Bookings for the next Digital Preservation Southampton workshop are now open.

Mastering Metadata for Digital Preservation

August 28, 2026

11am-3:30pm BST (See in your timezone)

This workshop responds to a need to equip digital preservation professionals, archivists, librarians, data managers, and researchers with essential technical skills to efficiently clean, standardise, and enrich metadata to streamline their workflows and expand the reach of their collections.

We will be delving into:

  • Identifying and resolving issues in messy metadata using OpenRefine
  • Crosswalking between metadata schemas
  • Implementing preservation metadata guidance such as PREMIS

Reference Extraction at the Intersection of AI Research and the Digital Humanities: Validation, Interoperability and Collaboration [Nov 4, hybrid]

Reference Extraction at the Intersection of AI Research and the Digital Humanities: Validation, Interoperability and Collaboration

This informal meeting is meant mainly to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of data extraction, artificial intelligence, and the digital humanities. In the workshop, we continue to address the challenge of extracting heterogeneous references from texts, particularly from historical documents and humanities or legal scholarship. This second workshop focuses on three key themes emerging from the 2023 discussions:

  1. Validation: How can we evaluate and benchmark the performance of different reference extraction tools and approaches, particularly with large language models?
  2. Interoperability: How can we ensure that different tools, datasets, and workflows can work together effectively through shared data models and formats?
  3. Collaboration: How can researchers, developers, and institutions work together to advance the field of reference extraction?

The program is available online at: https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/workshop-2025/programme/

The event will take place in-person and online. Register at https://plan.events.mpg.de/e/refextract25 

A link for online attendance will be sent to registered participants before the event. Also, even if you cannot attend, but want to be informed about updates, materials being made available, etc. you can notify us about this at the registration link.

Research Sustainability Workflow – open for feedback til Nov 15th

Research Sustainability Workflow – Open for feedback !

Earlier this year DARIAH-IE partnered with the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) for a day-long workshop on the topic of Research Sustainability in the Humanities at the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin. An output of this workshop was the development of a workflow to support researchers in thinking about sustainability from the very outset of their projects. As part of the collaborative development process we invite the wider DARIAH-IE community to provide feedback on this workflow, before it is finalised for publication in the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Marketplace (SSHOMP).

This workflow is being developed as a collaboration between DARIAH-IE and the Digital Repository of Ireland and is open for feedback until November 15th, 2025.
