From paper to digits
2017
Technology is everywhere. In most, if not all research projects, hard- and software are used
aplenty. Moreover, when you look at the research data lifecycle, it is hard to think of data
collection, analysis, preservation, and reuse in terms of paper. Policy makers and funders
alike are encouraging projects with an IT component. As a result, new tools, databases and
data models sprout from every research project; the original goal of sharing and
collaboration surpassed by the conviction that there is a need for this particular software or
that custom developed database. This is not entirely a bad thing, since it also drives
innovation and brings new perspectives to the use of digital components in research. The
problem lies more in the sustainability of the developed tools and databases after the
projects' lifetime. The presentation will focus on the challenges of research infrastructure
sustainability and the important role that national and pan-European research
infrastructures such as DARIAH can play in providing researchers with best practices and
support in building and maintaining access to innovative tools, databases and datasets.
