NFDI4Culture Metadata API

The Hands-on Dialogue on Digitisation is our, cross-sector discussion format for (retro)digitisation practitioners from libraries, archives, museums, and collections. The focus is on your specific questions from the field. We provide the platform—you simply bring your topics, challenges, or experiences.

Practice Meets Dialogue – Share questions. Find solutions.

As a regular series of events, the Practical Dialogue offers a reliable opportunity to engage in dialogue—including with colleagues from other institutions whom you may not yet know.
In an open, collegial setting, you can work together to find solutions, share best practices, and learn from one another. 

The 60-minute lunchtime session will take place alternating between the last Wednesday (11 a.m.) and Thursday (1 p.m.) of the month.
No registration is required. Join us whenever it works for you—we look forward to the exchange!

NFDI4Culture: Special Interest Groups

NFDI4Culture works within various Special Interest Groups (SIG). The aim of our SIGs is to bring together and connect experts from different fields to discuss subject-specific RDM topics (digitisation, metadata for cultural heritage, etc.) and cross-cutting themes (3D, AI). The Hands-on Dialoge on Digitisation is an offer within the initiative SIG Digitisation, which is aimed at (retro)digitisation practitioners from libraries, archives, museums and collections.
