Humanities Data

The DARIAH-EU Annual Event 2019 was held on May 15-17, 2019 at the University Library in Warsaw, Poland. Topic of this year’s event was Humanities Data. At the very heart of this topic linger questions around the type and amount of data that humanists collect: what kind of data do we have; where is it; and who owns it? Is our data indeed complex, and if so, what makes it complex? How do definitions and conceptualisations of the term ‘data’ resonate with or, perhaps more accurately, alienate us from our conceptions of our source landscape as art and humanities scholars? And, of course, how will the major European policy initiative to build an Open Science Cloud for research data impact upon our practices and opportunities?

The 2019 Annual Event introduced a new format. It combined forms of encounter developed in prior meetings, such as Working Groups meetings, workshops organised by Working Groups and projects, and a Marketplace to exchange ideas around new research projects and infrastructural solutions with an open conference setting. This event also featured two keynotes, an opening keynote by Sally Wyatt (Professor of Digital Cultures at Maastricht University, The Netherlands) and a closing keynote by Lev Manovich (Professor of Computer Science at The Graduate Center, CUNY, and a Director of the Cultural Analytics Lab). This year’s event welcomed more than 200 participants from 20 countries.
