Description
The Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts (CDHA) is a platform for construction, hosting, consultation about development and access to digital databanks in the humanities and arts, and for research based on digital databanks.
The databanks cover both language resources, i.e. texts and languages, and resources in other formats, such as images, videos, 3D models, sounds and visual arts in digital formats. CDHA will coordinate international collaboration in digital research infrastructure in humanities and arts, and work in the spirit of providing open access to research data.
CDHA is based on a collaboration between ten Icelandic institutes, around a central research infrastructure in humanities and arts.
Digital humanities (DH) is a rapidly growing research field at the intersection of humanities and information technology (IT). DH applies IT methods to research subjects in the humanities and arts, opening opportunities for new interdisciplinary research and research topics, and for new opportunities for the dissemination of research.
CDHA is intended to support access to, and development of, research infrastructures in DH, and link Icelandic research to international developments in the field. CDHA will become a research infrastructure hub, operated by a network of leading universities and institutes working in the humanities and arts and with data about history, culture and languages in Iceland.
ACTIVITIES
CDHA will: Strengthen collaboration between Icelandic institutes that host databanks within the humanities and arts, and conduct research based on them.
Support the development of new databanks and the updating of existing databanks to meet international standards on meta-data.
Lead the development of technical solutions for databanks and the purchasing of available solutions, as required.
Give researchers access to data and databanks suitable for their research.
Give researchers access to specialised equipment and technological solutions to conduct research based on digital databanks.
Assist with disseminating content suitable for different audiences.
Host training and education in the methods of DH.
All major Icelandic institutes in the humanities and arts are partners in the CDHA. The centre will serve all researchers in the humanities and arts in Iceland, and other researchers interested in working with Icelandic data.
Open access to high-quality research data is one of the main objectives of the CDHA, and the centre will be useful to anyone with an interest in working with data from the humanities and arts. This applies to some of the social and pedagogical sciences as well as other research fields that work with historical and cultural data.
CDHA will give educational institutes, at all stages of education, better access to data and solutions to work with historical and cultural information.
CDHA will cooperate with similar international institutes, both in the Nordic and other neighbouring countries, and participate in developing new solutions in DH.
IMPACT
CDHA will support and develop research on big societal challenges. It will enable research on life and work in a changing world, as the databanks contain varied information about demographical changes, equality, diversity, culture, attitudes and changes over a long period.
The centre will also facilitate research linked to health and well-being, as the databanks include valuable information about health, welfare and private life. In addition, the centre will facilitate research relating to environmental issues and sustainability, where information about climate change and its effect on individuals and societies is of vital importance.
