DARIAH Day @ UZH

Morning Session: The Benefits of DARIAH, DARIAH and CLARIN 

Moderation: Tanja Samardžić (URRP Language and Space, UZH)

10:15h to 12:00h - Room KOL-G-204

10:15-10:35: DARIAH and Its «Architecture of Participation»  (Frank Fischer)

A decade ago, DARIAH started to work on an pan-European digital research infrastructure for the arts and humanities. In this talk, I will introduce DARIAH's "architecture of participation" and will discuss how an infrastructure can serve the single scholar as well as the scholarly community with tools, services, and know-how.

10:35 – 10:55: Veni, vidi, CLARIN!  (Darja Fišer)

In my talk I will present CLARIN, a European research infrastructure for language resources and technology. Using the example of parliamentary records, I will demonstrate the value of uniform corpora and interoperable tools to answer research questions in different scholarly fields as well as enable translingual, transnational and transdiciplinary studies.

10:55 –11:15​: DARIAH and the Infrastructural Turn in the Humanities (Toma Tasovac)
