Publisher: DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and
Humanities)

Just like astronomers require a virtual observatory to study the stars and
other distant objects in the galaxy, researchers in the arts and humanities
need a digital infrastructure to get access to and join together the
information and the knowledge that is embedded in digital content. The
Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities ­ DARIAH ­ will
be such an infrastructure with a European dimension.

The grand vision for DARIAH is to facilitate long-term preservation of and
access to arts and humanities research data.

Scholars can use DARIAH to:

* find and use a wide range of digital content from across Europe
* find and use tools that aid data interpretation
* participate in experimentation and innovation with other scholars from
across multiple domains
* seek advice, and exchange ideas and knowledge on all aspects of digital
scholarship
* ensure that they work to accepted standards and best practices
* ensure the long-term preservation of data

DARIAH Newsletter publishes articles about the organization's activities.
