D1.1 Research communities identification and definition report

Europeana Cloud’s main objectives are to provide new content, new metadata, a new linked storage system, new tools and services for researchers and a new platform, Europeana Research. For Europeana Cloud to achieve these objectives, it is essential that researchers’ needs are thoroughly understood. WP1 is concerned with assessing the researcher needs and to ensure that community engagement plays a key role in this process. The present report is one facet of this effort. It seeks to identify and define the Humanities and Social Sciences research communities that will be supported via the Europeana Cloud. The paper should be read in conjunction with accompanying inventories of research communities: - D1.1 Communities Table Humanities, http://pro.europeana.eu/documents/1414567/48e97ef2-7761-46cb-ac38-d17aebdd73df - D1.1 Communities Table SocialSciences, http://pro.europeana.eu/documents/1414567/4d1157db-393f-45d0-9615-f70281544649
