PARTHENOS STANDS FOR…


PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The PARTHENOS project empowers digital research in the fields of History, Language Studies, Cultural Heritage, Archaeology, and related fields across the (Digital) Humanities. It provides a thematic cluster of European Research Infrastructures, integrating initiatives, e-infrastructures and similar world-class infrastructures, and builds bridges between different, tightly interrelated fields.

Investing in culture is investing in the future!


PARTHENOS FACTS

• PARTHENOS is a Horizon2020 project, funded by the EC

• Horizon2020 is the EU Research and Innovation Programme

• EC contribution to PARTHENOS: 12 million EUR• PARTHENOS runs for 48 months• Starting date: 1 May 2015• Closing date: 30 April 2019• PARTHENOS has a consortium of 16 partners

from 9 countries• Coordinator: PIN Scrl - Educational and

Scientific Services for the University of Florence, Italy


… supports the work of the two main research infrastructures, CLARIN (language resources) and DARIAH (digital humanities), as well as various integration projects addressing cultural domains, such as ARIADNE, CENDARI and EHRI.

By working together, PARTHENOS will:• develop common standards to ease exploitation;• coordinate joint activities among research projects;• harmonize policy definition and implementation;• pool methods and services;• and share solutions to the same problems.

PARTHENOS …

WHY PARTHENOS?Digital technologies have led to the creation of large digital archives, and to a variety of innovative research methodologies applicable to these archives. We are now eager to integrate these archives and new methods to support digital research.


… will benefit from the advanced services made available to everybody by PARTHENOS, and can have a voice in the project development by communicating their needs and wishes.

Such services concern all aspects of data management, including:

• access to and sharing of data;

• management of intellectual property rights;

• integration of diverse datasets;

• tools for discovering openly available resources;

• guidelines, training and education. 6

Individual researchers…

WHAT CAN PARTHENOS DO FOR ME?Research infrastructures enable the international scientific community to better conduct high profile research by providing integrated facilities and resources.

Objectives

WP 2 – COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND REQUIREMENTS (1)Leader: CLARIN, Sebastian Drude


WP 2 – COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND REQUIREMENTS (2)

Action plan:1. Identify core PARTHENOS user communities2. Identify relevant existing user requirements

documents3. Compile user requirements from these documents4. Complete user requirements from other sources

Primary groups of user communities:• Studies of the past• Language-related studies• Heritage and Applied Disciplines• (Social Sciences)

Work Package 2 is the backbone of the PARTHENOS project.


WP 2 – COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND REQUIREMENTS (3)

Work Package 2 is the backbone of the PARTHENOS project.


To answer more research questions more efficiently, by increasing and aligning the quality of repositories, data and metadata, by providing:• A definition of shared policies and solutions

throughout the research lifecycle, throughout Europe and throughout humanities disciplines, concerning issues of common interest.

• A definition of guidelines and best practices for supporting those common policies.

• Provision of an interdisciplinary research agenda and related foresights studies.

16

Objectives

WP 3 – COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (1)

Leader: KNAW, Hella Hollander


WP 3 - COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (2)

Overview of topics:• Research Data Management• Quality Assessment• IPA Management, Open Access, Open DataFirst goal:to agree on and define the concepts of Policy, Guidelines, Best practice, their objectives and target audience.

First investigations:• What are the consequences of emerging approaches /

new research activities / ideas?• How are they connected to the data life cycle, where

do they differ from current practices?• What about IPR?


WP 3 - COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (3)


WP 4: STANDARDIZATION (1)Leader: INRIA, Laurent Romary

• Achievement of high-level awareness within the humanities about generally accepted digital methods and standards.

• Definition of a minimum common framework for standardization (the standardization survival kit).

• Standardization of reference resources (thesauri, gazetteers, authority lists)

• Definition of accepted protocols and of procedures for data production starting from material sources and experiments.

Objectives

Standardization Survival Kit


WP 4: STANDARDIZATION (2)Standards in the Arts and Humanities

• Well established practices. Examples:- Text Encoding Initiative

* Comprehensive XML vocabulary for textual documents

- ISO TC 37/SC 4 portfolio* Mature set of standards for linguistic annotation

- Archival standards* EAD, EAG, EAC* Governance and maintenance issues

• Niches to be secured: - MEI (Music Encoding Initiatives)

• Lacunae (or fragmentations) to overcome: - E.g. Meta-data descriptions of audio-visual data

• Library standards to interoperate with: - METS, MODS, FRBR descriptive framework


• Pursuing interoperability• Definition of a common

semantic framework for the sector

• Integration of multilingual reference resources (thesauri, gazetteers, authority lists)

• Designing resource discovery21

Objectives

WP 5: INTEROPERABILITY AND SEMANTICS (1)Leader: FORTH, Maria Theodoridou


WP 5: INTEROPERABILITY AND SEMANTICS (2)

The scope of Work Package 5 is semantic interoperability. If technical interoperability may be achieved by standardization, agreement on meanings is required to go deeper and create an interwoven network of data, resources and researches.


WP 5: INTEROPERABILITY AND SEMANTICS (3)


WP 6: SERVICES AND TOOLS (1)Leader: CNR (National Research Council of Italy), Carlo Meghini

• To set up a set of tools and services enabling cross-discipline interoperability.

Objectives

WP 7: SKILLS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT

Leader: Trinity College Dublin, Jennifer Edmond


WP 7: SKILLS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT (2)

The mission of WP7…… is to focus on the long-term integration and promotion of an emerging class of researchers whose research depends on the availability of an appropriate ICT-based infrastructure as the basis for their methodological approach to knowledge creation.WP 7 will… … design and implement an integrated training programme, taking into account the wide-variety of training needs expressed in the partner projects and responding to them with a series of validated ‘train the trainers’ modules.

As such, PARTHENOS looks to make a significant contribution to our ability to recruit, develop and retain the very best researchers within the humanities digital research environment.

Activities:

WP 8: COMMUNICATION, DISSEMINATION AND OUTREACH (3)

http://www.parthenos-project.eu/


• Guidelines on data management• Produce a coherent, authoritative, well

accepted set of policies/guidelines/tools concerning the management of data lifecycle and related issues such as IPR, quality and so on

• Standardization and semantics• Produce a wide set of standards and

semantics, originated from community needs and tailored to the methodology and intended use by researchers

• Services and tools• Produce a coherent set of tools for carrying

out research using and re-using data 32

PARTHENOS FLAGSHIP EXPECTED RESULTS


PARTHENOS IN THE LONGER TERM

• PARTHENOS will establish the foundations for future interoperability of the Humanities:o other domains will be able to integrate

into PARTHENOS (the infrastructure under development is simple and flexible enough to enable this)

o other less integrated domains will be able to learn the value of preserving and sharing data and findings

• PARTHENOS will build bridges between the existing ERICs and provide a roadmap for future development and collaboration of the ERICs.
