DRAPIer: Digital Research and Projects in Ireland
DRAPIer is an interactive database of digital humanities projects created by third level institutions on the island of Ireland. Projects of interest can be found by keyword search or by browsing facets such as disciplines, temporal terms, Irish geographic names, Irish institutions, methods and techniques, content types, data formats, metadata formats, research clusters, funding and keyword tags.
DRAPIer documents methods, formats and standards used by projects so that new projects can learn to use similar techniques, or so established projects can find related work. The controlled vocabularies used by DRAPIer are based on those developed for ICT Guides and currently implemented by arts-humanities.net at the Centre for eResearch, King’s College London. The DHO is actively contributing to the ongoing refinement of these vocabularies.
Projects included in DRAPIer meet the following criteria:
- Affiliated with an institution of Higher Education or Cultural Heritage in Ireland
- Involves digital arts, humanities, or humanities/science
- Mandated to produce, or to have produced, substantially extant digital content or deliverables
Projects can be registered at: http://dho.ie/user/register?destination=drapier/
