Community Cluster

Community ClusteR

CC 1 Knowledge Modelling and Interoperability

This cluster is a pool of computer scientists, data scientists and digital humanities specialists, covering the RDLC elements processing, enrichment and publication. The comprehensive aim of this cluster is facilitating interdisciplinary knowledge exchange in the area of (meta-)data modelling in order to achieve FAIR data in RDM. This comprises a group of domain specific aspects: meta- and research data structures, semantic modelling, Linked Open Data, and fuzziness, vagueness & uncertainty.

Responsible: Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main / Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz

CC 2 Data Capture and Creation

A pool of experts who have a mastery of the multiple processes of deriving digital data from cultural heritage objects, who design and apply appropriate systems and workflows in a quality-oriented manner, who understand and code software solutions, and who can assess the diversity of data formats in terms of their suitability in RDM.

Responsible: Verbundzentrale des GBV (VZG), Abteilung Digitale Bibliothek

CC 3 Authority- and Norm-Data

A pool of researchers sharing common or decentralised thesauri and standards data across all TAs in N4O and together with other NFDI consortia.

Responsible: Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz

CC 4 Research Software Engineering (RSE)

This cluster is a pool of research software engineers, computer scientists, and digital humanities specialists. The comprehensive aim of this cluster is facilitating interdisciplinary knowledge exchange in the area of development and sustainability of research software in order to achieve FAIR data in RDM. RSE for RDM to FAIRify data comprises a group of domain specific aspects: Research Software Engineering, UX/UI vs. Software Engineering as well as N4O core services.

Responsible: Computer-Anwendungen und Quantitative Methoden in der Archäologie e.V. (CAA) / Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz

CC 5 Provenance Research

A pool of researchers who conduct digital provenance research. The aim is to establish norm data on previous owners and donors and to reconstruct networks across collections. In contrast to other forms of digital provenance research, it is based on object-historical information.

Responsible: Technische Universität Berlin / Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

CC 6 Collection Management 

A pool of scientists to accompany the process of scientifically identifying, addressing and recording the objects kept in the museums, documenting them and enriching them with digital concepts, creating common thesauri and enriching them with Linked Open Data (LOD).

Responsible: Humboldt Universität Berlin, Koordinierungsstelle für wissenschaftliche Universitätssammlungen in Deutschland / Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

CC 7 Digitality in universities

The aim of the initiative is to bring together the multitude of new digital methods in a forum, on the one hand to advance the dialogue between the projects and on the other hand to bring the innovation potentials in the form of specific key qualifications into the teaching of the archaeological sciences.

Responsible: Technische Universität Darmstadt 

CC 8 Citizen Science & Community Hubs

This cluster is a pool of domain expert scientists, citizen scientists and digital humanities specialists. The comprehensive aim of this cluster is facilitating interdisciplinary knowledge exchange in the area of research data publication and harvesting of Major Unions Systems as well as information related to processing and dissemination of Citizen Science data.

Responsible: Mainzer Zentrum für Digitalität in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften (mainzed) /Generaldirektion Kulturelles Erbe Rheinland-Pfalz

CC 9 Objects as information carriers

The subject of the cluster are objects as vehicles of (semantic) information, which can be expressed in signs, literals/letters or images. The aim is to model the relationships between the physicality of an object and the semantics of the object in a multi-perspective way from the FDM point of view.

Responsible: Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften / Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

CC 10 Bio-Sciences

A pool of scientists from the archaeologies and from the other NFDI consortia to exchange transconsortial information on life sciences.

Responsible: Staatssammlung für Anthropologie und Paläoanatomie München, Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns / Deutsches Archäologisches Institut

CC 11 Material-Sciences

A pool of scientists from the archaeologies and from the other NFDI consortia to exchange transconsortial information on material sciences.

Responsible: Curt-Engelhorn-Zentrum Archäometrie gGmbH / Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum

CC 12 Cultural Anthropology

A pool of scientists from the archaeologies and well connected to the other consortia as well as a network for transconsortial exchange to Cultural Anthropology in compliance with the CARE principles.

Responsible: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Volkskunde e.V.

CC 13 Building History

A pool of scientists from the field of building research, primarily at universities, who are particularly concerned with multimodal documentation and the preservation of built architecture. The aim is to take into account the special requirements of the object genre of architecture and building documentation in the digital context by networking and integrating specialist vocabularies as well as for transconsortial exchange.

Responsible: Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg

CC 14 Geo-Sciences

A pool of scientists from the archaeologies and from the other NFDI consortia to exchange transconsortial information on geosciences.

Responsible: Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung GmbH

CC 15 Conservation-Sciences

A pool of conservation scientists and a network for transconsortial exchange on conservation science.

Responsible: Verband Deutscher Restauratoren / Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz
