The digital research infrastructure for arts, humanities and cultural heritage research has evolved to support an extraordinary range of diverse content types. Some of the digital content comes from digitization of collections, and increasingly digital methods of capture and transcription in the process of research, but there is now a very significant volume and diversity of new content which is "born digital" - from the digital documents that have replaced the manuscripts of old, to the Web itself and to social media. As citizens interact with the digital world they generate a new digital record, and this is crucial to the study of society, of culture - of the arts and humanities of the digital age, today and tomorrow.This scoping project will investigate this landscape and provide clear recommendations for a national infrastructure capability to collect, curate and analyse born-digital content. It brings together two partners who are very distinctively placed to conduct this study. The National Archives already deals with extensive born-digital content from Government, unique in extent within the Independent Research Organisations, and has developed infrastructure solutions for their growing digital content. The Oxford e-Research Centre has been developing digital methods and infrastructure solutions since its inception 15 years ago, working across disciplines and with specialisms in arts and humanities, hence uniquely positioned to contextualise born-digital content infrastructure for Arts and Humanities.The project will create an evidence base through stakeholder consultation and case studies, to understand the needs of the Arts and Humanities research community with respect to born digital data and complex digital objects, and to anticipate future requirements. Based on this it will propose a specification for the design, build and implementation of a research and innovation infrastructure for Arts and Humanities, which can integrate with other infrastructure capabilities. Recognising the importance of people and skills, it will also define a programme of skills and capacity building for the arts and humanities scholarly community in order to maximise the benefit of investment in infrastructure and tools for born-digital data and complex digital objects, which is also key to sustainability.

艺术、人文和文化遗产研究的数字研究基础设施已经发展到支持各种不同内容类型的非凡范围。一些数字内容来自于馆藏的数字化，以及在研究过程中越来越多的数字化捕获和转录方法，但现在有相当数量和多样性的新内容“天生数字化”——从取代旧手稿的数字文件，到网络本身和社交媒体。当公民与数字世界互动时，他们产生了新的数字记录，这对研究数字时代的社会、文化、艺术和人文科学至关重要，无论是现在还是未来。这个范围界定项目将调查这一情况，并为国家基础设施收集、策划和分析原生数字内容的能力提供明确的建议。它汇集了两个合作伙伴，他们有非常独特的地位来进行这项研究。国家档案馆已经处理了大量来自政府的原生数字内容，这在独立研究组织中是独一无二的，并且已经为他们不断增长的数字内容开发了基础设施解决方案。自15年前成立以来，牛津电子研究中心一直在开发数字方法和基础设施解决方案，跨学科和艺术和人文专业合作，因此在为艺术和人文学科构建数字化内容基础设施方面具有独特的优势。该项目将通过利益相关者咨询和案例研究建立一个证据基础，以了解艺术和人文研究界对原生数字数据和复杂数字对象的需求，并预测未来的需求。在此基础上，本文将提出一个艺术与人文学科研究与创新基础设施的设计、构建和实施规范，该基础设施可以与其他基础设施功能集成。认识到人才和技能的重要性，它还将为艺术和人文学术社区制定技能和能力建设计划，以最大限度地提高对基础设施和工具的投资效益，这些基础设施和工具用于原生数字数据和复杂的数字对象，这也是可持续发展的关键。
