This report provides information about activities and progress towards establishing DARIAH membership in six countries: the Czech Republic, Finland, Israel, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK, which took place between July and December 2019. Previous activities were described in detail in the D3.2 - Regularly Monitor Country-Specific Progress in Enabling New DARIAH Membership. During the project lifetime, the Czech Republic joined DARIAH ERIC; in other countries, collaboration with DARIAH has been greatly strengthened and significant progress regarding DARIAH membership has been achieved. The report also outlines the next steps in the accession processes, building on the results of the DESIR project.

The project will deliver training materials for the digital arts and humanities in different languages and make them available via an online e-learning platform. This report elaborates on the implementation of such a platform. It describes the main user scenarios, it collects user and technical requirements, defines the data model and functional specification and explores technical solutions. The report has been created within WP 4 Infrastructure Development with input from all partners, especially WP 2 (user requirements). As a first step, we performed desktop research on what kind of solutions and projects on portals for training materials exist and what kind of systems they are using. The second step was an evaluation of different tools. There are different evaluation methods and criteria for e-learning systems (e.g. Kurilovas & Dagiene 2009). We chose to start from user requirements and a mapping of the user requirements from WP2 to functionalities available in existing systems. Finally, we determined which solution would suit the requirements and other circumstances within the project best.

The DESIR project sets out to strengthen the sustainability of DARIAH and firmly establish it as a long-term leader and partner within arts and humanities communities. The project was designed to address six core infrastructural sustainability dimensions and one of these was dedicated to training and education, which is also one of the four pillars identified in the DARIAH Strategic Plan 2019-2026. In the framework of Work Package 7: Teaching, DESIR organised dedicated workshops in the six DARIAH accession countries (Czech Republic, Finland, Israel, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) to introduce them to the DARIAH infrastructure and related services, and to develop methodological research skills. The topic of each workshop was decided by accession countries representatives according to the training needs of the national communities of researchers in the (Digital) Humanities. Training topics varied greatly: on the one hand, some workshops had the objective to introduce participants to specific methodological research skills; on the other hand, a different approach was used, and some events focused on the infrastructural role of training and education. The workshops organised in the context of Work Package 7: Teaching are listed below:• CZECH REPUBLIC: “A series of fall tutorials 2019 organized by LINDAT/CLARIAHCZ, tutorial #3 on TEI Training”, November 28, 2019, Prague;• FINLAND: “Reuse & sustainability: Open Science and social sciences and humanities research infrastructures”, 23 October 2019, Helsinki;• ISRAEL: “Introduction to Text Encoding and Digital Editions”, 24 October 2019, Haifa;• SPAIN: “DESIR Workshop: Digital Tools, Shared Data, and Research Dissemination”, 3 July 2019, Madrid;• SWITZERLAND: “Sharing the Experience: Workflows for the Digital Humanities”, 5-6 December 2019, Neuchâtel;• UNITED KINGDOM: “Research Software Engineering for Digital Humanities: Role of Training in Sustaining Expertise”, 9 December, London.

This document describes mechanisms where interoperability ofdata is ensured with the use of standards. The standards wecovered are both domain related, the archival standards in XMLformats such as EAD, EAC-CPF and EAG, and transversalstandards, whose use is recommended in the context of any digitalproject, in particular the ISO standards for the representation oflanguage, script and countries.Interoperability of archival descriptions expressed in EAD is madepossible with the specification of a specific EAD profile for EHRI.This profile is built and maintained using the TEI-ODD framework,which is explained of the first section of the report.Interoperability and reusability of EHRI resources is also ensuredwith the design of more consistent URLs, composed withstandardised methods and using ISO reference codes. This designhas to be seen as a first step through a persistent identifier system.The work initiated in WP11 and presented in this document will becontinued, enhanced and developed by other EHRI work packages,WP7 Virtual Access to EHRI Virtual Observatory, WP10 ResourceIdentification and Integration Workflows and WP13 Research DataInfrastructures for Holocaust Material.

Najważniejsze wyniki europejskiego sondażu praktyk badawczych oraz potrzeb cyfrowych w humanistyce i naukach o sztuce, przeprowadzonego przez grupę roboczą DARIAH Digital Methods and Practices Observatory (DiMPO). Badanie jest efektem współpracy europejskich badaczy z różnych krajów w ramach Grupy Roboczej DiMPO. Badanie zostało pomyślana jako ponadregionalny sondaż podłużny, przeprowadzany co kilka lat online w krajach europejskich. Jego celem jest dostarczenie opartego na danych przeglądu praktyk badawczych, potrzeb i postaw europejskich badaczy z nauk humanistycznych wobec zasobów cyfrowych, metod i narzędzi, w perspektywie przestrzennej i czasowej. Wyniki pierwszego sondażu (zakończonego w marcu 2015) zostaną zaprezentowane w wieloautorskim raporcie, który zawiera analizy zbiorcze i porównawcze oraz pięć raportów narodowych. Kolejne badanie planowane jest na 2017-2018. Więcej informacji: bit.ly/scholarlypracticesPrzekład na polski: Maciej Maryl (Centrum Humanistyki Cyfrowej Instytutu Badań Literackich PAN)

This document is the first version of the Data Management Plan (DMP) for data collected and created by DESIR. It describes the datasets generated during the course of the project, how the data will be produced and analysed. It details also how the data generated will be shared, disseminated and preserved.

This Scientific Vision aims to monitor the landscape of the setting up of the E-RIHS infrastructure, to describe the main scientific ambitions of E-RIHS in the coming years and to outline what pathways will be used to achieve them.The E-RIHS Scientific Vision will be the introduction of the E-RIHS Scientific and Technical description, one of the documents that will be produced to apply for the ERIC status.The first version of the E-RIHS Scientific Vision was elaborated in the framework of the task 9.1 “Excellence: priorities and strategy” of the WP9 of E-RIHS PP. European and national communities, as well as international partners, were widely consulted throughout the preparation process.A six pages flyer and a poster illustrating the Scientific Vision were also produced.

This WP6 deliverable presents a dissemination strategy for the DARIAH-RC project, which will be updated during the project. The mission of the DARIAH-RC project is to develop an open-source, high quality, multilingual reference curriculum for the Digital Arts and Humanities. The DARIAH Reference Curriculum (DARIAH-RC) will strengthen alliances and foster innovative teaching and learning practices among members of the ESFRI-roadmap Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH). The aims of the dissemination plan are: •to identify the best channels and means for communicating with each one•to co-ordinate the dissemination activities of the partners involved to ensure that DARIAH-RC receives national, European and international coverage•to co-ordinate and plan dissemination materials for use by the project partners•to prepare the evaluation of dissemination activities across the project

The design and implementation of a platform-based training course requires an understanding of basic concepts from psychology, education, and human-computer interaction which are all essential to the development of successful learning environments.
