The ELEXIS Curriculum is an integrated set of training materials about electronic lexicography developed in the context of the European Lexicographic Infrastructure.

In December 2019, the University of Neuchâtel hosted a second Swiss DARIAH workshop. For this event, young scholars were invited to present their research in depth and to discuss together methodological, data management and research workflow issues.

This course is an introduction to the theories, practices, and methods of digitizing legacy dictionaries for research, preservation and online distribution. It focuses on a particular technique of modeling and describing lexical data using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) in accordance with the Guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative, a de-facto standard for text encoding among humanities researchers.

XPath (XML Path Language) is a standard query language for selecting nodes from XML documents. In this step-by-step tutorial, you will learn how to write XPath expressions in order to navigate around our XML-encoded dictionaries and select only those bits of data that you are interested in.

DARIAH Director Toma Tasovac spoke to fellow DARIAHns and colleagues from prospective DARIAH countries about the role of training and education in digital research infrastructures.

This course will help users learn how to use oXygen XML, a versatile, professional-grade XML editor to edit, validate, query and transform lexicographic data.

The Cultural Heritage Cloud (ECCCH) is a major European initiative designed to provide heritage professionals and researchers with access to data and advanced digital tools. The goal of this course is to build learners’ foundational understanding of the key concepts and technologies necessary to engage with the cloud, demonstrate some of its practical tools and applications, and inspire their further exploration of digital transformation in the heritage and research domains.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Europeana as a digital platform through a walkthrough of the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) it offers. It provides the knowledge and skills to understand the purpose they serve and the functionality they have, to exploit them by formulating efficient queries for cultural heritage information retrieval. Building on use cases, it delves into the APIs required to achieve research goals, exploring their features and providing familiarisation with supported data formats.

The goal of this course is to introduce a brief history of dictionaries as tools for the organization of knowledge about words and their meanings, and to analyze different ways of understanding and classifying the dictionary genre.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of cultural heritage data modelling, focusing on structuring and documenting information within the context of cultural heritage institutions. Participants will learn to represent information using entities and relationships, applying relevant metadata standards. The course emphasises the importance of understanding data models for reusing both data and metadata, with a specific focus on the Europeana Data Model (EDM) and its application in academic and research settings.

This course provides the essential knowledge and skills to understand and efficiently use Cultural Heritage data. Guided by Prof. Lorena, a persona created for the course, participants explore the significance of CH data, its types, and formats. They learn to identify sources for data acquisition and apply techniques to enhance data quality. The course also covers methods for organizing CH data, introduces key metadata standards, and examines current trends and technologies in the field.

The goal of this course is to introduce the Collections as Data principles in the cultural heritage sector to make available a digital collection suitable for computational use. Students will have a fundamental understanding of the complexities of Collections as Data as well as an appreciation of the diversity of the content provided by cultural heritage institutions. This course will be useful for small and medium-sized institutions willing to make available their digital collections suitable for computational use.

This tutorial examines the evolution of Open Access by tracing its historical developments and unpacking the terminology and concepts that continue to shape the movement.

This course will introduce the theories, practices, and methods of digitizing legacy dictionaries for research, preservation and online distribution by focusing on the process of converting paper-based dictionaries to electronic format through image capture, text capture, data modeling and data enrichment.
