Standardised data in the humanities and cultural sciences
In Text+, the NFDI consortium for language and text-based research data, the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek and the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen re working together with other partners to expand the indexing of research data in the humanities and cultural sciences with standard data from the Gemeinsamen Normdatei (GND)and to enhance previously undeveloped databases with standard data Standard data refers to research data that can be clearly assigned to a person, for example with the help of an identification number, regardless of factors such as spelling.This benefits research and the public alike, as entities in research data (persons, works, geographies, subject headings, etc.) identified as authority data can be clearly referenced and interoperable, they offer clear search access points for data searches and, when used as controlled vocabulary in different information resources, can drive the development of the Semantic Web forward.

Enabling DMP services for the agrosystems research community: DMP4NFDI in FAIRagro
FAIRagro DMP Service Strengthens Research Data Management in Agricultural Systems Research
In collaboration with DMP4NFDI, FAIRagro has established a comprehensive service for data management plans (DMPs) tailored to agricultural systems research. Built on the open-source Research Data Management Organiser (RDMO), the service provides a discipline-specific DMP template with detailed guidance, predefined answer options, and direct access to the FAIRagro Helpdesk. It helps researchers meet funder requirements, promotes good research practice, and improves the findability, accessibility, and reusability of research data in line with the FAIR principles. Developed through a series of joint incubator projects with DMP4NFDI, the service continues to evolve, including the future integration of controlled vocabularies in collaboration with TS4NFDI.
Humanities@NFDI: Working Together for Sustainable Research Data
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration for Preserving Cultural Heritage
Humanities@NFDI brings together four NFDI consortia to ensure the long-term accessibility and reuse of research data in the humanities and cultural sciences. Through shared standards, vocabularies, and community-driven activities, the initiative fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthens digital cultural heritage research.
QualidataNet by KonsortSWD-NFDI4Society is the “central point of entry” for qualitative data and its secondary use.
QualidataNet – Making Qualitative Research Data Visible and Reusable
QualidataNet is the central access point for the reuse, archiving, and research data management of qualitative research data. Its search portal improves the visibility and discoverability of qualitative datasets from different providers. Through practical guidance, tools such as the open-source anonymization tool QualiAnon, and contributions to international metadata standards, QualidataNet supports researchers, educators, and institutions working with qualitative data. At the same time, the network fosters collaboration, exchange, and a stronger culture of qualitative data reuse across the community.
