International audience; The aim of the talk is to present the methodology used to reorganise the PACTOLS thesaurus of Frantiq, launched within the framework of the MASA consortium. PACTOLS is a multilingual and open repository about archaeology from Prehistory to the present and for Classics. It is organized into six micro-thesaurus at the root of its name (Peuples, Anthroponymes,Chronologie, Toponymes, Oeuvres, Lieux, Sujets). The goal is to turn it into a tool interoperable with information systems beyond its original documentary purpose, and usable by archaeologists as a repository for managing scientific data. During the talk, we will describe the choice of tools, the organisation of work within the steering group and the collaborations with specialists for the upgrading and development of the vocabulary while showing the strengths and limitations of some experiments. Above allit will show how the introduction of the conceptual categories of the BackBone Thesaurus of DARIAH, modelled on the CIDOC-CRM ontology, through a progressive deconstruction/reconstruction process, eventually had an impact on all micro thesauri and questioned the organisation of knowledge so far proposed.

Huma-Num is a Very Large Research Infrastructure (known by its initials in French as TGIR) led by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and operated by the CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research).It provides services to the entire Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) academic community and particularly digital services that are focused on research data management with the aim of helping researchers manage the lifecycle of their data.Huma-Num has designed and provided to the community a new storage service for large volumes (several terabytes) of cold or warm data, so-called because it is rarely accessed or modified, but which does have a high value and therefore needs to be safely secured.How the project was designed, the desired outcomes compared with the previous solution (iRods), the selected solution (Active-Circle software on generally-available hardware), the features of the solution, the network architecture implemented (deployment on RENATER through VPN) and the integration with an LDAP directory will be presented.The collaboration that has been set up with the MSH (Houses of the Human Sciences), the information systems directorates of the affiliated universities and with RENATER will also be described.A progress report on the deployment of the project in seven points of presence in France will be provided, and the project’s development opportunities will be pointed out. Huma-Num est une Très Grande Infrastructure de Recherche (TGIR) pilotée par le Ministère de l'enseigne-ment supérieur et de la recherche, et opérée par le CNRS. Elle rend des services à l'ensemble de la communauté académique en Sciences Humaines et Sociales (SHS) et notamment des services numériques, orientés sur la gestion des données de la recherche, ceci dans le but d'aider les chercheurs à gérer la vie de leurs données. Huma-Num a conçu et proposé à la communauté un nouveau service de stockage nommé Huma-Num Box et destiné aux gros volumes de données (plusieurs To) dites « froides » ou « tièdes », c'est-à-dire peu accédées et modifiées, mais à forte valeur et donc nécessitant une sécurisation importante. Il sera exposé la façon dont le projet a été conçu, les objectifs recherchés par rapport à la solution pré-cédente (iRods), la solution retenue (logiciel Active-Circle sur matériel banalisé), les fonctionnalités de la solution, l'architecture réseau mise en oeuvre (déploiement sur RENATER au travers de VPN) et l'intégra-tion avec un annuaire LDAP. Il sera également indiqué les collaborations qui ont été mises en place avec les Maisons des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH), les DSI des universités de rattachement, et RENATER. Il sera fait un point d'étape sur le déploiement du projet dans 7 points de présence sur le territoire, et indiqué les perspectives d'évolution du projet.

