TA 2: Collecting

Task Area 2 ‘Collecting’ (TA2) is dedicated to all questions of research data management (RDM) in connection with object collections. The aim is to establish quality-oriented data management processes within an integrated research data infrastructure that meets the specific requirements of object collections and their scientific contextualisation.

At the centre are five subject areas:

Collection Management
Digital provenance research
Objects as inscription carriers
Research software engineering
Semantic modelling and linked open data

TA2 brings the community together in various formats - especially in community clusters and temporary working groups. In these, domain-specific questions and requirements of RDM are identified, discussed and practically implemented. This results in recommendations and standards for the digital recording and description of objects in collections.
