  Humanities have convincingly argued that they need transnational research
opportunities and through the digital transformation of their disciplines also
have the means to proceed with it on an up to now unknown scale. The digital
transformation of research and its resources means that many of the artifacts,
documents, materials, etc. that interest humanities research can now be
combined in new and innovative ways. Due to the digital transformations, (big)
data and information have become central to the study of culture and society.
Humanities research infrastructures manage, organise and distribute this kind
of information and many more data objects as they becomes relevant for social
and cultural research.