International audience; Knowledge production has always act globally, and when it comes to the humanities early networks of scholars can still be traced in their letter correspondence. With the emergence of digital humanities more prominently in the 1970s, research communities have organized themselves in many different ways. The enthusiasm generated by the promises of what was sometimes perceived as a "new field" were to some extent echoed in new forms of institutionalization, to the point of defining a discipline in its own right. But the enthusiasms was also accompanied by a certain resistance of communities reluctant to introduce digital technology into their field.The term of "digital humanities" in these earlier days of adopting digital methods into the humanities created an area, a niche, inside which pioneers in Digital Humanities could gain critical mass. Today, where digital methods are far more widely applied, one can observe an almost opposite trend, the abandoning of a ‘specific label’ and a much broader advocacy concerning all humanities.What remains specific for DH communities is the close alliance between content providers (which themselves are in a process of digitisation content and access), humanities scholars applying digital methods, and computer scientists linking to new methodological achievements in their field. However, this alliance can express itself in very different forms of national and international organisation, and is far from following a specific model.This panel examines different ways of "forming a community" among digital humanities scholars and scholars in other fields, and other actors in DH. The contributions span a range from generic ways to design digital research infrastructures in the SSH, over national solutions to supranational coordination.The purpose of this panel is to unfold the diversity of the current "digital humanist movement”, not only to compare, but also to understand what is at stake for the actors involved and what impact the different forms of organisation have on creation and evolution of research communities. We further discuss issues of cohesion and durability. Through the papers presented, we will examine the impact of bottom-up, top-down and horizontal strategies as well as the adoption of hybrid solutions (organizational, disciplinary, methodological, scalar) in the design of research communities. This approach will allow us to put convergences and challenges into perspective and to question the re- compositions at work within SSH communities.This panel will highlight the experiences of SSH research communities from different cultures and organizations rooted at different levels of governance, such as some French communities structured around institutional nodes such as Maisons des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH), or research infrastructures at the national (TGIR Huma-Num) or European level (DARIAH ERIC); project based collaboration of research infrastructures (DANS, The Netherlands) and Canada (CRIHN); and professional networks and transnational associations related to digital humanities (e.g. Humanistica, the French-speaking association of digital humanities, or the Latin American network for digital humanities under construction). The comparison of the experiences presented will not produce a homogeneous and smooth image but will highlight differences in approaches and organisation. Even it seems nearly impossible to give account of every association that could be representative on a way to build community in DH, the chair of the session will make an introduction with a brief summary of this landscape. That said, besides the geographical aspect that we try to include, another is that we are giving voice to formal and informal associations such as the LatamHD network, that is just at an early stage and that is not yet defined in its goals. We decided to propose several solutions to deal with the diversity of needs and practises inside our communities and we wanted to present some of them to share our experiences and initiate discussions during this panel in order to develop collaborations with colleagues sharing the same kind of constraints.Thus, the objective is to have a broad discussion with the audience to broaden the perspectives to other experiences.This panel aims to contribute to the reflective work in the wider DH context about factors of constitution, consolidation and evolution of its research communities.

Avec les participations de Sophie Renaudin (Médiathèque Louis-Aragon du Mans) et de Sylvie Tisserand (Bibliothèque du Prytanée nationale militaire, La Flèche); International audience

International audience; This contribution will show how Access play a strong role in the creation and structuring of DARIAH, a European Digital Research Infrastructure in Arts and Humanities.To achieve this goal, this contribution will develop the concept of Access from five examples:_ Interdisciplinarity point of view_ Manage contradiction between national and international perspectives_ Involve different communities (not only researchers stakeholders)_ Manage tools and services_ Develop and use new collaboration toolsWe would like to demonstrate that speaking about Access always implies a selection, a choice, even in the perspective of "Open Access".

International audience

International audience; Through this White Paper, which gathers contributions from experts of 3D data as well as professionals concerned with the interoperability and sustainability of 3D research data, the PARTHENOS project aims at highlighting some of the current issues they have to face, with possible specific points according to the discipline, and potential practices and methodologies to deal with these issues.During the workshop, several tools to deal with these issues have been introduced and confronted with the participants experiences, this White Paper now intends to go further by also integrating participants feedbacks and suggestions of potential improvements.Therefore, even if the focus is put on specific tools, the main goal is to contribute to the development of standardized good practices related to the sharing, publication, storage and long-term preservation of 3D data.

International audience

International audience; Nowadays, as the use of digital data for research in Humanities has become the norm, researchers are dealing with a huge amount of data. As a consequence, the risk of data loss is increasing. Another difficulty is to provide full access to this flood of data to users often located in distant areas. These problems can no longer be addressed individually by researchers or even at a laboratory level: it is therefore necessary to use a technical infrastructure with specific skills to provide stable preservation services.This paper will present the implementation of a preservation system in France, branded “Huma-Num-Box”, which aims to address these challenges. This solution is proposed by Huma-Num, the French national infrastructure dedicated to Digital Humanities.
