PARTHENOS STANDS FOR…

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The PARTHENOS project empowers digital research in the fields of History,
Language Studies, Cultural Heritage, Archaeology, and related fields across the
(Digital) Humanities. It provides a thematic cluster of European Research
Infrastructures, integrating initiatives, e-infrastructures and similar world-class
infrastructures, and builds bridges between different, tightly interrelated fields.
Investing in culture is investing in the future!

PARTHENOS …
WHY PARTHENOS?
Digital technologies have led to the creation of large digital archives, and to a variety of innovative
research methodologies applicable to these archives. We are now eager to integrate these archives and
new methods to support digital research.

… will benefit from the advanced services made available to everybody
by PARTHENOS, and can have a voice in the project development by
communicating their needs and wishes.
Such services concern all aspects of data management,
including:
• access to and sharing of data;
• management of intellectual property rights;
• integration of diverse datasets;
• tools for discovering openly available resources;
• guidelines, training and education.

Work Package 2 is the
backbone of the
PARTHENOS project.

To answer more research questions more efficiently, by
increasing and aligning the quality of repositories, data
and metadata, by providing:
• A definition of shared policies and solutions
throughout the research lifecycle, throughout Europe
and throughout humanities disciplines, concerning
issues of common interest.
• A definition of guidelines and best practices for
supporting those common policies.
• Provision of an interdisciplinary research agenda and
related foresights studies.
16
Objectives
WP 3 – COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (1)
Leader: KNAW, Hella Hollander

WP 3 - COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (2)
Overview of topics:
• Research Data Management
• Quality Assessment
• IPA Management, Open Access, Open Data
First goal:
to agree on and define the concepts of Policy, Guidelines, Best
practice, their objectives and target audience.
First investigations:
• What are the consequences of emerging approaches / new
research activities / ideas?
• How are they connected to the data life cycle, where do they
differ from current practices?
• What about IPR?

WP 3 - COMMON POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES (3)

WP 4: STANDARDIZATION (1)
Leader: INRIA, Laurent Romary
• Achievement of high-level awareness within the humanities
about generally accepted digital methods and standards.
• Definition of a minimum common framework for
standardization (the standardization survival kit).
• Standardization of reference resources (thesauri,
gazetteers, authority lists)
• Definition of accepted protocols and of procedures for data
production starting from material sources and experiments.
Objectives
Standardization
Survival Kit

WP 4: STANDARDIZATION (2)
Standards in the Arts and Humanities
• Well established practices. Examples:
- Text Encoding Initiative
* Comprehensive XML vocabulary for textual documents
- ISO TC 37/SC 4 portfolio
* Mature set of standards for linguistic annotation
- Archival standards
* EAD, EAG, EAC
* Governance and maintenance issues
• Niches to be secured:
- MEI (Music Encoding Initiatives)
• Lacunae (or fragmentations) to overcome:
- E.g. Meta-data descriptions of audio-visual data
• Library standards to interoperate with:
- METS, MODS, FRBR descriptive framework

• Pursuing interoperability
• Definition of a common semantic
framework for the sector
• Integration of multilingual
reference resources (thesauri,
gazetteers, authority lists)
• Designing resource discovery
21
Objectives
WP 5: INTEROPERABILITY AND SEMANTICS (1)
Leader: FORTH, Maria Theodoridou

The scope of Work Package 5 is
semantic interoperability.
If technical interoperability may be
achieved by standardization,
agreement on meanings is
required to go deeper and create
an interwoven network of data,
resources and researches.

domain specific tools into the Parthenos
infrastructure.
Task Workflow

5. Resource Discovery Tools
Objectives: Design, development, testing of
domain specific tools for discovery of resources
related to domain data.
4. Implementation of the Joint Resource Registry
Objectives: Design, development, testing of the Joint
Resource Registry, and population of the Registry via a
Data Aggregation Infrastructure.

• To define and address common issues across the
infrastructural partners regarding human capital
development within an e-Humanities context.
• To provide appropriate training and professional
development opportunities for researchers at early, mid
and advanced career stages.
• To create and promote best practice and policy documents
regarding the formation and promotion of researchers
basing their work in DARIAH and CLARIN, and within
partner infrastructure environment.
27
Objectives
WP 7: SKILLS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT
Leader: Trinity College Dublin, Jennifer Edmond

WP 7: SKILLS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT (2)
The mission of WP7…
… is to focus on the long-term integration and promotion of
an emerging class of researchers whose research depends
on the availability of an appropriate ICT-based
infrastructure as the basis for their methodological
approach to knowledge creation.
WP 7 will…
… design and implement an integrated training
programme, taking into account the wide-variety of training
needs expressed in the partner projects and responding to
them with a series of validated ‘train the trainers’
modules.
As such, PARTHENOS looks to make a significant contribution to our ability to recruit, develop
and retain the very best researchers within the humanities digital research environment.

WP 8: COMMUNICATIONS, DISSEMINATION AND OUTREACH (2)
Leader: KNAW, Reto Speck
• To disseminate effectively the project
goals and outcomes.
• To set up efficient tools for the
communication towards the scientific
community, professionals, decision
makers and the general public.
• To exploit synergies in liaisons and
collaborations.
Objectives

WP 8: COMMUNICATIONS, DISSEMINATION AND OUTREACH (1)

• Project website, www.parthenos-project.eu
• PARTHENOS e-Newsletter
• Twitter: @Parthenos_EU
• Presentations at conferences and other events
• Pooling and strengthening existing relationships between partners and
other international initiatives, committees and projects active in the field
of research infrastructures. Hosting joint events.
• Investigating existing open access repositories for scientific articles and
open access journals. Developing and hosting additional services if
needed.
31
Activities:
WP 8: COMMUNICATION, DISSEMINATION AND OUTREACH (3)

• Guidelines on data management
• Produce a coherent, authoritative, well accepted
set of policies/guidelines/tools concerning the
management of data lifecycle and related issues
such as IPR, quality and so on
• Standardization and semantics
• Produce a wide set of standards and semantics,
originated from community needs and tailored to
the methodology and intended use by
researchers
• Services and tools
• Produce a coherent set of tools for carrying out
research using and re-using data
32
PARTHENOS FLAGSHIP EXPECTED RESULTS

PARTHENOS IN THE LONGER TERM
• PARTHENOS will establish the foundations for
future interoperability of the Humanities:
o other domains will be able to integrate into
PARTHENOS (the infrastructure under
development is simple and flexible enough to
enable this)
o other less integrated domains will be able to
learn the value of preserving and sharing data
and findings
• PARTHENOS will build bridges between the
existing ERICs and provide a roadmap for future
development and collaboration of the ERICs.
