  1. Digital Humanities Observatory Ireland’s Window onHumanities E-Scholarship

  2. Humanities Serving Irish Society (HSIS) funded under cycle four of the Programme of Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) developing an all-island inter-institutional research infrastructure for the humanities building a platform for the coordination and dissemination of humanities research, teaching, and training at an all-island level coordinated by the Royal Irish Academy

  3. An Foras Feasa National University of Ireland, Maynooth Dublin City University Dundalk Institute of Technology St. Patrick's College The Global Ireland Institute University College Dublin Institute of Technology, Tallaght Queen’s University Belfast Texts, Contexts, Cultures National University of Ireland, Galway Trinity College Dublin University College Cork Unaffiliated HSIS Partners National College of Art and Design Royal Irish Academy University of Ulster multiple research/training clusters

  4. Digital Humanities Observatory (DHO) a central component within HSIS established to: manage and co-ordinate the increasingly complex e-resources created in the arts and humanities enable research and researchers in Ireland to keep abreast of international developments in the creation, use, and preservation of digital resources

  5. Mission Statement The Digital Humanities Observatory is an all-island digital humanities collaboratory working with Humanities Serving Irish Society (HSIS), national, European, and international partners to further e-scholarship. The DHO is a knowledge resource providing outreach and education on a broad range of digital humanities topics. It provides data management, curation, and discovery services supporting the long-term access to, and greater exploitation of, digital resources in the creation of new models, methodologies, and paradigms for 21st century scholarship.

  15. developing an IT infrastructure based on grid architecture our repository development is being used as a model for other disciplinary data curation and discovery needs such as Bioinformatics Partnering with Irish Centre for High-End Computing

  16. digital archiving a research rich environment The management and curation of data is one of the most stubbornly difficult infrastructural issues facing the research community Expensive Unsure of best methods: migration, emulation, bit-level preservation Plethora of standards, many non--interoperable, many proprietary Need professionals with new skill sets to manage: Data Curators We want data that can be re-sused,to be re-used it must be Well preserved Well documented Conforming to standards and best practice To badly paraphrase TS Eliot, in Data’s beginning is its End Unlike the analogue world, the long-term management of digital data must be part of its lifecycle from womb to tomb
