What is DARIAH-GR / DYAS?
DYAS — Research Infrastructure Network for the Humanities implements the mission of the Greek research infrastructure for the arts and humanities DARIAH-GR.
The infrastructure supports the Greek scientific communities of the arts and humanities and contributes to the development of research with the use of information technologies, expands the scope of research through the interconnection of distributed digital resources of various kinds, promotes access, use, creation and long-term preservation of research data in digital format and supports the exchange of knowledge, methods and work practices between scientific communities.
What is the National Infrastructure APOLLONIS?
APOLLONIS is the national infrastructure that supports and promotes digital arts and humanities, and language technology and innovation in Greece.
It arose from the partnership of the two infrastructure components CLARIN:EL and DARIAH-GR / DYAS and, in the current phase, has as its primary object to further consolidate the services of the two infrastructure components, within a framework of interoperability and mutual support. At the same time, Greece continues to participate in the corresponding European infrastructures.
