Building a new national data service that is of cultural significance and widely accessibly

The HuNI project is:

• Integrating cultural data at a national level

• Building a NEW Virtual Laboratory application

• Making this new data service accessible to all

• Building the foundations for future growth

HuNI is…

• Big – 380,000 entities and growing

• Multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary

• Capable of answering complex questions quickly

Users of the HuNI lab app can…

• Discover and explore across the aggregated data

• Make connections and create “socially-linked” data

• Save and share their data and their findings

HuNI will change the nature of humanities research

• Working with data on a much larger scale

• Breaking down disciplinary boundaries around data

• Promoting data sharing

• Encouraging collaboration to enrich data
