DHInfra.at

DHInfra.at is building an infrastructure for digitally supported research in the Austrian humanities. It fills the gap between standard offerings in cultural heritage institutions (digitization), in research data management (curated and integrated repositories vs. institutional repositories), in software solutions (domain-specific open-source products), and in HPC offerings for the natural, technical and life sciences in the processing of large amounts of data with machine learning. Equipment for digitization (scanning robots, multispectral cameras) and storage (Ceph) for repositories for data from the cultural institutions as well as GPU clusters for research with and productive use of machine learning methods are procured and implemented. Open source software is adapted and further developed to meet the specific needs of the community.

The long-term governance and maintenance of the established infrastructure will be coordinated with the CLARIAH-AT consortium.

ACDH-CH participates in the work packages on repositories and open source software, as well as acting as an interface to researchers in the identification of utilization scenarios.
