27. How do affiliated projects benefit from DARIAH?
• DARIAH technical environment (e.g. virtual
machines, long-‐term archiving, single-‐sign on,
collabora@on space)
• Exper9se in data modeling, standards for (meta-‐)
data interoperability and virtual research
environments
• Sustainability (research data, results and
publica@ons, establishment of a European legal en@ty
– long term sustainability for fixed-‐term projects)
28. How does DARIAH benefit from affiliated projects?
• Close links with research communi@es, their research
ques@ons and methods
• Researchers with clear needs in terms of digital data
management and tools
• Funded grassroots developments that can be
extended to the European scholarly community
