The DH Course Registry: A Piece of the Puzzle in CLARIN’s Technical and Knowledge Infrastructure

Abstract

This chapter presents the Digital Humanities Course Registry (DHCR) as part of CLARIN’s Technical and Knowledge Infrastructure. The DHCR is an initia-tive started to provide an overview of the growing number of training activities in the field of Digital Humanities around the world. The goal of the registry, which is run jointly with DARIAH, is to collect information on the rich offerings of different courses with the help of the community and to delineate an up-to-date picture of the teaching and training opportunities in the field. First, we will introduce the DHCR, its goals, genesis, and main features. Then we will elaborate on the DHCR’s position within CLARIN’s Technical Infrastructure and how it helps to address CLARIN’s agenda and strategic goals in terms of Technical Infrastruc-ture, Open Science, and especially the FAIR Principles. Particular attention will be paid to the results of a cross-national hackathon using data and metadata from the DHCR. Furthermore, we will examine the position of the DHCR within CLAR-IN’s Knowledge Infrastructure, which includes training and education.
