Abstract

FORGE is a conference for research data management and other research data related activities in the humanities in the German speaking areas. FORGE 2021 focuses on the research data landscape and its dimensions of local and global as well as  generic and specific approaches to research data management. The research data management landscape in the German-speaking countries has been rapidly developing for the last few years and recent funding initiatives suggest that it will continue to develop in the next decade.

A well equipped research data management landscape has to address the concrete needs of a diversity of research activities in a scalable and sustainable way. The humanities display a particular diversity of methods and data types. This (sub-)disciplinary variety needs to be addressed with scalable research data management services. In this panel, we want to broaden the view and contextualize the German-speaking humanities perspective in an international and broader science landscape. The panelists come from a diverse background and can help to locate the German-speaking research data management landscape for the humanities in an international and wider scientific perspective. 

The questions underlying the theme of this conference include 

  • How specific can services be to be still sustainable? 
  • How generic can services be and still address specific needs?
  • How local can a landscape be, without getting too fractured?
  • How centralized can a landscape be without losing contact with the individual researcher?
  • How are these issues addressed in other countries?
  • How are these issues addressed internationally?

In this session we want to address at least some of these questions by also looking beyond the immediate German-speaking humanities research data management structures.
