Abstract

In this paper we will present an institutional research data workflow model covering the whole lifecycle of the data and showcase the implementation of the model in a specific institutional context. We will present a case study from the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities, a newly founded research institute for digital humanities of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, which also supports researchers in the humanities as service unit. The main challenge addressed is how to harmonize existing processes and systems in order to reach a clear division of roles and achieve a workable, sustainable workflow in dealing with research data.
