nestor
nestor - Network of Expertise in Long-Term Storage of Digital Resources brings together existing knowledge, people and their expertise as a starting point for future alliances for the preservation of Germany’s digital memory. nestor has created an information and communication platform as a center of contact for questions on long-term storage. nestor forms a visible focus in Germany for cooperative efforts and for the creation of international alliances.

Alliance for Permanent Access
Major stakeholders in European science have joined together to establish an Alliance for Permanent Access to the Records of Science (APA). APA aims to develop a shared vision and framework for a sustainable organisational infrastructure for permanent access to scientific information. MPDL is involved in one of the task groupes of APA, namely the task group “Roadmap”

Priority Initiative "Digital Information"
Aim of the Initiative by The Alliance of German Science Organizations is to equipping scientists and scholars with the information infrastructure best suited to meeting their research needs is the guiding principle of this priority initiative. Among others the MPDL is part of the working group Research Data, which aims to establish structures to enable the collection, archiving and subsequent reuse of primary research data in all applicable disciplines in which these are not yet available.

DARIAH
DARIAH’s mission is to facilitate long-term access to, and use of all European arts and humanities data for the purposes of research. DARIAH is the digital research infrastructure that will connect scholarly data archives and repositories with cultural heritage for the arts and humanities across Europe, making scattered resources accessible through one click. DARIAH aims to create one European data area in which scholars and students can easily survey the available information in their field – data which is dependable in terms of both quality and durability. Research which builds on this data will expand the knowledge and understanding of our heritage, histories, languages and cultures.

The grand vision for DARIAH is to facilitate long-term preservation of and access to arts and humanities research data.

Scholars can use DARIAH to:
 * find and use a wide range of digital content from across Europe
 * find and use tools that aid data interpretation
 * participate in experimentation and innovation with other scholars from across multiple domains
 * seek advice, and exchange ideas and knowledge on all aspects of digital scholarship
 * ensure that they work to accepted standards and best practices
 * ensure the long-term preservation of data

DANS
One of the work packages of the DARIAH project.

DANS – Data Archiving and Networked Services – is an institute under the auspices of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) which is also supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).

Since its establishment in 2005, DANS has been storing and making research data in the arts and humanities and social sciences permanently accessible. To this end DANS itself develops permanent archiving services, stimulates others to follow suit, works closely with data managers to ensure as much data as possible is made freely available for use in scientific research.

DExT
The project aims to develop, refine and test models for data exchange for both survey data and qualitative research data based on XML/RDF schema and will develop tools for data import and export. The work will also research the feasibility of developing automated conversion procedures for legacy formats. The data formats to be included are those that are commonly used in research such as SPSS, STATA, XML, Atlas-ti, MaxQDA and Nvivo. The test data selected for this project are from the social sciences, but these formats are typically found across all domains of primary research. A small scale evaluation of the models and tools will be carried out in order to inform JISC of the most viable options for future development in this area.

A longer-term aim of this work would be to build a fully functional and scalable facility or service where data formats can be submitted and seamlessly returned in a chosen, desired format. The work in this proposal aims to lay the foundations upon which such a sustainable service could be built.

The project is led by the UK Data Archive at the University of Essex.
