizens by having them upload photos and personal accounts of their memories and experiences of the road, restoring a rich picture of diverse voices from the community, challenging the established historiography and sociopolitical bias in the sources (Noble, 2018). Using digital storytelling as a primary research method unlocks the diverse possibilities for reconstructing its history and the expression of existing narrative materials to meet the needs of different aims, contexts, and communities. It also supports inference from the resources to supplement and discover “new” knowledge that was always there but never before included in the story. Through the process of collecting, organizing, storing, linking, and displaying historical and cultural information, including the voices of the people, with the support of digital tools, this project is in essence a process of attaching consciousness and various perspectives on the past, retelling the story by rebuilding the complete picture. Digital storytelling in this DH project emphasizes "reconstruction", a way to integrate, relate, and restore existing resources with the affordances of digital tools, thereby encouraging diverse expression, sharing, and even stimulating civil creativity. It is also collective behavior that discusses the perspectives on history and arouses public engagement, particularly in consideration of Shanghai cultural identity in this former home to the colonial powers.

This poster demonstrates the structure of DARIAH-Campus, including the Event Capture Tool, and the benefits of DARIAH-Campus for both students, and course-providers, offering examples of the four different learning resource types, and discussing how it contributes to the evolving DH pedagogical landscape by offering sustainability to training material developers while simultaneously providing training materials in a findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable manner.

This talk outlines a vision for Common European Data Spaces, proposed by the European Commission, where FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016) and FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) (De Smedt et al. 2020, Schwardmann 2020) can play a role in bringing together research infrastructures, data aggregators and other stakeholders working with curated objects in museums, herbaria, libraries and archives. The organisations and stakeholders involved represent a wide range of disciplines and data types including biodiversity, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, cultural history, digital storytelling, art conservation, and history of science among others (ICEDIG 2020, Ortolja-Baird and Nyhan 2021). The context and the history of the curated objects also span the natural sciences and cultural heritage domains (Nadim 2021, Weber 2021). Despite this heterogeneity, various common themes in the area of digital curation, open access, and data usage (Tasovac et al. 2020) appear where FDOs and Common European Data Spaces can be a useful venue for supporting the European Strategy for Data. In particular, FDOs, as an abstraction mechanism to structure and describe digital artefacts from a specific domain yet at the same time provide interoperability (De Smedt et al. 2020), can help realise the vision behind a common data space to “bring together relevant data infrastructures and governance frameworks in order to facilitate data pooling and sharing” (European Commission 2022:2). A May 2022 report on the challenges and opportunities of European Common Data Spaces highlights the following points: Open data holders have extensive experience in data publishing, metadata management, data quality, dataset discovery, data federation, as well as tried-and-tested standards (e.g. DCAT) and technologies. There seems to be very little knowledge/technology transfer from the open data community to the data spaces community, which is a missed opportunity. Data space implementations should not reinvent wheels that the open data community has already developed, tested, and used extensively. Whether the data is private, shared, or open, using data from multiple sources requires interoperability at several levels, from identifiers to vocabularies. The question of which data intermediaries will act as neutral agents to ensure interoperability is underexplored in the data space context. Public administrations, building on their experience of publishing open data, are best placed to take on such roles Open data holders have extensive experience in data publishing, metadata management, data quality, dataset discovery, data federation, as well as tried-and-tested standards (e.g. DCAT) and technologies.

Public administrations, building on their experience of publishing open data, are best placed to take on such roles Building on previous conversations facilitated by DiSSCo, DARIAH, Europeana, and Archives Portal Europe Foundation, (Europeana Conference 2021, DARIAH Annual Event 2022), this talk will address the above points from the perspective of bringing together the domains of natural history museums, cultural heritage, and digital humanities. Within our collaboration, we have identified several common areas such as data discoverability, linking, and providing contextual information, which align with the goal of FDO implementation. DiSSCo and DARIAH as European infrastructures, on the one hand, and Europeana and Archives Portal as data aggregators, on the other hand, are involved in improving access to data and the researchers' capacity to work with heterogeneous data sources. One of the biggest shared challenges across the diverse workflows in the arts and humanities and natural history domains is that the data curation processes form a natural continuum between a range of different actors working either in cultural heritage institutions or in academia. In reality, these different layers of curation, enrichment and analysis are separated by legal, institutional, infrastructural and even funding silos (as in many countries, these institutions belong to different ministries, and fall under different legislative frameworks). How can this continuum, from a scholarly point of view, be supported within common data space and FDO framework? At the same time, implementing a common data space requires not just interoperability but stewardship and strategy for sharing resources (Keller 2021). The data infrastructure and FAIR related activities explored in our collaboration are of strategic importance to help Europe and the rest of the world deal with important societal issues. Therefore, bringing this collaboration within the context of FDO provides an ideal avenue to explore potential data, policy, and implementation matters, in order to address the two gaps outlined above for Common Data Spaces. Furthermore, the ideas expressed in Common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage (with Europeana as the core stakeholder) and Green Deal Data Spaces need further clarification concerning implementation planning and most importantly, how multiple commons would work together. With DARIAH coming from the humanities and DiSSCo from the natural sciences side, such collaborations and synergy should align with the Common Data Spaces vision. The philosophy and ideas behind data and digital commons are not new (Fuchs 2020, Kashwan et al. 2021). However, it is crucial to contextualise the implementation strategy and benefits within data intensive, multidisciplinary research and FAIR principles. Given that curated objects are informational resources for the researchers, but can also provide contexts, and make visible the relationships between artefacts, people, publications, organisations, provenance, and events, it is important to think of them as much more than just records in a database. Additionally, FDOs as the digital representations of the curated objects have the potential of fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations (such as between biology, history, art or anthropology) and of providing a wider lens for understanding materiality and the role of data (Ribes 2019). As interdisciplinarity and data-driven foci are gaining traction via applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it is vital to understand what FDO adoption and implementation can contribute to common data spaces. We believe FDOs can be a successful foundation for Common European Data Spaces because they can can connect multiple commons -- from Green Deal to Cultural Heritage -- in order to drive forward the vision for interdisciplinary collaboration.

