What are research data

Dealing with digital research data

Research data in the context of DARIAH-DE

DARIAH-DE has developed the following definition of research data in the context of project work:

DARIAH-DE understands all those sources / materials and results collected, written, described and / or evaluated in the context of a research and research question in the field of human and cultural sciences, and in machine-readable form for the purpose of archiving, citation and for further processing as research data.

The purpose of this definition is to take account of the special characteristics of human-scientific research and the resulting heterogeneity of the underlying data. The individual workflows reflect in a certain way the processes within a Research Data Lifecycle as they should normally be carried out.
