  5. Primary Aims of CENDARI Pilot an research infrastructure leveraging analogue networks to integrate digital resources for historical researchers that is easy to use/access and essential to their research goals Two Pilot Areas • World War I • Medieval European Culture This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance

  6. Overarching Goals: The CENDARI ‘enquiry environment’ - A technical and community development with enhanced networks, methodologies and technical processes. - Bringing together disparate sources, and various formats: but ‘not YASABE’ (Yet Another Search and Browse Environment) • Uniting Library and archival holdings within existing metadata frameworks. • Creating seamless modes for intake and comparison of data. • Supporting transnational and comparative approaches across disciplines, locations and modalities This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance

Networking Goals: Broad Collaborations This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance • Historians • Archivists • Librarians • eScientists • Research Infrastructures and relevant IT/humanities projects All contributing communities to the wider vision of the CENDARI ‘enquiry environment’

  8. Resource Goals: Showcasing Europe‘s Hidden Archives This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance Overcome the tendency to focus on well-developed, well-financed archives and create a more balanced view of historic collections CENDARI will: • Transcend national and institutional data silos • Describe (often for the first time) important assets in lesser-known archives

  9. Technical Goals: New Paradigms Powerful tools and services to underpin interactive search environment • Multilingual search functions • Indexes of named entities • Personalisation features • Shared research and teaching spaces • Data visualisation • Annotation trails • etc. This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance

  10. Integrated, Interactive, Inclusive This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance Designing technologies to meet researcher and resource provider needs • Creating a feedback loop with users (historians /collections experts) • Development workshops • Training programmes • Expert seminars • Summer schools • Visiting Researcher Fellowships

  11. Timescales and Sustainability • Project duration 2012-2016 • Ongoing cooperation with other e-humanities infrastructures and projects to avoid duplication of activities • Investment not only in the resources and technologies, but in the methodologies required to maximise their value • End results to be integrated into the DARIAH Research Infrastructure This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance

  12. Getting Involved You don‘t have to be technical to contribute!! • Summer School 2014 or 2015 • Transnational Access Fellowships 2014, 2015 • Trusted Users Group (late 2013) • Meetings and workshops: http://www.aviz.fr/Cendari/Participatory This is 40 point text Gill Sans or another sans-serif text is easiest to read from a distance
