The DARIAH-DKPro-Wrapper Output Format (DOF) is a tab-separated file format, designed to be easily accessible by various analysis tools and scripting languages. It is based on a modular linguistic processing pipeline, which includes a range of analysis capabilities and has been fitted to book-length documents. Both processing pipeline and output format have been developed in cooperation by the Department of Literary Computing, Würzburg (“Lehrstuhl Für Computerphilologie Und Neuere Deutsche Literaturgeschichte. Universität Würzburg” 2016) and the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab, Darmstadt (“Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab. Technische Universität Darmstadt” 2016) as part of DARIAH-DE, Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (“DARIAH-DE” 2016).

Project summary The digital age offers challenges and opportunities for completing research on Europe’s multilingual and interconnected literary heritage. Even though many resources are currently available in digital libraries, a lack of standardisation hinders their access and reuse. The EU funded CLS INFRA project will help build the shared and sustainable infrastructure needed to undertake literary studies in the digital age. The project will align these diverse resources with each other, with the tools needed to interrogate them, and with a widened base of users. The resulting improvements will benefit researchers by bridging gaps between greater and lesserresourced communities in computational literary studies and beyond, ultimately offering opportunities to create new research and insight into our shared and varied European cultural heritage. Executive summary This deliverable presents the first version of Data Management Plan for the Horizon 2020 project CLS INFRA. To maximise the potential of the present document as a living and functional project management tool, the team decided to accommodate to this present DMP all sorts of digital scholarly objects that qualify as data or software and that are deemed worthy to be captured and preserved for reuse. Following the Horizon 2020 Data Management Plan template and guidelines, the document first defines the scope and selection criteria for project outputs (1.1.) and provides a structured overview of data and software collected, created, and (re)used for and by the CLS INFRA project. The second, FAIR data chapter describes the provisions made or envisioned to accommodate the FAIR principles and thereby future usage of CLS INFRA data resources. The third chapter provides a similar FAIR assessment of software resources. The fourth chapter describes roles, responsibilities and practical commitments and safeguards that are in place for the successful implementation of the DMP. The fifth chapter covers data security aspects. In the final chapter, we accommodated discussions around ethical aspects such as safeguards for personal data handling and safeguards for adherence to intellectual property rights are discussed. While preparing the DMP, special attention has been given to domain and disciplinary specificities. The CLS INFRA Data Management Plan is a living document and shall be updated continuously throughout the project in line with the new information gathered via conducting the project activities

With these guidelines we explain how to add Tools & Services as DARIAH National Resources into the SSH Open Marketplace. The DARIAH National Coordinators Committee agreed on the recommendations. These guidelines can also be used for other national infrastructure consortia to manage and represent their tools and services for the community in an open and collaborative way. This represents a living document, that is subject to updated versions as practices change and the SSH Open Marketplace evolves.

Research assessment reform is crucial for the social sustainability of research infrastructures (RIs): RIs can only thrive in the long term if the researchers who contribute to their development and growth receive academic credit for the kind of work they do in and around research infrastructures. To put it bluntly, research infrastructures have a vested interest in supporting the reform of research assessment. But, conversely, ongoing attempts to reform research assessment can also benefit from the work of research infrastructures because RIs have a great deal of experience creating and maintaining public services for producing, curating and harvesting both traditional and non-traditional academic outputs. The goal of this paper is to outline DARIAH’s position on the importance of research assessment reform for thematic RIs and the importance of thematic RIs for research assessment reform at the European level.

The workshop on Quantitative Text Analysis for Literary History was the first in a series of DARIAH-DE expert workshops and took place from November 22 to 23 at the University of Würzburg, Germany. It was organized by Fotis Jannidis and Christof Schöch of the Department for Literary Computing, University of Würzburg, and brought together experts in the computational analysis of collections of literary texts from France, Germany, Poland and the US. This report first briefly provides some context on the DARIAH expert workshops and introduces the specific goals of the workshop reported on here. Then, it summarizes the major issues raised by the participants in their initial statements and debated in the ensuing discussions. Finally, it describes the key results from the workshop, which include advances in the areas of data, tools and methods for quantitative text analysis.