International audience; Navigating through the rich and dynamically evolving (Wouters et al., 2013) Digital Humanities (henceforth DH) landscape can be a time-consuming task and difficult to integrate into researchers' everyday routines. Yet primary goals of the DH paradigm such as 1. broadening and deepening the adoption of digital methods amongst humanities scholars and 2. facilitating the culture of reuse of already existing resources requires sufficient tools that make DH resources, methods and best practices visible, easily discoverable and freely accessible for researchers in all levels of expertise. The OpenMethods metablog aims to fulfil this need and provides a platform to bring together all formats of Open Access publications in different languages about methods in DH to spread the knowledge and raise peer recognition for them.

The aim of this poster is to provide an overview of the principal objectives of the newly started H2020 Computational Literary Studies (CLS) project- https://www.clsinfra.io. CLS is a infrastructure project works to develop and bring together resources of high-quality data, tools and knowledge to aid new approaches to studying literature in the digital age. Conducting computational literary studies has a number of challenges and opportunities from multilingual and bringing together distributing information. At present, the landscape of literary data is diverse and fragmented. Even though many resources are currently available in digital libraries, archives, repositories, websites or catalogues, a lack of standardisation hinders how they are constructed, accessed and the extent to which they are reusable (Ciotti 2014). CLS project aims to federate these resources, with the tools needed to interrogate them, and with a widened base of users, in the spirit of the FAIR and CARE principles (Wilkinson et al. 2016). The resulting improvements will benefit researchers by bridging gaps between greater- and lesser- resourced communities in computational literary studies and beyond, ultimately offering opportunities to create new research and insight into our shared and varied European cultural heritage. Rather than building entirely new resources for literary studies, the project is committed to exploiting and connecting the already-existing efforts and initiatives, in order to acknowledge and utilize the immense human labour that has already been undertaken. Therefore, the project builds on recently- compiled high-quality literary corpora, such as DraCor and ELTeC (Fischer et al. 2019, Burnard et al. 2021, Schöch et al. in press), integrates existing tools for text analysis, e.g. TXM, stylo, multilingual NLP pipelines (Heiden 2010, Eder et al. 2016), and takes advantage of deep integration with two other infrastructural projects, namely the CLARIN and DARIAH ERICs. Consequently, the project aims at building a coherent ecosystem to foster the technical and intellectual findability and accessibility of relevant data. The ecosystem consists of (1) resources, i.e. text collections for drama, poetry and prose in several languages, (2) tools, (3) methodological and theoretical considerations, (4) a network of CLS scholars based at different European institutions, (5) a system of short-term research stays for both early career researchers and seasoned scholars, (6) a repository for training materials, as well as (7) an efficient dissemination strategy. This is achieved through a collaboration between participating institutions: Institute of Polish Language at the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland; University of Potsdam, Germany; Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria; National University of Distance Education, Spain; École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France; Humboldt University of Berlin, German; Charles University, Czech Republic; Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities, France; Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities, Ghent University, Belgium; Belgrade Centre for Digital Humanities, Serbia; Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences), Netherlands; Trier Center for Digital Humanities, Trier University, Germany; Moore Institute, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland; This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004984.

