Oral-History.Digital 2. Consolidation and optimization of the curation and research platform for audiovisual narrative interviews

“口述--历史.数字2”项目(oh.d2)旨在巩固和优化学术视听访谈收集的研究基础设施。叙述性口述历史访谈是历史学、语言学、社会科学和人文科学的重要来源和研究资料。在数字化转型中，对它们的公平存档和--以及跨学科--二级分析的需求正在增加。因此，自2020年以来，在DFG的资助下建立了信息基础设施口头-历史.数字(oh.d)。它支持收集机构和研究项目对其口述历史访谈进行存档、策划和展示，并支持研究人员和其他用户对其进行搜索、注释和分析。到目前为止，已经实施了一个功能原型，建立了一个用户社区，并开发了一个在财务和法律上可行的运作模式。通过“口述历史.数字2.巩固和优化视听叙述访谈培训和研究平台”项目(oh.d 2)，将巩固基础设施的功能，以便正常运作，推进和综合个别服务，扩大数据库，并在跨学科和国际层面扩大和巩固与用户群体的合作。在七个工作包(咨询和社区、软件合并、软件集成、评价、互操作性、跨学科和国际性、协调)中，oh.d 2正在创建一个全面的参考系统和一个具体来源的研究环境，以支持符合标准的管理和存档以及数字研究和分析。在这个项目中，柏林自由大学(FUB，大学图书馆/CEDIS)与奥托-弗里德里希-班贝格大学(UniBA，媒体信息学教席)、哈根费恩大学(FEU，历史与传记研究所)、弗里德里希-亚历山大-埃尔兰根-纽伯格大学(FAU，现当代历史)、路德维希-马克西特-明兴大学(LMU，巴伐利亚语言信号档案馆)和汉堡的Forschungselle für Zeitgeschichte(Werkstatt Ernerinung)合作。

The project "Oral-History.Digital 2" (oh.d 2) intends to consolidate and optimize a research infrastructure for scholarly collections of audiovisually recorded interviews. Narrative oral history interviews are important sources and research data in history, linguistics, social sciences and humanities. In the digital transformation, the demand for their FAIR archiving and – also interdisciplinary – secondary analysis is increasing. Therefore, the information infrastructure Oral-History.Digital (oh.d) has been established with DFG funding since 2020. It supports collecting institutions and research projects in archiving, curating and presenting their oral history interviews as well as researchers and other users in searching, annotating and analyzing them. So far, a functioning prototype has been implemented, a user community has been established, and a financially and legally viable operating model has been developed. With the project "Oral-History.Digital 2. Consolidation and Optimization of the Curation and Research Platform for Audiovisual Narrative Interviews" (oh.d 2), the functions of the infrastructure will be consolidated for regular operation, individual services will be advanced and integrated, the database will be expanded, and the cooperation with the user community will be extended and consolidated on an interdisciplinary and international level. In seven work packages (consulting and community, software consolidation, software integration, evaluation, interoperability, interdisciplinarity and internationality, coordination), oh.d 2 is creating a comprehensive reference system and a source-specific research environment that supports standard-compliant curation and archiving as well as digital research and analysis. In this project, Freie Universität Berlin (FUB, University Library/CeDiS) is cooperating with Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg (UniBA, Chair of Media Informatics), FernUniversität in Hagen (FeU, Institute for History and Biography), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, Modern and Contemporary History), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU, Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals), and the Forschungsstelle für Zeitgeschichte in Hamburg (WdE, Werkstatt der Erinnerung).
