FAIR Heritage: Digital Methods, Scholarly Editing and Tools for Cultural and Natural Heritage (virtual meeting)
A plethora of data about cultural and/or natural heritage is nowadays available to both public and private institutions (e.g., universities, libraries, archives, museums, etc.). These data are highly heterogeneous in terms of both formats and contents. In addition, the way in which they are organized and characterized depends on the socio-cultural contexts of different working communities, their research methodologies, languages, and ways of thinking. As a consequence of this heterogeneity, it is hard to find connections across multiple datasets or to agree on data publishing policies and shared vocabularies to describe data in a common manner.

Digital scholarly editing (micro)communities of practices
Digital scholarly editing (DSE) has seen decades of intensive development both in terms of practice and theory. Projects of concrete editions have been carried out in a variety of scales, languages, scholarly disciplines and cultural areas, providing a basis for reflection on the optimal future directions of DSE. A key issue to address is the tension between the bottom-up and the infrastructure approach to proposing DSE solutions, which can be understood as a set of trade-offs: complexity of digital humanities data in specific above mentioned projects vs. the desire to standardize them more comprehensive but costly customized solutions vs. more simple but accessible solutions that use existing infrastructures.