International audience; Trismegistos [http://www.trismegistos.org; abbreviated as TM], is an interdisciplinary platform covering metadata about texts from the Ancient World (800 BC - AD 800). Its database currently contains information about provenance, dating and the archival context, geographic and prosopographical attestations in these texts and references to both classical authors and modern editors. All of this information (and more) is openly accessible for all of our users on the TM website.Now TM is expanding its role as data curator and service provider with the launch of the new Data Services portal (https://www.trismegistos.org/dataservices), currently focused on the metadata about TM Texts and Places (https://www.trismegistos.org/geo). By using the digital tools such as the TM APIs, web applications can be enriched with validated linked open data from the TM database. The provided endpoints can be used in combination with other web services to create interactive, feature-rich content due to the light-weight, customizable JSON-responses.By calling the endpoint with a valid Trismegistos Geo ID (e.g., Alexandria = TM Geo 100; http://www.trismegistos.org/place/100), users can download a JSON file or directly parse the content of the call in GeoJSON format. This ID can also be used to retrieve URIs linking to more information about a TM Place via the GeoRelations portal (https://www.trismegistos.org/dataservices/georelations/documentation), providing a total of over 33,000 indexed URIs from 19 partner websites. The TexRelations portal (https://www.trismegistos.org/dataservices/texrelations/documentation) similarly offers information on the textual level, by offering JSON, XML or JSON-URI based responses. This endpoint successfully links over 1 million online resources from 79 partner websites. The lightweight responses can be used by anyone, using tools such as FileMaker, POSTMAN, Python scripts or customizable JavaScript solutions.By providing reliable and easy-to-use endpoints TM wants to provide stable IDs to existing projects and help researchers by pointing them towards other resources of scientific knowledge. In doing so, hopefully more links from new partners will be added to the different TM portals (such as TM Texts and Places) and linked to a TM ID, creating a carefully curated network of Ancient World Linked Open Data.

Europe has a long and rich tradition as a centre of research and teaching in the arts and humanities. However, the huge digital transformation that affects the arts and humanities research landscape all over the world requires that we set up sustainable research infrastructures, new and refined techniques, state-of-the-art methods and an expanded skills base. Responding to these challenges, the Digital Research Infrastructure for Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) was launched as a pan-European network and research infrastructure. After expansion and consolidation, which involved DARIAH’s inclusion in the ESFRI roadmap, DARIAH became a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) in 2014. The Horizon 2020 funded project DESIR (DARIAH ERIC Sustainability Refined) sets out to strengthen the sustainability of DARIAH and help establish it as a reliable long-term partner within our communities. Sustaining existing digital expertise, tools, resources in Europe in the context of DESIR involves a goal-oriented set of measures in order to first, maintain, expand and develop DARIAH in its capacities as an organisation and technical research infrastructure; secondly, to engage its members further, as well as measure and increase their trust in DARIAH; thirdly, to expand the network in order to integrate new regions and communities. The DESIR consortium is composed of core DARIAH members, representatives from potential new DARIAH members and external technical experts. The sustainability of a research infrastructure is the capacity to remain operative, effective and competitive over its expected lifetime. In DESIR, this definition is translated into an evolving 6-dimensional process, divided into the following challenges:•Dissemination•Growth•Technology•Robustness•Trust•EducationWith our poster, we would like to show how the project helps sustaining DARIAH. Within DESIR, dissemination is the ability to communicate DARIAH’s strategy and benefits effectively within the DARIAH community and in new areas, spreading out to new communities. Through the international workshops held at Stanford University and at the Library of Congress, DARIAH has been introduced to many non-European DH scholars. These events were an important first step to foster international cooperation between US and European colleagues as well as a catalyst for ongoing collaborations in the future. A third workshop took place in Canberra at the Australian Research Data Commons in March 2019.DARIAH has currently 17 members from all over Europe. Nevertheless, efforts should be made to include as many countries as possible to bring in and scale, to a European level, even more state-of-the-art DH activities.Six candidates ready for building strong national consortia have been identified, enabling a substantial expansion of DARIAH’s country coverage. Additionally, thematic workshops are organised in each country as well as tailored training measures.DESIR widens the research infrastructure in core areas which are vital for DARIAH’s sustainability but are not yet covered by the existing set-up. As DARIAH expands across Europe, continuously enhancing and further developing the ERIC exceeds DARIAH’s internal technological capacities. Two notable results were achieved so far: firstly, the publication of a technical reference as a result of a workshop organised in October 2017 with CESSDA and CLARIN. It’s a collection of basic guidelines and references for development and maintenance of infrastructure services within DARIAH and beyond, addressing an ongoing issue for research infrastructures, namely software sustainability. Secondly, the organisation of a Code Sprint, focusing on bibliographical and citation metadata, which helped shaping DARIAH’s profile in four technology areas (visualisation, text analytic services, entity-based search and scholarly content management). Another Code sprint is expected to take place in Summer 2019.Another output is the implementation of a centralized helpdesk. This helpdesk is hosted by CLARIN-D and the solution of integration within the existing DARIAH website was the creation of a WordPress plugin. This plugin is used to connect our website with the OTRS server and allows the creation of issues easily by users unfamiliar with OTRS.Sustaining a research infrastructure involves also two important aspects: trust and education. For DARIAH, it is crucial to increase trust and confidence from its users. In DESIR we develop recommendations and strategies accordingly, targeting new cross-disciplinary communities, based on the results of a survey and interviews addressed to the scientific community, with different levels of approach - national, institutional and individual.In addition, education is a key area and the project contributes to the ongoing discussions about the role and modalities of training and education in the development, consolidation and sustainability of digital research infrastructures. We believe that investing time and efforts into training and educating users is a way of securing the social sustainability of a research infrastructure. International audience
