Poster: FOSTERING A DATA INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES: A Case Study in Japan

Abstract

For research institutions in the humanities and social sciences in Japan, it is difficult to maintain and operate data archives on a long-term basis. Therefore, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) launched the "Program for Constructing Data Infrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences" in FY 2018 with a five-year timeframe. The program provides (1) the Japan Data Catalog for the Humanities and Social Sciences (JDCat) to enhance data discoverability, (2) ”A Guide to Data Sharing in the Humanities and Social Sciences”, (3) funding and consultation to five institutions, and (4) an online data analysis system. Through these activities, the program aims to promote long-term preservation and re-use of data in the humanities and social sciences.
