Collaborative Online Research Platform – “German in Austria”

The Centre for Translation Studies is responsible for the development of a collaborative online research platform for the entire DiÖ project.

The collaborative online research platform will be the main communication and research hub of the “German in Austria” project. It will support researchers throughout the whole research cycle ranging from data search and analysis to publication and sustainable preservation of research data and outcomes. The outcomes will not only include an operational collaborative online research platform for the entire project but also a comprehensive and multi-dimensional (linguistic) annotation framework; the interoperability of annotation schemes, corpora, annotated data, and workflows in collaborative research as well as a full integration into CLARIN-AT, CLARIN-EU and Digital Humanities Austria. The research platform will allow for the systematic collection, storage, and representation of all research data and enable the collaboration between project members. Furthermore, our data processing will enhance the accessibility of research data and findings as well as their further use and facilitate the re-use of research results, also for teaching. Thus, we can contribute to methodological innovation in the field of digital humanities and to collaborative research among all project members.
