, Welcome and scene setting from Professor Lorna Hughes & Professor Marc Alexander (University of Glasgow) ? 13.15-14.15 Workshop session 1: Peer Reviewing Digital Outputs ? 14.30-15.30 Workshop session 2: Brainstorming a checklist ? 15.30 Feedback and Wrap-up
, As mentioned above, KDL presented its Checklist for the assessment of digital outputs within the UK Research Evaluation Framework, 2019.
, This work entailed making KDL Software Development Life Cycle available as a reusable toolset for other Research Software Engineering units (including DH teams in other DARIAH countries and cooperating partners). In particular it involved: DESIR INFRADEV-03-2016-2017 -Individual support to ESFRI and other world-class research infrastructures, Grant Agreement no. 731081. ? Recreating KDL, SDLC Project Templates DESIR contributed to student (Simona Stoyanova) support and supervision for the publication of the KDL SDLC templates, available since November, 2019.
, Developing accompanying guidance documents on how to get the best out of each stage
, ? Creating/recreating schematic representations of the SDLC workflow
, Developer, UI/UX etc.) and sharing best practice around career development, ? Illustrating the respective roles and responsibilities of the RSE team members
, These guidelines are now published as an evolving work (the documentation is under version control), open to community contributions (and in a non-proprietary format for easy reuse), in a form that can be browsed and downloaded if needed
, This one-day workshop brought together experts working at the intersection of Digital Humanities and Research Software Engineering in the UK and Europe for a day of discussions around RSE models, training practices and exchange of ideas. The workshop further showcased Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH)'s ongoing work and future plans as well as training platforms as a vehicle enabling dissemination of Digital Humanities training at all levels of expertise, for sharing and discussing information and establishing best practices in DH in a range of formats. Speakers and attendees included representatives from: ? Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (Germany), London Workshop A workshop on "Research Software Engineering and Digital Humanities: Role of Training in Sustaining Expertise" was organised in collaboration with DESIR WP7 in London on the 9th of December 17
, Sussex Humanities Lab 5. Role of training platforms in delivering training and disseminating expertise 6. Presentation of DARIAH-Campus 7. The future of the RSE community in the UK and Europe 8. General discussion; plans for the publication of "KDL Handbook", future RSE training courses During the workshop, best practices adopted by different RSE for DH teams as well as challenges facing RSE for the DH community were presented and discussed in an informal yet structured setting. Representatives from Cambridge Digital Humanities, Grant Agreement no. 731081. Items on the agenda included: 1. Role of infrastructures in sustaining RSE expertise 2. Presentations from DARIAH, CLARIN 3
, RSEs for DH" different from those of RSEs working in other disciplines? 3) Challenges linked to developing, implementing and managing a Software Development Lifecycle (SLDC) that would be appropriate for the institutional context, the size and composition of the team, the nature of projects etc, The importance of domain-specific knowledge in RSE roles: to what extent are expertise of and challenges facing
, Support for developing and maintaining expertise in RSE for DH, including provision of sustainable online training platforms, from European infrastructures was discussed in presentations by representatives of CLARIN-ERIC and DARIAH. Some of the outcomes of the workshop: ? Interest in further workshops in RSE for DH and RSE training
, DESIR INFRADEV-03-2016-2017 -Individual support to ESFRI and other world-class research infrastructures
, ? Raising awareness of the community around DTech White paper https://dhtech.github.io/dhrse-whitepaper and the proposed Alliance for Digital Humanities Organisations SIG in RSE
, KDL DESIR Digital Methods Lead Natasha Romanova presented DARIAH project and teaching resources to the Department of Digital Humanities students at King's College London on 15 October 2019 and refined training materials for publication on the forthcoming DARIAH Campus Platform, particular the material created by KDL as part of the AHRC-funded MaDiH ( ??? ??? ??? ??? ): Mapping the Digital Cultural Heritage in Jordan Project 18 Research Software Engineering Training workshop, p.19, 2019.
, UK DESIR focused on sustaining: ? National partnerships mainly via the support of bootstrapping activities directed at establishing a national consortium in the form of a UK Digital Humanities Association under the auspices of the School of Advanced Study (now a DARIAH cooperating partner) (see project report months 7-12 for more details on the first UK DESIR workshop focused on the UK DH Landscape held in London in November 2017 and report for months 24-30 for the DESIR strategic meetings led by Glasgow and held in London in May, The map in figure 1 showcases the location of institutions, 2019.
, Note that this work is completed from KDL perspective but awaits vetting from DARIAH. Should DARIAH Campus platform not be able to ingest the material
