(Published on 05.11.2021) At the beginning of October, the first four sections were established in the association. In the meantime, all of them have published their section concepts.
You can find all four concepts on our zenodo community page:
- (Meta)daten, Terminologien und Provenienz (section-metadata)
- Common Infrastructures (section-infra)
- Training & Education (section-edutrain)
- Ethical, Legal & Social Aspects (section-ELSA)
The four cross-cutting topics will be addressed across the boundaries of the consortia. Representatives of different consortia are active in each section. Through close cooperation, synergy effects can be exploited.
