e-Infrastructures in the Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences: Grid-enabling Data Sets

05 December, 2007 09:30 AM - 04:30 PM

e-Science Institute, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh

The workshop follows on from some initial discussion and a meeting in August on e-infrastructure initiatives across social sciences and arts and humanities. The purpose of the workshop is to identify common interests and overlapping areas of work. The National Centre for e-Social Science is preparing a national e-infrastructure for social sciences and AHeSSC is involved in the European ESFRI project DARIAH (http://www.dariah.eu ), which will link several arts and humanities data centres across Europe. The workshop will cover Grid-enabling datasets,Authentication/authorisation, and content modelling/metadata. It will take place in the context of the Arts and Humanities e-Science Theme in Edinburgh. Beyond the initial meeting, we have planned two more workshops in early 2008:

1. Portals, Services (including e-Framework), Workflow Environments
2. User requirements (definition, comparability, identifying representative users/samples, knowledge gathering), user support

Target Audience

This event is targeted at people involved in e-Infrastructure work, in particular Arts and Humanities and Social Science researchers.
