CC Coordinator: Karolj Skala, Davor Davidović
Technical Coordinator:' Zoltán Farkas

CC members' list: cc-dariah AT mailman.egi.eu


Type of Competence Centre: Science-oriented

Target user communities: Digital Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

List of organizations representing the user communities: DARIAH-EU

Duration of the CC: 30 M

Starting at Project Month: 1 M

Ending at Project Month: 30 M




The DARIAH CC aims to widen the usage of the e-Infrastructures for Arts and Humanities research. The CC will develop and provide a workflow-based science gateway based on the generic-purpose WS-PGRADE and gLibrary technologies, adapted and tailored to the needs of users coming from the field of Arts and Humanities. The gateway will provide access and compute services for data residing in distributed grid and cloud storages. The gateway will be validated and enriched with the ‘Multi-Source Distributed Real-Time Search and Information Retrieval’ application (SIR). The CC will engage with Arts and Humanities communities to attract more applications and users to the gateway.

Objectives

  1. To strengthen the collaboration between DARIAH-EU and EGI using workflow-oriented application gateways and deploying A&H applications in the EGI federated cloud (EGI FedCloud)
  2. To increase the number of accessible e-Science services and applications for the A&H researchers and integration of existing NGI resources into EGI
  3. To raise awareness of A&H researchers of the possible benefits (excellence research) of using e-Infrastructure and e-Science technologies in their research, creating conditions for a sustained increase of the user community coming from A&H and social sciences as well
  4. To widen the work started within DC-NET, INDICATE and DCH-RP project to other A&H communities

Participants

  1. Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI, Leading partner), Croatia
  2. Hungarian Academy of Science, Institute for Computer Science and Control (MTA SZTAKI), Hungary
  3. Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), Italy
  4. Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH (GWDG), Germany
  5. Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS), Netherland
  6. Austria Academy of Science (AAS), Austria

Tasks

Task 1: User Support and Training

Duration: M6-M30, Leader: RBI

Objectives: Raise awareness of Arts and Humanities (A&H) researchers about the necessity of digital research and to qualify them to work with EGI DARIAH CC services

  • to organize Workshops and Training Courses
  • to provide ICT consulting services to A&H community
  • to provide technical support services

Task 2: DARIAH eScience Gateway on EGI

Duration: M1-M24, Leader: SZTAKI


Task 3: Storing and Accessing DARIAH contents on EGI (SADE)

Duration: M1-M12, Leader: INFN


Task 4: Multi-Source Distributed Real-Time Search and Information Retrieval (SIR)

Duration: M1-M12, Leader: GWDG


Task 5: Exploitation

Duration: M7-M30, Leader: DANS

Objectives: Ensure a successful transfer of the mini-projects’ results to its targeted user community and researchers and to increase the applicability and impact of the mini-projects on research conducted.

  • to increase the awareness of exploiting EGI infrastructure in the domain of A&H
  • to define the usage policy, increase applicability and impact of the mini-projects
  • to involve integrate RI resources and services into EGI
  • to disseminate the mini-project results

DARIAH EU aims to develop and maintain an eInfrastructure that supports of A&H research practices. EGI DARIAH CC will foster this aim by promoting the exploitation of EGI Grid and Cloud infrastructure to DARIAH user community. Systematic plan of approaching towards the DARIAH user community and beyond must take place by applying and integrating national roadmaps that rely on different eInfrastructure and eScience technologies. In this regard, exploitation activities will include horizontal and vertical user support. Horizontal support will be based on the dissemination of knowledge and skills and vertical by establishing of new technological solutions and environments. The grounds for this vertical component will be placed from the mini-project activities and used for designing a roadmap for sustainable A&H community involvement in EGI.


Milestones (M) and Deliverables (D)

The following gives an overview of deliverables/milestones scheduled. The 'Scope' of the deliverable defines the applicability and visibility of a deliverable. The deliverables marked as 'internal' are internal deliverables for EGI DARIAH CC and if 'external' then it is a deliverable of the EGI-Engage project that is presentable to the EC.
