The “Culture Cloud” project is creating a cultural data infrastructure for Lower Saxony that enables data sets from museums, archives, libraries, heritage conservation bodies and research institutions to be managed locally whilst remaining searchable centrally. GWDG is leading the project and, as one of the central IT infrastructure and development partner, is providing the technical basis for the data hub, interfaces, search functions and services. To this end, it is contributing its expertise in cloud and computing resources, secure operating environments, research data management and supra-regional infrastructures such as NFDI and EOSC. In this way, the Culture Cloud is creating new avenues of access to Lower Saxony’s cultural heritage – for research, cultural institutions, the general public and the creative industries.
More….AVefi, a new research platform co-developed by the GWDG, that links film collections across institutions and makes them discoverable, is now going live. The interested public will have the opportunity to search the collections of various archives by subject matter as well as technical criteria. In addition to traditional formats, the aim is in particular to make educational, functional and amateur films searchable and citable.
