DHSS at FORGE 2023
This year’s FORGE (= Research Data in the Humanities) took place between October 4th and October 6th under the motto “Anything Goes?! Research Data in the Humanities – Critically Examined” in Tübingen.
The talks, workshops and posters critically engaged with research data and addressed, among others, the process of creating research data, data provenance, data quality, data as training data for machine learning, or legal issues. Especially the topics of automatic text recognition of manuscripts and historical prints, (knowledge) gaps in data, sensitive data, the implementation of the FAIR principles (= Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and CARE principles (= Collective Benefit, Authority of Control, Responsibility, Ethics) dominated FORGE 2023.
On October 5th, Sabine Lang presented a paper on “Always FAIR?!!! Problematic Content in Provenance Research Datasets,” in which she critically reflected on the implementation of the FAIR principles for provenance research datasets and proposed strategies for handling problematic content online.
