FAIR Data in the Humanities? Challenge accepted!

WHAT’S THIS SESSION ABOUT?

Join this Data Snack to deepen your understanding of the complexities surrounding Humanities research data and discover practical solutions for fostering FAIR data practices.

Starting from the discussion of the term research data in the Humanities, our Data Steward Heike Thöricht will briefly show challenges in making data in this discipline FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). She will present where researchers of the humanities can find repositories as hubs for centralized storage, standard enforcement, community engagement, and long-term preservation, making them indispensable in the pursuit of FAIR Humanities research data. Following the identification of a suitable repository, the subsequent stages in achieving FAIR Data will be outlined.
