What is NFDI4Culture? The animated film answers questions about the activities of the consortium and about new solutions in research data management – what they are needed for and who they are good for.

A basic introduction to research data management in the arts, cultural studies and humanities, with explanations for the most important concepts, standards and tools.

How can software be developed, offered and used in such a way that it itself and the research results produced with it remain sustainably available both in the sense of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and in an ecological sense?

This webinar introduces Iconclass, a classification system for the subject indexing of works of art and other cultural objects. It shows how to work with it during indexing and explains how using Iconclass can enhance the interoperability of data. Find presentation slides here.
