EGI FedCloud in Digital Humanities

Overview:

The presentation will provide an overview of the work conducted within the DARIAH Competence Centre, one of the 8 competence centres established during the EGI-Engage project. The DARIAH Competence Centre aims to broaden the usage of e-Infrastructure for the research domain of digital arts and humanities. The digital humanities, represented by the DARIAH-ERIC, is a very large resource community in the domain of arts and humanities, whose exploitation of the open science research infrastructures is still very low. On the presentation we will present the main e-infrastructural requirement of the DARIAH community and how to efficiently meet their needs. Concretely, we will demonstrate the DARIAH science gateway, a workflow-based science portal serving as a central access point for the EGI FedCloud resources for the DARIAH users. Furthermore, several services and applications, developed and tailored for a specific users needs, will be presented and finally, the plan how these services will be integrated into DARIAH science gateway to become a one-stop-shop for DARIAH researcher looking for an access to advanced infrastructures.
