Building trustworthy repositories: Introduction to CoreTrustSeal certification
Scholarly primitives, such as representing, discovering, sampling and referring are typically well supported by data repositories. However, these do not provide evidence that the data or features provided by the repository are managed and operated in a trustworthy and reliable manner. Assessment against an agreed standard is a way to evaluate the reliability and sustainability of data repositories.
SSHOC Webinar: Sharing Datasets of Pathological Speech

Putting Data Protection into Practice: GDPR and the DARIAH ELDAH Consent Form Wizard
Humanities and social sciences researchers encounter a number of data protection issues in their work.
