Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about:

Reusable, machine-readable data are one pillar of Open Science (Open Scholarship). Serving this data
reuse aspect requires from researchers to carefully document their methods and to take good care of
their research data. Due to this paradigm shift, for Humanities and Heritage researchers, activities and
issues around planning, organizing, storing, and sharing data and other research results and products
play an increasing role. Therefore, during two workshop sessions, participants will dive
into a number of topics, technologies, and methods that are connected with
Humanities Research Data Management. The participants will acquire knowledge and skills that will
enable them to draft their own executable research data management plan that will support the
production of reusable, machine-readable data, a key prerequisite for conducting effective and
sustainable projects. Topics that will be covered are theoretical reflections on the role of data within
humanities research and cultural heritage studies, opportunities and challenges of eHumanities and
eResearch, implementing the FAIR principles and relevant standards, and basics of Data Management
Planning.
Learning outcomes: Participants of this workshop will gain an overview about issues related to
Humanities Research Data Management and learn about relevant tools and information resources.
Through a hands-on session, the participants will be especially equipped and skilled to draft the nucleus
of their own Research Data Management Plan.
